The guy is hilarious. He was a bit harsh at times, but it's not like what he was saying is false.
Best part was when she butchered 'agenda' and he corrected her.

"agenda. that's a pretty big word for you."

Where is he in the wrong now?

Dear Mr. Erickson:
I will start this letter by first stating that I rarely watch “reality” television. I much prefer to watch what I consider, at least in my opinion, more worthwhile programs. I would have never heard of you had it not been for a headline on Yahoo, claiming that you were the worst husband ever. Out of curiosity I clicked the link and then read of your behavior on ‘Wife Swap.’ As stated previously, I do not watch reality television so therefore I have never viewed a single episode of ‘Wife Swap’ but after reading about your rude and hateful behavior towards Gayla, I made it a point to watch this particular episode.
It is here that I would like to tell you that I’m a Missouri resident. I also will tell you that I’m educated. I have two Bachelors degrees, one Masters degree, and am currently working on a Ph.D. I have a BMI of 20 and I take good care of my body. I also endorse environmental awareness and I live as ‘green’ as I can. I also take an interest in other cultures and make it a point to stay current on global issues. In short, I am everything a Missouri resident, a Midwesterner, should not be according to your highly prejudiced, myopic viewpoint.
I took what I saw on ‘Wife Swap’ with an ample grain of salt as “reality” as portrayed on reality television may be a rather dubious representation of real life. With that said, I was nonetheless horrified and appalled at what I can only describe as vicious, callous, spiteful, arrogant, hateful, if not downright pathological behavior on your part. In fact, I am very confused as to why anyone with your so called intelligence and education can act, and treat others, like you did.
It is therefore my opinion that you, sir, are a fraud. It is my contention that you learned very little during your education. If you had, you would have discovered how interconnected we are with others as a species. You would have noted from your history lessons how elitists have abused the individuals they considered beneath them, as well as how kindly history now remembers those elitists. You might have gained some perspective on how utterly insignificant we are when compared to the vastness of the universe. You also might have learned humility and gratitude when you reflected on how very unlikely it is that we are even here. Finally, if you would have been paying attention at University, you would have felt a sense of responsibility to serve humankind as well as the environment.
The individuals you scorn have as much right to dignity as you, yet you completely demoralised that woman as well as the rest of the people captured by your wide brush strokes of generalisation. You apparently believe that people who do not live up to your standards are subhuman. That attitude, sir, is a very dangerous one to have as we have seen what happens when one group of people dehumanise another group.
I am further saddened to see you teach your children the same bigoted ideals. You are preparing them to carry on your legacy of arrogance and pompousness. This is doing a disservice to them as they will be handicapped in socialisation skills with their fellow humans as well as healthy emotional development. I hope that these apples will fall far, far from your tree.
I care not that you insulted my country as becoming an American was simply an accident of my birth. I care not that you insulted my entire state as becoming a resident of Missouri was again, simply an accident of birth. My skin is thick enough to dismiss your venom as the ideals of a bigot.
I do not forgive you your horrendous behavior or your equally sickening morality.
Although there is probably very little hope for you at this point, I recommend that now become a student of humanity. Perhaps then you will learn what it means to be human.

mmmm, elitism.
-
yes, i do, and for that i admire him. we are all stupid from time to time and deserve some sympathy, but sneers ARE merited for people who have a personal POLICY of being uneducated, unworldly, and unambitious. after all, they wanted to give the world sarah palin!
-
:tophat
The guy is a cock but I laughed almost the whole time at those Youtube clips on the link. She clearly was an uneducated bumpkin oaf and couldn't handle getting called out on it. I'd rather be an entrepreneurial sneering Brit than a fat "Proud American."

:rock elitism :rock

This guy is a fuck up.

This guy is a fuck up.
Agreed. I don't like uneducated overweight rednecks but he was so out of order and nasty to her, and the way he is raising his children is shitty.
-
but does he like Drakensang
-
watching the clips again, if the woman wasn't there for him to rag on, I'd probably think he was an even bigger dick. I get that he wants his kids to be successful in life, but come on, he's a bit too crazy there.
-
I bet I scored higher than he did on the GRE
-
i imagine he is a big fan of drakensang. i wish he was my neighbor. we could talk about drakensang and proper child-rearing techniques. :tophat

:lol :lol :lol :lol

True story: Stephen Fowler models his life after David Jaffe
-
Oh man. This guy is such a cock. :lol
-
my wife really hates him. :'(
well, he had a good run as my hero for at LEAST two hours now. that said, sleeping in the bed >>>> elitism
-
:gloomy
-
Ripping on the target is fine and all (and lord knows the target group could use the reality check and hopefully stop believing in the typical "there's nothing wrong with you, really" bullshit when there clearly is everything wrong with them), but that doesn't change the fact that the dude himself seems to be a yuppie prat of the worst kind. I hope their kids join biker gangs.
-
:gloomy
But does she like Drakensang

i should watch this show, is it as funny as that show where the crazy gap-toothed fat religious woman went fuckball nuts

That is Wife Swap. And most of the episodes are pretty ridiculous.

I'm from Missouri
we thought so

I just watched a video on youtube of this guy...he is a fucking douche.
...that is, unless I missed the part where the wife acted like the husband back in Missouri. In that case, she deserved it.
-
The question really isn't whether or not the woman deserved the shit she was served, but rather if that uppity tidytim prat of a yuppie shithole cunt should really be the one dictating the righteous terms of a worthwhile existence.
-
Meh.
You guys might take offense to her but growing up in the Midwest, I've encountered her kind all of my life and thought that his condescending attitude was worthy of applause. The fat, jingoistic, bumpkin women that I see that obnoxiously talk about anything is pretty sickening. If you want to get pissed, ask them their opinions of world views. 90% of the shit that spews out of their fat gullets is what you'd find in conservative chain e-mails or Fox News. The other 10% is admitted ignorance of the whole subject at hand, which while that is annoying, at least they are being honest.

ah, that is the only episode i have seen, then
-
i stabbed a distinguished black fellow yesterday. where's my hero thread?
-
I had never heard of this show before....guess the producers wanted the extremes of red blah blah versus blue blah blah. Oh well, don't really give a shit about this woman that much....after all she is a fool for not realizing that they were going to exploit her weaknesses. Sames goes for all of them really.
At least the English guy made it entertaining.

Boy wonder was doing academia/science/sane thought no favors by being the ego-douche he was, though.

I'm from Missouri

the clips from huffpo didn't even show her acting like that tho, and even if she did that's no excuse for acting like a total prick like he did. the way he treated her in front of his kids was what pissed me off the most, putting her down all the time and even talking to her like she was a child herself! when he forced her out of his room because she had shoes on I almost lost it. shame his kids will probably grow up to be cunts just like daddy.

nice. can you wear suspenders? I don't have any in my collection.
-
I don't wear them. Sorry, I should be on top of this shit.
-
I never watched Wife Swap. What am I missing? Hah.
I went to high school with a guy named Steve Fowler. Weird!
-
Those are 4 of the most miserable jackasses I have ever seen. And it's somewhat entertaining.
-
Wow what a dick. :maf
