I told a friend a while back it was only a matter of time before OCC built a Donald Trump chopper. I was joking. They actually fucking did it. Unbelievable. Ok Donald. I want to see you ride the thing.

It gets even worse. In one of the most cynical attempts at cross-promotion ever conducted, American Chopper is featuring Paul Senior's appearance on Trump's Celebrity Apprentice this season as part of it's current "story" arch. At one point, after whining to Trump about his estranged sons, the Donald advised Senior to cut Junior out of his will. Seriously, this crap made it into the show.
On top of that, Senior felt it a great idea to exploit the death of his (step) mother on the show as well, by publicly creating drama with regard to how his sons chose to mourn her passing. Just lovely.

What little respect I had for the show and them as people was eroded after the father and son split!
I still contest it was done for ratings!Originally posted by vandeleurE- Jesus . Playing both sides because he didnt understand the argument in the first place

I remember when television had shows with real actors who cut their teeth on a real stage and later went into television. Many were former Broadway actors. You had clever script writers and it was make believe. This reality shit goes to the lowest of low and having the odacity to call it real when it's scripted.
These biker shows used to show the real deal. People tuned in to watch real bikes being built and the whole process and the rides were entertaining. Now it's a soap opera and then linking other lame shows up with it.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

It's all about the money. If that dad and son really hated each other they wouldn't be doing a show together. I'm sure their bike sales are down due to the economy and plus, without the show, they would just be another bunch of builders and frankly not very good ones at that. I have yet to see these fools make a frame from scratch or hammer out a tank. They will be making a Disneyland or Kotex chopper soon enough.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

I blame this whole Reality TV business on Marlin Perkins... He started this shit back in the 60's with Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom.
Same formula is used today... create bullshit concocted story lines and film it staring dumb animals... today they just substituted a different species... stupid humans.

Christ, we are old. I always found it amusing that before Jim Fowler stuck his head in an alligator's mouth or wrestled with a cheetah, he would take the time to carefully comb his hair on camera as Marlin Perkins would say "I'll wait over here in the bushes while Jim shoves an anal probe into that aardvark...", only to follow it up with an inane remark involving the show's sponsor ("Just as an anally probed mother aardvark reacts to invasion, so should you after a robbery. Mutual of Omaha is there to lend a hand.").

Are you guys talking about the little old ladie that was on the show, has died..?
The one they took to the ball game and the pitcher let her wear his world series ring or something like that.?
The woman who babysat those kids and took care of them there whole lives..?
If Jr. didn't go to her funeral I may personally go up there and punch him in the face..no doubt get my ass kicked.
Sr. not going to jr.s wedding is not the same, that gold digging bitch that is always on TV that Jr married is the reason everything fell apart as soon as Jr started seeing her, he was ruined by her.
The Trump Bike is what a theme bike should look like outstanding.
As usual Sr puts Jr's bikes to shame...I still won't watch the show heven't in a year or so.Last edited by clarathecarrot; 02-23-2012, 12:13 PM.2015 once smoke 2 smoke ...poke

That's just it: You have no idea what you are seeing, as the entire thing is a giant case of manipulation in order to sell advertising, which is pretty much what television has been since it was invented. The selling point is drama, be it real or imagined. Who knows HOW Jr. mourned his grandma? More specifically, who's fucking business is it in the first place? Think about this for a minute: Paul Senior stands in his kitchen, bitching at his wife as a film crew rolled tape. Nothing he said was implied by video evidence in the episode, yet viewers are to believe what he claims took place? Seriously, if a local news team filmed a reporter standing at the beach, pointing at the water and claiming a ship just sank or a UFO flew over ten minutes previously, wouldn't you at least want to see some actual footage backing it up, rather than have the reporter pull whatever out of his ass?
I guess the only way to resolve this is to continue watching.
