Name the two most annoying people you can think of. Statistics show there’s a one-in-six chance you just named Vince Vaughn and Glenn Beck (Adam Sandler also comes high in the probability table). Great job guys! You’ve just named the two people who are about to executive produce a new reality show!
It’s like all our Christmases have come at once, except that instead of presents we have cluster bombs and instead of Santa we have a gargoyle who eats baby children. And the bow on the top of the present is the fact that this is a reality show. Because all reality shows are Emmy-nominated pieces of brilliance.
‘The Pursuit of Truth’ – I kid you not, that’s what it’s called – will be airing on Beck’s stupidly named TV network The Blaze TV. And yes, I get the irony that an actor who has pursued the truth of human frailty on screen and a ‘news anchor’ who has pursued his own special kind of truth, complete with wacko conspiracy theories, are creating this show.
Apparently, it’s got very little to do with the title. 20 documentary filmmakers will be competing against each other to get Beck and Vaughn’s backing. Personally, I’d be striving as much as I could to avoid winning that given it’ll be a massive noose around your neck, but still.
What’s better is that the lunatics running the asylum willingly admit the idea is batshit insane. Here’s Beck talking at the press conference to launch the damn thing:
I am proud to announce that Vince Vaughn and I are going to be the executive producers,” he said. “That should make everybody’s head spin. ?What the hell is Vince Vaughn doing with a crazy man?’ I know, that’s what my friends say. ?Glenn, what are you doing with the crazy man Vince Vaughn?’ Yes. It’s great, isn’t it? I love it.
I for one do not love it. I really don’t.

I take it you cannot write a sentence without calling someone stupid. Why don’t you try to discuss what it is that you disagree with. By the rubbish that you put into your “blurb” you know nothing about any facts and seem to only get your news from out of context things done by those who hate Beck. He has put togethter a network, a book company, a music company, and other things that help small businesses. He has raised money to help and has actually showed what it was spent on to help the victims of Sandy and to help many get back on their feet. He has also organized last summer over 30,000 volunteers that helped needy in Houston. Helping repair houses, feeding the humgry and much , much more. If this is a crazy man, count me in. What have you done for others this year? How have you helped thousands of Americans and struggling cities in America in the last year while Obama just spends more and more of the citizens money on stupid stuff. Who is the crazy man here? (That’s a rhetorical question, we all know it is Obama that is out to divide and ruin this country.)

I am with you Joan. I feel stupid giving this guy who rights this stuff in his moms basement the time of day. People are scared of Beck, probably have never even listened to a word he has said.
