Every last one of those 'reality shows' is totally scripted

[midnight rambler]

My mechanic knows the folks who comprise one of the shops/teams on the Discovery Channel's show 'Texas Car Wars'. They told him it was 100% fake and completely scripted from start to finish, to the degree that they stage all kinds of shit, literally giving them scripts telling them what to do and say.

And now Dave Hester of A&E's 'Storage Wars' is suing A&E over the fraudulent BS.

I think anyone that has watched the show, knew that it was staged...as fake as Chief "10 Beers" on gsus. YEEEEEP!

[BrewTech]

Fake? OMG! Really?? I never would have guessed.

"Mystery Diners"

We catch people doing things that they should be arrested for (stealing money, etc) and then shame them for 30 seconds before firing them and letting them go!


So scripted.

All TV is. Don't think for a moment it isn't. I've worked with video game and television media companies. For every game a 19 year old loves, there are hundreds or thousands of middle aged individuals obsessing over every detail of the game. It sucks all the magic out of it.

I've saw an advert for a show with a really big guy in it. He was a digger or something? Anyway, this promo was all about their visit to the former house of that gangster guy who disappeared and was buried in concrete in the stadium. Hoffa?

They apparently find a safe behind a bricked wall (that looked newly cement rendered). They then haul this safe out and low and behold a bunch of yokels can crack safes (or it was conviniently left unlocked by Hoffa) and they open it and find something that enables the guy to use his hook or schtick. Some kind of booya.

I'm thinking, really? Jimmy Hoffa's house and no one found this safe and you knew it was there maybe? Really? Wow.

I used to love that show on History called "Pawn Stars", and I wondered how they got so much great stuff coming in to their pawn shop, so I did a little research, and it turns out that when touring museum exhibits come through vegas, they take something from their exhibits, like a civil war era rifle, a great vintage guitar, valuable painting or something else of historical significance, give it to a guy with a script and they pretend that "it was my uncles" and pretend that he's going to pawn it on the show. It's all BS!

anyone remember american chopper? there's an episode where they make a statue of liberty bike. there's like 20 minutes where they are obsessing over the design of the belt drive cover. then they come up with the design and get to work. my friend here in wisconsin made the whole belt drive cover for them like 6 months ahead of time with the help of karata. he then shipped it out east to the production company. the show was a total fabrication, they didn't have anything to do with either designing it or making it. he shipped them the mastercam and solidworks files, which are what you see in the episode.

All you have to look at is who produced these shows and you will know it's all fraud.
They are the masters of fraud.

JOHN FOGERTY LYRICS



"I Saw It On TV"

They sent us home to watch the show comming on the little screen
A man named Ike was in the white house big black limosine
There were many shows that followed from hooter to dootyville
Though I saw them all I can't recall which cartoon were real
The coons skin caps Yankee bats the hound dog mans big start
The A bomb fears Annette had ears I lusted in my heart
A young man from Boston said "sail the new frontier"
And we watched the dream dead end in Dallas
They buried innocents that year

[Chorus:]
I know it's true oh so true cause I saw it on T.V.

We gathered round to hear the sound comming on the little screen
The grief had passed the old men laughed and all the girls screamed
Cause four guys from England tooks all by the hands
It was time to laugh time to sing time to join the band

But all too soo we hit the moon and covered up the sky
They built the bombs and aimed their guns and still i don't know why
The dominoes tumbled and big buisness roared
Every night at six they showed the pictures and counted up the score

[Chorus:]
I know it's true oh so true cause I saw it on T.V.

The Old man rocks among his dreams a prisoner of the porch
The light he said at the end of the tunnel
Was nothing but a burglars torch
And them that was caught in the cover are all rich and free
But they chained my mind to an endless tune
When they took my only son from me

[Chorus:]
I know it's true oh so true cause I saw it on T.V.

I know it's true oh so true cause I saw it on T.V.
