Yeah it's been in the media for some time, but a recent episode sparked a lot of angry comments on one person in particular: Stephen Fowler: blog.stephenfowlersucks.com/If he toned down his insults it would have been like any other reality TV show. But he didn't. Here's the story: He's an intellectual environmentalist living in San Diego, California and his wife had to trade places with a family living in small-town Missouri (population: 55). Albeit the wife who went to San Diego wasn't that educated (and even admitted herself) she was verbally abused the whole stay if not ignored. He lashed out at times, dropping gems like: "I probably earn more in one week than you do in a year", “Agenda? That’s a big word for you. Clearly your two languages appear to be bad English, and redneck.”, "I’ll tell you my net take on this [paintballing] – fascistic, militaristic . . For a lower class family like yourselves that has young boys, perhaps with aspirations to join the army, if that’s the extent of your ambition as a young man in your family I can see how this is a perfect fit. We need folks like your family to feed it, so you’re a perfect fit.” , and other insults. People around the nation are infuriated and he even had to drop out of public view because people didn't like his abrasive attitude. If you didn't see the episode: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uG2GwSpO7tc

lol. If this guy somehow brings life back into that silly, silly show, I may have to stab my wall with a butter knife. Pray that it doesn't come to that, wall. Pray... or you die.

Deceptive title! Here I was expecting a pleasant thread that young lads could be interested in, but instead find a thread detailing the bigoted acts of a pompous pretentious pseudollectual.
