That's the thing.  If he is making $5 million, how many hundreds of millions are those in charge making?  You know that he is not at the top of the pecking order in this chain of money so there are those using him to make untold amounts of money while he walks away with $5 million

defiantly, the network execs laugh with glee how the public gobbles up these reality shows...........because they are ALL profit


conventional shows you had high paid casts of actors, directors, producers, then the unions who drove the trucks and constructed the sets and the camera men and the editing people adn studio space


now, you rent an apartment, get a camera man or two, and then the cast.... who will work for peanuts because they are so desperate to be celebrities, and are just happy to be on a show .........and follow them around for a few weeks


the profits for mtv are probably amazing

anyone who has a problem with this has to remember..............if there is "fault" to be assigned here in a semantic way, it is the american publics "fault"

if people didnt tune in, he would have been forgotten before he was even remembered, likewise, if people didnt show up to his club appearances

in america we vote with our wallet




but a special punishment should be assessed to ANYONE who takes it so far as to purchase his "WORKOUT VIDEO"...........these people should be violently beaten in their respective town squares





this is not an indictment of idiots like the situation, there will always be idiots.................. .this is an indictment of the american public...........we are truly generation nothingness as the great hormone god says, people who life should never see a higher water mark then working behind the counter of a tanning salon, are now becoming celebrities..........i mean, this fool isnt even a good looking guy, he is a corny 30 year old ghoul, pretending he is someone who is 20, doing what 20 year olds do


Exactly, it's not his fault he is pulling in the cash! He is popular for a reason and that reason being is the "public's" fascination on him

haha...if you want the money and don't like "doing dirty shit every single day for 40 years," then why don't you do something similar?  


The point of capitalism is that anyone can make the money.  
You don't have to stick with your shitty job.  You don't have to make little money.  
Everyone has the opportunity to be wealthy and successful.....or choose to complain whenever they see someone else become rich.  



This.
I'm goin' in...

x2  Anyone who talks shit about this guy is fucking jealous.  There isn't a person who woudl not do exactly what he is doing if given the chance.  This guy is doing nothing special or different that he hasn't his whole life except now he has found people to pay him for it.  He isn't a famous actor or athlete.  he did nothing but appear on a show that became popular and now he is getting rich off it.  I really think he is smart enough not to blow it all really fasdt like some pro athletes do.  I mean here is a guy who has marketed his abs for millions of dollars.  yet a pro bodybuilder will spend tens of thousands of dollars to get abs and other muscle and not make a fraction of what he is making.  It is ALL in the marketing.

The economy is not a zero-sum game.  This is one of the most consistent errors in economics that I see people make, often people who are very intelligent in other areas.

http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/sowell010500.asp

If every poor person in the world gathered together and gave Mike $1 and he became a billionaire, how is that immoral?  If they all volunteer to freely give the $1, what is the problem?  To oppose capitalism is to oppose freedom.

I know a lot of people here don't like you. Even by guys I really like and respect. But I like to make up my own mind and decide for myself. I've never really read anything by you that I thought was crazy or out of line. I hear you do sneaky things but I've never seen any proofs. Mostly I know you from the kind of posts you made here on this thread. Maybe it's because they stand out and I don't notice the rest of whatever bad stuff you are accused of.

But these types of posts here is why I like you and consider you a kindred spirit. People just do not understand economics. And seeing you linking Thomas Sowell you just went up even higher in my estimation. To me Thomas Sowell is the most clearest and rational thinker that far, far transcends economics. His book, "The Search for Cosmic Justice", that little book barely 200 pages long explains pretty much everything we do and why we do it in this world.

Keep fighting the good fight, my friend. And never forget that if you stand for something in life and believe and defend it there will always be people who disagree with you and not like you -- even hate you. If you get along with everyone and never really get into any serious disagreement or conflicts then you are probably a real nice guy. But chances are that you don't stand for much in life or are willing to defend any principles or beliefs assuming you even have them or if they are strongly felt. Getting along, being popular and liked, is the be all and end all for many people.

Exactly.  I watched a bit of that show a few times and I honestly don't understand the appeal, but obviously a lot of people like it and so be it.  I have no issues with voluntary exchanges in the free market.  If people are entertained by this show and willing to volunteer their money towards it, that is fine by me.  Although personally I will not.

Hey thanks pellius!!

Thomas Sowell is really great economist which I think is at least partly to do with the fact that he is a former Marxist and understands how Marxists and other leftists think.  Of all the great thinkers in economics, I have to say that he is one of my favourites.  I feel that if a person cannot see the benefits of free markets after reading Thomas Sowell, that they may never see them, at least if their transition from left-to-right is theoretical.  My transition was solely practical, after renting my house out to friends at age 23 and learning about life in the real world.

Here are some more of his columns:

http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/sowell.html

This one on disparities of talent is relevant to this topic:

http://jewishworldreview.com/cols/sowell071409.php3

Lots more good stuff in there:

http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/sowell110400.asp
http://jewishworldreview.com/cols/sowell0900908.php3
http://jewishworldreview.com/cols/sowell051607.php3

One last thing I find is that it is virtually impossible to discuss the issue of race without being considered racist by someone.  It doesn't matter what facts a person has to prove their point.  If you take take any non-politically correct issue on race, you will be labeled "racist" by someone.  With that said, my opinions on race remain the same, it's just that I try not to bring them up when they are not relevant.  For the most part, I stick with this.  When the topic is brought up, I sometimes share my views, but that's about it.  I do believe that within 25 years, public opinion on political correctness will definitely change and I already sense this shift.

these over night celebs and athletes who make a quick 5 or 6 mil much of the time end up worse off them joe public as far as money goes

5 million sounds like a lot of money, and it is..............but after lawyers, PR people, agents ...........adn the government gets their cut.........that probably realistically ends up being 2.5 million probably even less...........because the tax rate alone on income like that is almost 50%...........its probably more like 2 mil


so he has 2 mil and says "im rich".........and because of his ego, hey he is a celebrity now...........he starts spending like a celebrity.............bu t the problem is as quickly as he became famous, the public will forget about him.........

so he will spend and spend not realizing that he is only gonna get 2 years of high income............but now he has a mansion, and cars, and his mom has a house............and now he is filing for bankruptcy  



if he were smart, he will squirl it away,.....and open a chain of tanning salons or something turnkey like that...........because hsi fame is gonna be over before you know it

Very accurate. He's not even gonna get 2 mills out of it, probably around 1,5 after all the parasites will have fed on him, not even mentioning the people he'll really need like at least one good tax attorney, a decent manager and a decent PR. It's a lot of money for someone who hasn't really done anything but it's like winning the lotery, it's not a matter of merit, there's hundreds of thousands of idiots like im going to castings, photo shoots and whatever hoping to get that opportunity. Most of them end up working at a pizza place. here's a good chance he will also in about five years. If you don't learn through you work how to manage money it's as good as gone.

MattC, I didn't want to quote your posts because of the length. I'm glad to hear that Thomas Sowell is your favorite. He is definitely number one with me and his wisdom far transcends economics. I would be very comfortable turning over the whole world in his hands. I know you are often called a racist but it might behoove your accusers to know that the website you refer to is called JewishWorldReview -- a site I go to daily. And that the great Thomas Sowell is very much Black.

whats funny, like the guy mentioned above, is the little shit amount "the situation" will end up getting..............com pared to how much dough he is raking in for MTV viacom


that show he is on like single handedly turned MTV/viacom around last year, they were in the dumps...........he is making them hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars



HUNDREDS of millions..........yet he is gonna get a pathetic 60k an episode or whatever




thats why these execs love reality TV, there is zero overhead, the "talent" works for peanuts..............and the execs make all profit




the  jersey shore will have carried the company for the better part of two years, but when its over after next season or whenever the inevitable end is..........they will not even return his calls


scumbag tv execs

Who are these people? They appear to come from a more innocent generation. A generation where oral sex wasn't considered 3rd base and getting your rectum penetrated was reserved for the very few and kinky.

Bah, what am I thinking? Those three guys were probably all homos and porking each other on a daily basis and gang banging and ending with a bukake cream pie on the wholesome looking little girl.

I hate myself.

I believe the guy to the right is "Giraffe neck guy", it's a running joke on here from back in the day. Dude can't hid his giraffe neck...

As far as Mike The Situation, how long will it be before he blows his money and MTV and VH1 do a exclusive "Where are they now?", and blows up in weight like Kevin Federline did...

LOL @ Giraffe neck guy. I didn't notice it before. I'm also finding myself becoming strangely attracted to the teen girl the more I look at her.

I hate myself even more.
