Title: Re: Memes strike back: Gerbils, gay blood elves, and Glenn Beck Post by: Cadaverine on October 03, 2009, 11:05:35 PM Avalanche of copycat Beck related sites in 3...2...1...
Speaking of which, I suppose now would be a good time to register glennbeckisahurriedmoron.com. Title: Re: Memes strike back: Gerbils, gay blood elves, and Glenn Beck Post by: Trippy on October 03, 2009, 11:13:04 PM As long as he keeps the site non-commercial he should be okay.

I once watched a whole episode of Glen Beck's show clearly that guy is mad.

Title: Re: Memes strike back: Gerbils, gay blood elves, and Glenn Beck Post by: ShenMolo on October 04, 2009, 05:13:55 AM Why does Fox News keep giving Airtime to someone who clearly is sick and should get psychiatric treatment. I once watched a whole episode of Glen Beck's show clearly that guy is mad. Quoted from somewhere I Googled: "Beck on August 26th had over 3 million viewers and actually beat Bill O'Reilly in the demographic of 25 to 54-year-olds by 12,000 viewers. This is unusual since Beck airs before primetime, where fewer people watch TV." I think his show is the most watched Cable program anywhere, and it airs in the afternoon.

There's more of them than you think, which is frightening when you do think on it. Their headquarters are in Switzerland. I don't think Beck has any fans outside the US.

Title: Re: Memes strike back: Gerbils, gay blood elves, and Glenn Beck Post by: Fabricated on October 04, 2009, 07:57:21 PM I really hope that Beck's audience is made up of mostly people who want to get mad at their TV and curiousity seekers, but my heart of hearts knows that mostall Americans are complete wastes of flesh.

I can point out 4 people in my office who listen or would listen to him if they had the time or Satellite radio and believe he's the only man who speaks the truth. He's a popular guy around these parts for that. Yes, you should despair. |
