At least I assume that's the plan.

Considering people will gladly pay for and walk around with T-shirts with corporate logos on them, I can't really muster the outrage for this one.
It's been around for at least a few years too, I've seen commercials for that game for a long time.

Jesus motherfucking Christ. I'm watching last night's episode, and Fox having Dean Cain on to go 'if you are unemployed, JUST START IN A FILM' is so goddamned disgusting. Everything said in the loving segment on Fox/by Republicans was. But it's literally as though Republicans think that, to quote a stand-up comic (A LIBERAL ONE!), if you're in financial straits because your political hack book's residuals aren't bringing in enough of a steady income for you, you should just do a few more after-dinner speeches, sell a few entries in your classic car collection, maybe lease your private jet and yacht to others for a short while. You know-- middle American solutions.

On the other hand, I'd rather be unemployed than host the modern incarnation of "Bloopers and Practical Jokes" that airs at 2:30 am after Saturday Night Live.

It will forever baffle me that people consider Fox News to be a journalistic endeavor, and even moreso that other stations that allegedly do want to report news try to emulate them so hard. Isn't it obvious to anyone to anyone with eyes and ears that their focus is airing things that scared white people want to hear so they can make money off of them? I mean, not even their most diehard employees believe that, do they?

Nah if pandering to dumb whites was the only success method every media outlet in the west would be booming. Ailes wins because he creates such a thick echochamber with his culture wars and biased MSM where everyone but Fox is in on this vast communist Muslim gay Jew conspiracy to not only lie to you but to DESTROY THE VERY NATION, these people can't escape.

Right, so scared white people, or rather "Real 'Muricans." It doesn't hurt to have the backing of a major political party either, of course, but the point is that they have somehow convinced people that what they do is "journalism" to the point that other media outlets want to emulate their brand of "journalism."

Then again, if anything the bomb proof office is probably evidence that he actually believes this poo poo.
