Bravo's "Real Housewives of D.C "needs to be boycotted.

The couple, Michaele Salahi and her husband who successfully crashed the Obama's first White House State Dinner, you know, the "White House Crashers"....the two who humiliated The Secret Service, our President's staff ....you know, the two who used that fraudulent behavior to secure a slot on the show by crashing the White House....thoes ones..... I am furious that Bravo has hired them! I love Bravo Top Chef, yet I am extremely disappointed in Bravo to actually reward the abusive couple. Boycott the Show........that's my reaction.....anyone else...please share if you want. I do not condone the behavior........even if it is only marginally criminal...

3. I believe they had already signed on the show when it happened

That said, I'll boycott it just for being a stupid show.

7. Hmm...and here I though I wasn't watching it just because it's

incredibly stupid, like all the other unreality shows. Now, I realize that not watching it is a political statement. One more example of my activism, it seems.

On another note: ENTERTAINMENT FORUM.

10. Sorry- just can't work up significant outrage over party crashers

Edited on Thu Jul-01-10 09:38 AM by Tailormyst

The SS officers who allowed them in are the ones who actually fucked up.

:shrug: I wouldn't watch it anyway, not my sort of thing.

13. Why would anyone watch this show in the first place?

It's not the Salahi's fault that Secret Service laid a big turd. Still, I have no idea why anyone would be interested in watching these vapid toolbags parade around and generate false drama.

17. I think the President's staff and the Secret Service humiliated

themselves. They really should have caught this couple before they had a chance to gate crash the party.

20. I was looking thru the line u on our cable AND

practically every single one of the shows on Discovery etc were some form of a reality show. The Kardisians, the Little Ones, Intervention, 17 or 18 etc, Kate plus 8. THEN the rest are re-runs of 70 and 80 and 90 TV shows. It is getting so cable is a WASTE. Even the movies are just ones shown over and over and over. We are supposed to have movies on demand. BUT the cable company won't pony up the money to upgrade the telephone lines so we can have it. Of course the cost is included in the price of the Movie channels and we don't get it.
