Remember the show “Undercover Boss?” I don’t actually know
if this show is still on the air or not, but I do remember that I loved the
show when it came out, thought it was ok the second season, tolerated it for
the third, and then I remember the exact moment I stopped watching it. It was
the “Twin Peaks” episode, where about 15 minutes into the episode I just said
to myself, “Self? I have had enough of this show, and I really hate the owner
of Twin Peaks.”
Seriously there had been plenty of owners as the show wound
itself out for me that I couldn't stand, but the owner of Twin Peaks was the
one that finally did it. He was a jerk, a misogynist (and I don’t say that
lightly, you can run a place that exploits women, but this guy was over the
top) and I just hoped that nothing good would happen for this guy. I definitely
didn't want to stick around for the end of a show I was slowly growing to hate,
to see him be the benevolent dictator, like that show always seems to end. I
really looked at this place as somewhere I would never want to go, where bad
things were bound to happen.
Well apparently yesterday bad things happened at a “Twin
Peaks” and although I am not leaving the perpetrators out of the equation I am
not going to let a place run like a wild west whore house off the hook for in
the end having a wild west whorehouse atmosphere. Two rival biker gangs managed
to have a good old fashioned “shoot out” and 9 people ended up dead. I mean I
am not for censoring things, I definitely don’t want to come off as a moral
crusader, and I am perfectly fine with people spending their time how they
want, but the “Twin Peaks” culture from the owner on down SHOULD be discussed
in this whole ordeal in Waco Texas. Sue me!
I can’t get that television show with that smarmy little
worm smugly explaining his business model, and the bad taste it left in my
mouth. Yeah I realize that it is a very bad reason to write something, but I at
the very least hope that someone throws a microphone in front of the benevolent
dictator of Twin Peaks and asks him about it. Wriggly little worms deserve to
squirm, and you can’t expect all press about your “ideals” to be good,
especially when your ideals belong back in the mid nineteenth century. He
obviously forgot an old saying in the life business which is a play on the
restaurant business. You order shit, you eat shit.

Interesting, they have that show on here in Sydney currently. I find it funny because their disguises are so obvious!
Hypocritical, though, because the boss has earned enough from doing the program to give his minions such wonderful raises, gifts etc. He gets all the credit for being so kind which costs him nothing.
I didn't see the twin peaks one so I might look out for it, but that was certainly a terrifying ordeal for any bystanders.
