Yes, Of Course Bristol Palin Has A New Reality TV Show, Why Wouldn’t She

by Josh Fruhlinger

She will also star in an upcoming Christian-friendly reboot of The CraftDid you know that when you are a PR writer and you send our press releases you are supposed to write the headlines for those press releases as if they were the headlines of a legitimate news source? The sick fantasy of every PR flack is of course that some bleary-eyed editor will see your release come over the wire, grunt exhaustedly, and just run it as-is, headline and all, and this being the year 2012 and all news now being on the Internet, that probably happens pretty much constantly. Still, there is a line that even the most bone-tired Web drone will not cross, and that line is crossed multiple times in the following headline: “HIGHLY ANTICIPATED DOCUSERIES, BRISTOL PALIN: LIFE’S A TRIPP, TO PREMIERE TUESDAY, JUNE 19TH, ON LIFETIME.” Do you anticipate hate-watching TV? Do you anticipate it highly? Well, mark your calendar, in your own blood!

Let’s cast our minds back to August of 2010, when erstwhile Bristol-impregnator Levi Johnston was touting his own reality series, a proposed televised run for mayor of Wasilla that either never took place or maybe we had a stroke and the memory was erased from our brains, a blessing either way. Anyway, while engaged in these promotional duties, he took a moment to trash-talk his recently redumped babymomma, noting that “I don’t think I’m any more obsessed with making a career out of this than she is.” Joke’s on you, Levi, because Bristol is even more obsessed with “this” than you are, if by “obsessed with” you mean “successful at,” ha ha!

Anyway, here is the terrible press release, but to save you the trouble of reading it we will supply you with a free-form list of out-of-context phrases that give you the flavor of it:

  • “the chance to experience the life of one of America’s most famous young mothers”
  • “showcasing Bristol’s journey growing into womanhood”
  • “never-before-granted access to Bristol’s real-life experiences”
  • “intense media scrutiny that comes from her lineage”
  • “disciplining her toddler without Tripp’s father”
  • “single-handedly writes the next chapter in her and Tripp’s life”
  • “working with such organizations as the Candie’s Foundation to educate people about the issue”
  • “readers can get her views and opinions on various topics such as politics, pop culture and parenting”

There, that barely made you want to kill yourself, right? Before we go drink ourselves unconscious, we would like to take slight issue with The Wrap’s own attempt to squeeze pageviews out of this press release. “‘Dancing With the Stars’ fans, Sarah Palin supporters, and non-fans of teen pregnancy rejoice: Bristol Palin will return to the nation’s airwaves on June 19.” This show is not for non-fans of teen pregnancy. It is for serious devotees of teen pregnancy. Why in God’s name would you watch a docuseries about a gal famous for one thing, which is that she got teen pregnant, if you weren’t extremely keen on teen pregnancy?

Enh, at least she isn’t demanding to host the national evening news programs on all three networks or anything. Could be worse [Press release of death].

Ugh, Sarah Palin and her knocked up Chubby Cub are in the spotlight because two idiot men failed to take the proper precautions.

memzilla May 22, 2012 at 7:20 pm

It's John McCain's failure to take precautions I blame the most.

Lionel[redacted]Esq May 22, 2012 at 8:26 pm

If only he kept his presidential ambition zipped up, we all would be in better shape.

Terry May 23, 2012 at 7:49 am

Didn't Bill Krystal push her name in the VP selection process? He deserves some blame, too.

flamingpdog May 22, 2012 at 8:51 pm

Only two? Maybe if Tawd had taken some precautions 20 years ago….

tessiee May 22, 2012 at 10:02 pm

I assumed that by, "two idiot men who failed to take precautions", Barb meant:
1. Bristle's baby daddy, whoever that is, and
2. Bristle's biological father, whoever that is.

Barb May 23, 2012 at 9:20 am

The two men:
John McCain for not vetting Sarah and Levi.

KarenJ503 May 23, 2012 at 1:51 pm

No, it was that moronic Arthur Culvahouse, probably the most incompetent lawyer in America. He vetted Sarah and Todd Palin and their family by Googling them — not realizing the Palins' iron grip on Alaska news sources and law enforcement personnel and records. Evidently Culvahouse also discounted any public remarks by Alaska Dem legislators…

I actually misread the quoted headline as “HIGHLY ANTICIPATED DOUCHERIES, BRISTOL PALIN…"

anniegetyerfun May 22, 2012 at 7:10 pm

I did, too, and it seemed spot-on.

Butch_Wagstaff May 22, 2012 at 8:12 pm

Love your new avatar. Apparently, he's all done with the tweeting because the google accused him of being a misogynist racist asshole.

anniegetyerfun May 22, 2012 at 8:17 pm

Thank you! Isn't he handsome? He's back up and Twatting. Like, non-stop. He actually believes that this constitutes “publicity” of the kind that will help him in life.

Butch_Wagstaff May 22, 2012 at 9:21 pm

Oh god, you're right. Just checked balloon juice. He's going to take legal action now? Really?
If he's going to take legal action, he should know that first thing he needs to do is STFU. But I think he's too stupid to know that or even follow the advice of any attorney who tells him to do that.
He's enough of a jackass that he will probably decide to represent himself in court.

If the idea is to discourage teen pregnancy, then why not kick Bristol out of her house, make her get a real job and then if she gets one show her trying to take care of childcare on minimum wage?

KarenJ503 May 23, 2012 at 1:59 pm

Witness the career trajectory of poor Mark Ballas, who had to steer the piano-legged obese/pg? Bristol around the DWTS floor in fall 2010 earning 3rd place thanks to obsessed Palinbots, and ONLY moved up to a 2nd place finish last night with the infinitely more talented and pleasant Katherine Jenkins.

His pairing with the Palin spawn is going to haunt him the rest of his life.

PsycWench May 22, 2012 at 10:32 pm

Don't miss the moving scene where she has to decide if her child is too sick to send to daycare, meaning that she will be docked a day's pay to stay home with him.

You forgot the part where her wreck of a car dies on the side of the highway because she couldn't afford routine maintenance.

So how much will it cost to tow it to my house? WHAT?!!!

I like he part where she says "house" to describe her trailer.

valthemus May 23, 2012 at 1:06 pm

If we're really lucky, she'll be able to afford to retire. To somewhere very, very distant. And very, very remote.

miss_grundy May 22, 2012 at 7:12 pm

As long as someone is willing to pay the bills for this chippie, she will continue to be a grifter like her mother.

Wasn't it a couple of weeks ago that the media informed us that there are more couples shacking up together than married ones and that more children are now born out of wedlock? You want to know why? Because any loser, especially a Republican loser, can get a television network to pay them money to be on television.

What can Bristol teach anyone? She hasn't learned anything herself! Has she learned humility? Has she learned to take the money that she has made from reality shows and get a good education, so that she'll be able to make an honest living for herself and her son? No. She has learned to become a premium grifter, like her mother because there will always be another sucker willing to shell out a whole lot of money so that she can be on television.

And there endeth the lesson. (Am I'm first!)

anniegetyerfun May 22, 2012 at 7:53 pm

I would argue that the likely culprit of the whole "unmarried living in sin" thing has nothing to do with reality TV and more to do with a general decline in the importance of marriage as an institution – not that Americans don't love them some marriage, but that it increasingly is seen as a less crucial component of building a family.

Hell, the hubster and I wouldn't have bothered, but we didn't want my dad to faint when we got around to getting pregnant.

Butch_Wagstaff May 22, 2012 at 8:33 pm

Among the many positives that have resulted from Obama's statement about gay marriage, one of them is I knew who to cull from my facebook "friends". I hadn't seen some of these people since I was in high school and more than few became parents while they were still in high school. Three of them are on their 2nd marriage. And they have the gall to post comments that say I shouldn't legally be able to marry my partner?
I'm a much too polite person because I wanted to post something along the lines of:
"Marriage is between One Man and One Woman and, half the time, it ends in One Divorce."

anniegetyerfun May 22, 2012 at 11:40 pm

You should NEVER be polite about those things.

Fukui-sanRadioBarb May 23, 2012 at 12:25 am

I'm inclined to agree with that sentiment.

There's a place for reasoned, nuanced argument and there's a place for just telling people to shut the fuck up because they're idiots. This'd be the latter.

rocktonsam May 22, 2012 at 9:57 pm

its tee-vees fault then.

damn you tee-vee you always let me down.

Negropolis May 22, 2012 at 10:05 pm

It's definitely that, and on top of that in this particular economy, people simply aren't able to afford the type marriages ceremonies we've become accustomed to, lately (i.e. huge church, 100 white doves, five-figured dresses, twenty-layer cake…).

Sharkey May 22, 2012 at 8:30 pm

See also "Kardashian".

"Wasn't it a couple of weeks ago that the media informed us that there are more couples shacking up together than married ones and that more children are now born out of wedlock? You want to know why?"

Because when everybody is broke and jobless, there's not all that much point in tying the knot legally?

KarenJ503 May 23, 2012 at 2:09 pm

Word is that she dumped Gino, the moronic Levi-substitute that she planned the point of this "reality show" around, their "trial marriage", in that cliffhanger end-of-season episode.

Poor Tripp, he must be SO confused after Levi, Ben, Levi again, Gino, Kyle and Chris, and Gino again…"mom, who's my daddy?"

If either she or Tripp's father had more discipline with their "toddlers" in the first place, we wouldn't be in this mess.

I have always called Lifetime 'Barftime: The Misogynist Network'. This is so gaggy (a word?). I doubt Bristol can educate her own kid let alone the white trash teenage mommy masses..
Also, why does Tripp remind me of a budding version of that Jackie Haley character in Day of the Locust?

“never-before-granted access to Casey’s real-life experiences”
“intense media scrutiny that comes from her lifestyle”

How far in the hole does the Nielsen rating system go? Just sayin'.

memzilla May 22, 2012 at 7:49 pm

I believe on the negative side, the Nielsen rating system scale is:

"light negative" — throws own TV set out window
"medium negative" — cuts neighborhood cable TV feeder lines
"heavy negative" — hacks into NORAD, launches pre-emptive strike on Mitsubishi TV factories

anniegetyerfun May 22, 2012 at 8:00 pm

This is my favorite list ever.

memzilla May 22, 2012 at 9:57 pm

It's actually related to the old 1950s Nuclear Bomb Damage Assessment scale:

light damage = rubble
medium damage = gravel
heavy damage = dust

Hey, your pee is up! Nice! (I try to upfist whenever I can). Personally, I think you're seeing noticeable p fluctuation because of your relatively low number of comments–it will all even out… After some 3000 comments it takes me a prolonged amount of time to add one p to my score (weeks).

Lionel[redacted]Esq May 22, 2012 at 8:52 pm

Does anyone really know how p is calculated? I fist and am fisted, I comment, and comment on comments. Some times I get fisted a lot, some times a little. I've never seen mine go down (even when I've war blogged on Breitbart's sites), but, I'm nearing 6,500 post, and my p only gets bigger every few months. I'm starting to think that there is simply a fairy of the internet who drops down and magically alters your P as s/he sees fit.

I, for one, remain unconcerned about this. There MSUT be a game on on that night. June 19 is too early for the All-Star break and not late enough for the NHL season to have ended. Come to think of it, hockey in June should be about as popular, ratings-wise, as a "reality" show starring Bristle Palin.

I imagine there's a frying pan or clothes iron involved.

Lionel[redacted]Esq May 22, 2012 at 8:34 pm

I thought it was the equivalent of Choking the Chicken.

tessiee May 22, 2012 at 10:20 pm

*puzzles over this*
OK, "fart box" must mean rectum, so…
EWWWWWW!!!!!

CapeClod May 22, 2012 at 8:00 pm

Is she going to blame the next pregnancy on wine coolers again?

tessiee May 22, 2012 at 10:23 pm

Silly person.
Didn't you read the brown-nosing press release?
Bristle's grown into womanhood now!
She's not gonna do anything so immature and irresponsible as blame the next pregnancy on wine coolers!
She's gonna be mature and sophisticated, and blame the next pregnancy on mojitos.

el_donaldo May 22, 2012 at 8:00 pm

Lifetime, huh. Will they run it back-to-back with the ghostwhisperer's handjob show?

Skullfry Buddha May 22, 2012 at 8:30 pm

God…that reminds me of that horrible ghost hunter show.

Ghosthunter Please give us a sign. Are you here?!

And that is how we do that…

Having once worked for BP, I can only say Bravo!

tessiee May 22, 2012 at 10:25 pm

I'm guessing no apology for this one, either.

And people are *paying* for cable and sattelite delivery of this shit into their homes. Myself included

Sharkey May 22, 2012 at 8:09 pm

But what does Mercede Johnston think? She must be pissed about some aspect of this. Inquiring minds want to know!

Sharkey May 22, 2012 at 8:16 pm

readers can get her views and opinions…

I thought we were talking about TV, sheesh, nobody reads anymore.

pinkocommi May 22, 2012 at 8:16 pm

Glad to hear Bristol's new show premieres on June 19, because that gives me plenty of time between now and then to gouge out my eyes.

pinkocommi May 22, 2012 at 8:17 pm

I thought Bristol already had a show… 16 and Pregnant.

Guppy May 22, 2012 at 8:19 pm

I thought her "journey into womanhood" just involved a camping trip, some wine coolers, and the apparent lack of either contraception or good judgment.

Juneteens: Bristol Gets Emancipated

NorthStarSpanx May 23, 2012 at 10:42 am

It's hard to get emancipated when you're so gal durn stupid.

“single-handedly writes the next chapter in her and Tripp’s life?”

More like, "Ghost-writer / Underwrites the next chapter in her and Tripp's life." Thank god she's got surrogates to do all her livin for her.

Skullfry Buddha May 22, 2012 at 8:25 pm

The only comfort I can take from this is that as Bristlecone's popularity grows, Cundra will be spitting nails of jealousy.

BlueStateLibel May 22, 2012 at 8:25 pm

You know what would be cool, Warner Herzog doing a documentary on the entire Palin family. But this, no.

Sharkey May 22, 2012 at 8:34 pm

If he did film it, he would probably destroy all the copies.

Butch_Wagstaff May 22, 2012 at 8:56 pm

I think he'd prefer to work with zombie Kinski instead.

tessiee May 22, 2012 at 10:32 pm

Lars von Trier couldn't do justice to that trainwreck clan.

MosesInvests May 23, 2012 at 12:27 am

If it involved this clan of snowbillies getting eaten by Kodiak bears, definitely cool.

the ridger May 22, 2012 at 8:25 pm

Seriously: What's the biggest threat to marriage right now? Possibly, maybe, could it be giving unmarried teens their own tv shows?

fuflans May 22, 2012 at 8:27 pm

once again we see virtue is it's own reward.

no seriously, it has to be.

miss_grundy May 22, 2012 at 9:21 pm

If virtue is its own reward…..Bristol would not be rewarded. Thank G*d I don't have cable.

Chichikovovich May 22, 2012 at 9:27 pm

Absolutely. Virtue is its own reward. Absence of virtue is rewarded with reality TV shows.

tessiee May 22, 2012 at 10:32 pm

And sometimes, truckloads of money.

DerrickWildcat May 22, 2012 at 8:27 pm

I hope this isn't on at the same time as, Breaking Bad.

Maman May 22, 2012 at 8:33 pm

Gee, shouldn't Bristol have grown into womanhood before she burped out that bastard?

tessiee May 22, 2012 at 10:33 pm

Pooped out that bastard, Maman, *pooped* out that bastard.

Maman May 22, 2012 at 11:40 pm

I know but it missed the alliterative charm

Guppy May 22, 2012 at 11:40 pm

Haven't you heard? Sexual maturity is the only maturity that matters in Real America™.

Griftin' got my chips cashed in. Keep griftin', like the do-dah man
Together, more or less in line, just keep griftin' on.

Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me;
Other times I can barely see.
Lately it occurs to me, What a long strange trip it's been

Griftin', I'm a goin' home, Whoa whoa baby, back where I belong,
Back home, sit down and patch my bones, and get back griftin' home.

mavenmaven May 22, 2012 at 9:14 pm

Is she the surprise gay superhero announced by DC?

__kth__ May 22, 2012 at 9:15 pm

Must be early-onset Alzheimer's, because it only now occurred to me that, if you really wanted to promote abstinence, and not merely white evangelical cultural identity, Bristol Palin is about the last person you would enlist as a spokesperson.

shortsandpants May 22, 2012 at 9:33 pm

HEY EVERYONE!!!! LOOK AT BRISTOL!!!!! LOOK!!!! WHEEEEE!!!! SHE IS STILL THEY'RE FLAUNTING THE GREATEST HUMAN ACHIEVEMENT, EVER!! FUR AND BABIES!!!! LOOK AT THE FUR AND BABIES ON THE TEE VEE!!!!

One could say that it would be a cold day in Hell before a neophyte like Brist

“working with such organizations as the Candie’s Foundation"

Is the Candie's Foundation a charity that provides tacky high heels for impoverished skanks?

Yes.

“disciplining her toddler without Tripp’s father”

Ten dollars to a donut says that Tripp is a hyperactive, destructive little thug who no one has ever disciplined, much less read a book to.

ChessieNefercat May 23, 2012 at 2:02 pm

Oh now, tessiee, be nice! I'll bet somebody (there's got to be a fourth grade graduate in that family somewhere) reads to Tripp from Brissie's "book" every day. The chapters about how Daddy raped mommy in a tent, the story about how all their buddies heard mommy and daddy in the tent, the story about mommy's underage drinking, the story about how mommy's parents never knew what mommy was doing, etc., etc.

And yes, I'll bet you're exactly right about how he is growing up. I read something somewhere about a sneak peek which shows the little tyke being taught to stick his tongue out at people mommy doesn't like.

tessiee May 22, 2012 at 10:47 pm

I think all the Palins, Levi, and everybody associated with them needs to
*puts sunglasses on*
shut the fuck up and go away forever.
*YEEEAAAAHHH!!*

ChessieNefercat May 23, 2012 at 2:03 pm

Like you said. But they won't, will they? Political herpes, that's the Palins.

ttommyunger May 22, 2012 at 11:04 pm

This vapid little idiot should get on her knees every day and thank God she was born with a pussy, otherwise she would have absolutely nothing going for her.

BaldarTFlagass May 23, 2012 at 9:23 am

This girl tasted love, as tender as the gentle dawn.
She cried a single tear, A teardrop that was sweet and warm.
Our hearts told us we were right, And on that sweet velvet night.
A child had died, a woman had been born.

This Girl is a Woman Now; She's learned how to live.
This Girl is a Woman Now. She's found out what it's all about
And she's learnin', learnin' to live.

Anyone else remember Gary Puckett and the Union Gap?

ChessieNefercat May 23, 2012 at 2:06 pm

I had forgotten them. Thanks a lot. They were up here last year on the fair circuit. Good Lord, there were some condescending lyrics (with just a dash of creepy molestyness!) that came out of that group.

MoeDeLawn May 23, 2012 at 3:13 pm

I've always been more of a Kirby Puckett fan.

Jerri May 23, 2012 at 9:24 am

Maybe there's some opportunity for the network to do a series cross-over/guest appearance thing with that Client List show.

I'm going to go throw up at the thought of that now.

timbo71351 May 23, 2012 at 10:13 am

I gotta give her credit for one thing, I'm AMAZED Bristol hasn't had another kid by now. AMAZED.

She's going lesbo?

ChessieNefercat May 23, 2012 at 1:54 pm

“never-before-granted access to Bristol’s real-life experiences”

Bwahahah! There is anything about the Palins' real-life experiences that they haven't "granted access to" (and by granted access to, I mean shrieked, caterwauled, whined, hissy-fitted, and peed all over facebook, Greta, and Sean Crappity)?

There is something that we missed? Something that you have not yet granted access to? No, and no. Go the fuck away, Bristol, and take your nose-picking spawn and your vile harpy of a "mother" with you.

Ducksworthy May 23, 2012 at 2:00 pm

I'm loving the new SlutChic look.

ttommyunger May 25, 2012 at 5:55 am

BTW, I get "Lifetime" (DirecTV). I've never watched anything it offers and I'm positive this announcement will change nothing.

smokefilledroommate May 22, 2012 at 7:37 pm

She might need a hip check (Palin well-woman exam).

weejee May 22, 2012 at 7:43 pm

Two reds will have you singing the blues?

PuckStopsHere May 22, 2012 at 7:46 pm

The Palins have been playing shorthanded for a lot longer than 2 minutes.

smokefilledroommate May 22, 2012 at 9:15 pm

Really? She gets a show about parenting?
(get that reference and I'll love you forever)

Edit: My significant other (husband/boyfriend person) went to the Coyotes/Kings game after work. (yeah, Yotes lost– sucks.) He texted me "I hope you won't be mad…" yada yada. "It's a work thing.." Is he Don Fucking Draper? Goddamit, I have a Keith Tkachuk jersey!! He doesn't know jack shit about hockey!!! Grrrrrrr. Unbelievable.

..(And then I passively got shitfaced like Peggy Olson). –Who the fuck am I anymore?!
