Let me be the first to say not just no, but hell no!

I can’t even be fucked to subscribe to the Trailer Park Boys’ online channel, [Swearnet](https://www.swearnet.com). And I really like them. And they are 1/3 the price.

I’m hoping Jon Stewart and John Oliver get subscriptions and just pass the juicy bits on to us.

I agree with that. Between The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Last Week with John Oliver and The Soup, I usually see whatever insanity goes on on Fox News, CNN, MSNBC or any of those horrible reality shows on cable.

Edited to add, without actually watching those channels of course.

I hear enough dumb people talk politics at work and it drives me crazy in that setting -and I’m being paid. I’m not paying for that right. That’s insanity.

A lot will pay and she will make a great deal of money, I’m sure.

I clicked on that link, went to their page, and got a virus which shut my computer down.

I can’t decide if her Glenn Beckian channel should be called “The Craze,” “The Daze,” or “The Laze.”

Nope, I’m not the least bit interested in contributing to the wealth of such a hateful twit.

In a couple months I’m going to be _really_ good at making cupcakes.

If it were free I’d probably pop by every now and then for a giggle, but no way am I paying for nonsense when there’s so much available for free.

Stupid, vapid bitch has never had anything relevant to say and never will. Even Alaskans are embarrassed by her, and just wish she’d go away. I give this thing six months, tops.

What I can’t wait to see is when _anybody_ votes for any of those options besides “not on your life!”

I might turn around to see her on fire, but I also might not. 😃

“I wouldn’t piss on her ass if her piles were on fire!”

_“I want to talk directly to you on our channel, on my terms — and no need to please the powers that be,” Palin, who is also a Fox News contributor, said in a video announcing the channel. “Together, we’ll go beyond the sound bites and cut through the media’s politically correct filter.”_

She’s a Rebel and she’ll never ever be any good.

This is the most heavily participated-in poll I’ve ever seen stay unanimous on the SDMB. Normally, by this point, this board’s blend of contrarianism and smartassery has led to at least one stray vote, but no. We speak as one.

Sarah Palin: The Great Uniter?

I chose “I’d rather watch 24 hour reruns of Cupcake Wars on the Food Network”, as being closest to “I’d rather stab my eyes out with knitting needles”.
