Recently, a Patriot couple from California said they "punked" ABC and appeared on Wife Swap. Dr. Gina Loudon got tons of publicity, including on the Palin site: http://conservatives4palin.com/2013/04/ ... ement.html

As El Rushbo put it: "RUSH: ABC has a show in primetime called Wife Swap. They do. They have a program called Wife Swap, and last night they swap a Tea Party activist with a polyamorous family. I'm not kidding you. The Tea Partiers are painted as the Bible-thumping freaks, and the polyamorous family is portrayed as the open-minded, full of love, and sympathetic bunch."

Here's the episode (won't be up forever), it's hilarous: http://abc.go.com/watch/wife-swap/SH553 ... vy--loudon

Here's the awesome news: They're casting! This is the opportunity of a lifetime for Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq! An hour of national television on the American Broadcasting Company (no more just having the photo on her website in front of the ABC logo!) with publicity galore! And they pay! $15,000 at last count (http://voices.yahoo.com/my-experience-a ... 78785.html).

Please, encourage her to take ABC up on this offer on their website which is obviously directed to her:

I've never seen this show except for one clip that went viral.

Maybe this is the couple in question.

In any event, Orly would fit right in to this dreadful show that makes Jerry Springer look classy.

Orly would never exploit her small children that way.

If anyone is interested, here's some take on that episode from the poly community.

ABC's Poly vs. Tea Party "Wife Swap": What Happened (Polyamory in the News, 28 March 2013)

Quote:
"But as the two-week swap nears its end, developments take a twist. Gina leaves the Envys' home — whether she was kicked out or stormed out isn't clear to me — and she breaks the show's rules by phoning John on the other side of the country. We hear him (through a closed door) telling her to pack and return immediately: "we're definitely dealing with dark forces here."

And that's it. Usually "Wife Swap" ends with the two families sitting at a roundtable to discuss the experience. But ABC made a big thing in its publicity that this was the first time in the show's history (it's now in Season 7) when one family refused to met and discuss.

Which chickened out? The Loudons. A narrator says that John and Gina's attorney informed the show that they would no longer participate in any way. So, we are left with the triad and their kids at the roundtable alone, discussing how awfully things went, how disrespectful and judgmental the politico-religious couple were, and how utterly overjoyed they all are to be back together safe again in their own happy home.

We see a followup six weeks later. The Envys, says the narrator, continue as a happy, loving family. Angela tells the camera that one good thing to come from the experience is that they feed the kids healthier snacks now, and Chris helps cook. Angela laments for their naive early hope that they would make new friends on the show. We close with a heartwarming scene of the three adults and four kids joyfully gathered on the couch in each other's arms."


IB Family on 'Wife Swap' Engages in Culture War (Imperial Beach Patch, 29 March 2013)

Quote:
"At the end of their two weeks together, for the first time in the show's history, a final roundtable discussion did not take place. Instead the Envys sat down alone and summarily said they felt judged.

Despite repeated requests for a final statement from the Loudons by the show's creators, the family declined to comment.

While on the show, Gina said she participated to overcome stereotypes about conservatives, but on her website and radio show last week, Gina explained that her family moved to California and appeared on the show to be a part of a "culture war."

We don't have television. There is no cable service in our area. Shows like that convince me that it is not worth paying for Dish or Satellite either.
Religion is a comfort to some people. For that woman, not so much. :crazy: :dontwanttolook:

That woman is the epitome of a harridan and a shrew. By his lack of reaction, her husband seems accustomed to her rants. Could this be how Yosi reacts to Orly? My heart breaks for the youngest daughter, who looks absolutely terrified.

Don't scare Orly! Marguerite Perrin was on Trading Spouses, Wife Swap is much classier ;) Perhaps it's vulgar and exploitative, but think of the publicity she'll get!

Marguerite was so wildly popular she actually did two episodes of Spouses. This was the opening of her triumphant return:


Sadly, Ashley, her daughter, was killed in a car accident in 2007. http://celebritybabies.people.com/2007/ ... er-of-tra/ But Marguerite is still around, she did a video supporting the troops a few months ago.

Marguerite's popularity sadly reflects the values of too many people. She ranks right up there with Honey Boo Boo, which I saw for about two minutes once, when a clip was shown on another show.

I haven't seen the show myself (I don't watch television, and even if I did, the cable company here doesn't carry many channels), but I did see a news story about it. Apparently, the mother had the show producers set up trust fund accounts for each child, and their salary for the show goes directly into their trust funds, not to her or anyone else. Which, despite all the other things, makes her smarter than 95% of the people on television these days.

I trust that you are able to recognize sarcasm.
