Monster House-An Example of Liberal Think
Someday, Kaitlyn, The Monster House series might be a cult classic. Perhaps in your era you might watch the grainy re-runs of this show to your complete amusement.
For now, let me explain the show’s concept and how it works. A team of construction workers come into someone’s home and in seven days they practically rebuild the entire structure.
The family’s house that is rebuilt is selected from applicants who tell their story of woe. I assume that the producers choose a lucky family for a home remodel based on public appeal.
One week, for example, they selected a family about to give birth to triplets. Well triplets, Kaitlyn, is an unusual occurrence and my soccer Mom self approved. I cried along with the fortunate family as they shed tears at the sight of their new and greatly improved abode. Hell, triplets, damn I thought, this family DESERVES a new house. Usually, Kaitlyn, the recipients have a small and outdated home. It’s part of the allure to see a tiny house transformed into a mighty mansion. And all in one hour and in living color.
This past week I could not believe my eyeballs at the choice of a family for a home makeover.
Their claim to fame, Kaitlyn, was the fact that a runaway SUV plowed into their home one dark and rainy night.
Now understand a big ass car ramming into your living room is a most unpleasant thing. But there are people all across this United States who have suffered worse fates to their homes. I often read of families left homeless due to raging fires. In California, houses regularly slide right off the cliffs into the ocean.
But okay, let’s allow that an SUV ending up in one’s living room is very sad and a home makeover for such misfortune is greatly warranted. At least this is how I figure the producers saw it.
Let’s look at this family a bit closer, Kaitlyn, and examine how the show played out.
First, the damage by the errant car was not all that bad. At least as I saw it. The car did ram into their living room but it’s not like the entire house collapsed or anything.
Yet the producers saw a good story so okay, let’s grant them this.
The family consisted of a married couple, their teenage daughter, her boyfriend and their baby. You read that right, Kaitlyn. This young couple could only have been around 18 or so and already they have a 6 month old baby. Of course they weren’t married.
The female of the couple is a teacher. The spin begins.
“Being a teacher is a labor of love,” one of the show’s many participants seriously intoned. “Just for this the family deserves a home makeover,” the serious voice continued.
Bullshit, forgive my language Kaitlyn. Last I looked teachers get a PAYCHECK! Not to mention entire summers off, personal holidays should a snowflake fall and benefits that would impress most Americans. What the hell is this labor of love crap? Most teachers are also members of a powerful union that blocks any attempt at actually testing students to see if they have been taught properly not that we should expect teachers to do their jobs or anything. The educational scores in this country at this time, Kaitlyn, are woeful indeed. And the people churning out these educational misfits are doing a labor or love?
It’s liberal think at its worst.
Now let’s continue on. The show sends the lucky families off to some vacation spot or other while the house is being made over. THIS family chose to go to Las Vegas for the week their home was being remodeled.
“We love Las Vegas,” the teacher told the loving cameras. “And I’d love my bathroom to be modeled from the luxury bathrooms in the casinos’ suites for high rollers,” she went on.
This lady is very aware of the bathrooms designed for high rollers, eh? Which means the bitch must spend a lot of time in Las Vegas and I’m betting they do quite a bit of gambling to know the high roller suites so intimately.
As normal, the cameras will roll through the house, ostensibly to show the tiny dreary rooms this unfortunate family must live in. The audience is given an insight into the “before” in this manner, Kaitlyn, that we may be wowed by the “after”.
Kaitlyn, there’s no politically correct way to say this other than these people were piggish slobs and nothing less. And I’m not talking about the room where the SUV crashed. Also, Kaitlyn, note it was an SUV that rammed into their house. SUV’s are the new evil in this country as defined by liberals. Had I crashed into their house with my rather normal Chrysler 300 I am sure this family wouldn’t have been chosen.
More liberal thought at its worst.
Every room in that house was jammed with bonafide junk. I don’t know what the producers thought we were supposed to think but Kaitlyn, slobs don’t impress me. Even the poorest can be neat and clean.
And so the makeover went on, peppered with the drama this show loves: fears that it won’t be done on time, problems with structure, contractors full of woe.
At some point the young couple with the baby were filmed in Las Vegas looking at engagement rings. “They are trying to get their selves straight,” the show’s host lamented. All I could think is they should have gotten themselves straight before they went around screwing without birth control. Hey, it’s a thought and I’ll throw it out there.
Anyway, the young fella picks up a ring in some swanky casino jewelry shop. The ring was studded with exquisite diamonds. The vignette was meant to cause kind soccer Moms like me to lament this poor couple’s unfortunate situation that they could not afford $12,000 diamond rings.
You read it right, Kaitlyn. A $12,000 diamond ring and what does the show’s host do? Calls up the Vegas jeweler and BUYS THE RING!
Just exactly what this young couple needs, Kaitlyn, a twelve freaking thousand dollar diamond ring. Forget college for the poor baby they ill-advisedly brought into the world. Forget such as groceries and money in the bank. It made good copy to give them a huge diamond ring. But hey, maybe they’ll get married and make their poor child legitimate. Stranger things have happened.
I can’t think of any family LESS deserving of a home makeover than this gang. Gamblers and slobs.
It’s liberal thinking at its worst, Kaitlyn.
