Tuesday, December 30, 2008

People magazine reportedly paid Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston $300,000 for pictures of their newborn son Tripp. "The bidding started well before the baby was born, but once Levi's mom was arrested well, then you had a story," says one editor.

Your point? (besides your head)

To get you to respond to nothing.

Not surprisingly, it worked.


I like the picture where they put the little toddler sized shotgun and bottle of thunderbird in his hand.

It's exactly what the righties were thinking! What could top a free-market pregnancy?

"Good...the young couple can prob use it to get a start in their life together."

This is true!
I hope they put the money to good use!

With that said --- its amazin' how folks now a day would pay to watch a car crash with the hope of seeing a body!

Its as offensive as child porn!

Hey She can help pay for those clothes Her Mommy got from the RNC.

Conserv pics not as pricey as celeb kids --- Jolie and Pitt. Spread the money around.

Hate her, but Palin does pull curious crowds.

Takeit-
Jolie and Pitt donated the money to charity.

So they say.

Cabo-
Are you saying they lied? That's a fairly serious accusation. Show me your proof.

Getty Images said it will raise funds for charity by donating money from its photos of the newborn twins of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

Seattle-based Getty didn't reveal what it paid for the exclusive rights of the celebrity couple's twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline but news reports peg the sale at around $11 million.

The photos have been licensed to People magazine in the U.S. and Hello! magazine outside the U.S.

"Getty Images' dedication to philanthropy has found an effective partnership with the Jolie-Pitt family and we are pleased that, once again, we are able to use the power of imagery to make a difference in the lives of many throughout the world," said Jonathan Klein, co-founder and CEO of Getty Images, in a statement.

Show me proof they did give it to charity.

Jolie Pitt Cruise --- I would donate such money too if I were that rich.

In fact I'm praying for a miracle.

This is a good thing for the new family.

10%--at least-- will go to the church or somewhere for charity. The church was firebombed/arson and needs funds to help rebuild.

And they can use the money to get away from the Oxy-mom.

And some folks are such idiots for inferring Sarah is involved with the mother of Levi or drugs for that matter.

Cabo--

They--Pitt and Jolie-- gave the photos to Getty to sell and collect monies for their foundation.

The foundation is already set up for charity.

So they say. Glad to hear you follow such things. You may need to get a life.

I am sure they get one hell of a tax write-off if in fact this is true.

And they can use the money to get away from the Oxy-mom.

You betcha.

It should easily cover an LA detox and rehab for Levi.

So they say. Glad to hear you follow such things. You may need to get a life.

You may need to stop being such a cynical churl.

Murphy-
I think we're on the same side of an argument for the first time ever. I feel kinda dirty, how 'bout you, LOL?

Yes, the young lovers/parents should give 10% to church, make a huge down payment for a modest house, set up a fund for the kid, and then get to work and raise the family in a warm Christian atmosphere.

Takeit-
re: "...and then get to work and raise the family in a warm Christian atmosphere."

Should their marriage come before or after receiving the check?

I would think now, but they can disagree....

raise the family in a warm Christian atmosphere.

I'd suggest the first move would be to leave Alaska. Not too warm. Is killing moose and caribou if you don't need it to eat Christian? Just curious. Somehow the pictures I saw of Sarah and a young Bristol kneeling over a moaning, bloody Caribou didn't fill my heart with love.

Takit-
I'm agnostic, so I'm not sure how this works. Let me know if I have this right:

"Christian atmosphere" by steps:

1. Get pregnant as unwed teens.

2. Sell baby pictures to the highest bidder.

3. Raise family in "warm Christian atmosphere".

4. Jerry Springer?

This story made my day knowing that it would rile up the whack left.

Betelg, I think you're presuming to know my intention and then taking it to where you want to go....

I would advice them to get married and raise their kid(s) in a warm Christian atmosphere --- that does not necessarily mean the 4 steps you listed.

As for unwed teens, there is forgiveness and restoration.

FWTHOM-
I think this thread was a fine contribution. I and the other liberals here are just a little ashamed that we don't live up to the conservative moral standards, and class, of the Palin family. And I think that shows in our posts. It's jealousy, and nothing more.

As for unwed teens, there is forgiveness and restoration.

Condoms would be more efficacious.

Yes, condom would help, but I would that unwed teens WHY WAIT? it out until they are married --- but things do happen as we are humans after all.

They're all probably fucking like minks now for the photo opportunitie$.........

Can't says I blame them.

That $300,000 should help buy a lot of crystal meth for the Wasilla Hillbillies.

"I would advice them to get married and raise their kid(s) in a warm Christian atmosphere"

YEAH!

Except in the Real "warm christian atmosphere" ---- a child born out of wedlock is called a Bastard!

I feel kinda dirty, how 'bout you, LOL?

There is mud everywhere....lol



And yes--sometimes folks get the order incorrect--but there is always time to make things right.

As for Red--that is so archaic of you--when the parents wed--that word no longer applies.

And AU--the caribou was dead and yes they eat the animal.

Geez there are thousands of people who go shooting animals and eat it.

None I've ever known who take a 6 year old with them to stand over a bloody moaning creature where it lay

Where is it moaning? And you obviously have no appreciation for hunters who start their kids young in their appreciation.

Personally I have never killed any animal--but there are plenty of folks who do.

Oh I think I killed a possum trying to cross the road and I tried to miss it but I'm sure its' head hit the undercarriage of the Volvo. ;o(

If the animal was moaning--they would be fools to go near it. They can still get up and kill someone.

It looked live to me. It's mouth is contorted, was obviously in a lot of pain, and it's bloody as hell.

Of course, now that I try to find the pic it was magically removed from the internet during the campaitn. Only the thumbprint remains, can't even save that.

It doesn't matter. Thank God that nimwit will never get near the White House.

And the Zen Master said--We shall see...they already have Sarah as the number one pick for 2012 on MSLSD. Obama is not even in office and those yahoos are picking the choices for 2012.


Please realize AU--there is no way to take anyone--let alone a child near a moaning caribou, elk, moose or any animal if wounded and not yet dead.

Good grief...us farm kids grew up seeing animals butchered every fall. It was just a part of living of the land and eating our home grown food.To country kids it was just a fact of life.
It also included shooting and cooking pheasants, geese, and deer from the wild.Oh...and yes Virginia...there is blood!

The pic..

The moose has been bled out and by the looks of it gutted.She is holding its head up by one of the horns.

OK, I need help, conserv or lib, enlighten me if you know....

On Christmas eve, I went out to take a walk and a raccoon showed up (at first I thought it was a cat) and it followed me for about half an hour, back and forth (I even patted it) --- as if enjoying my company (I did enjoy the raccoon's company, amused).

Are there raccoon pets? Or nature decided to be kind to me that evening?

And they can use the money to get away from the Oxy-mom.

I hope they use the money wisely.

Those Palin's sure are popular, aren't they?
Popularity in politics is power.
Take a look around.
The girl's out living any losing VP that I can remember.
There may be questions about her qualifications but, that doesn't mean anything anymore.
It's all about the lime light.
Lime light equals interest.
Interest equals coverage.
Coverage equals viability.
That, she definitely has.
The weirdest thing is, it's not her supporters that are keeping her out front...it's her wildly fascinated detractors.
Things that make you go, hmmmm.

LIBERTARIAN

I wouldn't think too much about it.

The 12 detractors she has on the internet after the election aren't keeping her out front. It's hangover interest in babymama and babydaddy because Palin thrust them all into the limelight rather than letting them keep their private lives private.

I can't recall another candidate for VP or PRES who stuck their kids to them everywhere they went like they were made of Velcro.

This too shall pass.

Who buys "People" magazine?

Who buys People magazine?

Some people, I guess.

Sitdown,

I've run across the magazine in doctors' offices and beauty salons. Hell, even my mechanic has them in his waiting room.

The thing's that fascinate America.

Who buys People magazine?

Me.

People Magazine IS people!!!!

(for Soylent Green fans)

After all the hounding and publicity these two kids put up with, they've earned the $300,000.
the baby. Don't forget, both kids are only 18 years old so how much money can they have saved -- not much. Maybe it will let them buy a house to get started. Besides People magazine is well-known for paying big bucks to get "first baby pics" of well-known couples.

Peephole magazine?

Damn, you think they coulda coughed up another fifty bucks and gotten Sarah to show us her tits while they were at it but Noooooo!

/Just kidding Sarah's tits prolly aint worth paying to see.

...it's her wildly fascinated detractors.

~Libertine G

Ya gotta admit, Psycho Sarah is kinda like a slow motion train wreck.

Ya wanna look away, ya know you should but still you look.

Mostly in amused disbelief in her case.

Yes, keep the GOPher limelight on her by all means.

Nominate her in 2012.

Spud dares ya.

Hell, Spud double dawg dares.

Ya can't ignore THAT can you?

Ya don't want Spud to hafta start mocking you by making chicken noises in yer direction now do ya?

^_^

Be Well.

I'd say the latter, some wild animals have adapted well to having humans in their habitat and show almost no fear of us unless provoked intentionally. He'd probably sprung the 'cute animal' routine on someone else with good results & thought to try his luck again.
On the other hand I've heard of folks raising them as pets and even teaching them tricks [they are fairly clever critters], so I suppose it could go either way...

LOL...my question would be more like... ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FREAKIN MIND?
Petting a raccoon that comes up to you on the street is not a bright thing to do. I have seen a rabid raccoon walking around in the dumb phase of rabies...never,NEVER pet an wild animal.
Sheesh.

The idea of having to get rabies shots should deter you from petting wild animals.

...but, it was rather neat that it let you do that. Be careful.

All babies look pretty much the same when born (aliens). I never understood why people want to see the children of people whom they never met and don't know.

The magazine should simply use any baby pic and save the cash.

We had a pet racoon that we found trapped by the dogs as a baby. We raised him because he was too little, named him Bandit & he would drink milk from a sippy cup like a baby. CUTE! The problem is, racoons can carry rabies so you have to be careful. Probably after the grub in the garbage.


"People magazine reportedly paid Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston $300,000 for pictures of their newborn son Tripp."

Well, she wasn't gonna get any decent payment for services rendered from hockey boy, so why not whore out pics of her bastard child for the prurient American public. Doesn't matter if they get hitched (I wonder if she's gonna wear white), the kid will always carry the stigma that moms and pops were not married when he greeted the world, just a couple of randy teenagers a'gropin' and a'scrumpin' in the back seat. So much for the much touted christian value upbringing thang. Sarah and Todd failed.

Murderer. And with a foriegn car at that.

I SEE People magazine, the cover at least, at the checkout. I have never thought of buying it.

I expect like most magazines it won't last much longer. I'd guess their spending $300000 was not a great investment.

Murderer. And with a foriegn car at that.

Reminded me of Laura Bush last night (CBS) at the Kennedy awards, introducing George Jones

.."driving around as a teenager we always had him on the radio..."

Once again, the Wasilla Hillbillies rewrite the Bible to suit their own agenda:

"The wages of sin is - $300,000."

#77

No .
More like...the wages of not murdering their baby in utero...$300,000 !

Thx for all the comments on raccoon, I learnt something.
******************************
**

The wages of sin is death --- brought on by Adam and Eve --- not sudden death but being subjected to death. All humans die.

Bristol and Levi manifested the evidence of sin in human nature --- we are all prone to sin. So a behavior not recommended but forgiveable. Go and do better from here on --- raise the child to do better than you. Get married first!

...brought on by Adam and Eve ...

My Grandfather's death was brought on by buckshot. Neither Adam nor Eve were present.

FF for you Goat! Good one!
[for the zinger of course, not the dead grandpa]

Racoons are the cutest critters. Use to see them all the time in the early evening in the Camp Curry campgrounds up at Yosemite and would get some in my backyard here at home when we use to have the old kind of round metal trash cans with the snap on lid. They'd always be knocking them over looking for food.

But you're right about the need to be careful - - NEVER pet a wild animal until you're sure it doesn't have rabies, no matter how cute it looks.

just in time ta put up her bail and buy granma a new double wide so's the child has proper day care.

Just a bah humbug on a holiday eve, but if you see a photo of one infant, haven't you seen them all. Or does this one have two heads? Antlers, maybe? herm

Antlers, maybe? herm

On the first Halloween maybe..

"Antlers, maybe? herm On the first Halloween maybe."

You know, Murph, ten-month-old Trippy Palin-Johnston just might go out trick-or-treating in Wasilla's 4 p.m. dusk next October, dressed as Rudolph and wearing a Sarah-fer-Prez button, surely trailed at a respectable distance by paparazzi and press photographers seeking a scoop. herm

When Tripp has another two siblings they will be named Trailer and Trash.
