What the fuck am I watching? I can't stop watching it, they dig up such cool shit in cool places.... But I'm absolutely offended by when they fuck up civil war shit and stuff... like, digging up prohibition era chicago by smashing walls with sledgehammers is one thing, and totally okay in my book.... digging up civil war shit is totally different. Basically, they make a travesty of archaeology, always bitching about how fast they have to finish or whatever. It'd be much better if those sights remained untouched, to be fully excavated, instead of crudely smashed into by a washed up wrestler who's gimmick is being the "savage family", who takes a bit off the surface, screams some retarded catch phrases, and moves on after taking the most obvious stuff, or whatever. Anyways, yeah..... it's frustrating that this guy makes all this money, and fucks up legitimate dig sites, and they could have such a cool methodical program, but instead it's a failed wrestler yelling BOOM BABY every time you see some little delicate relic that, in my assessment, he should not be allowed to touch.
Well, I assume it's real, in that they had a guy who actually knows what he's doing go through and hit it with a metal detector, and tell them what's where... Or in the sense that they go buy some storage shit, and have a broker who knows his shit and owns ALL the storage units, and they run through and have verbal diarrhoea with some almost-facts about the stuff, and then sell it. And some of the re-finding or staged voice shit is way too obvious to be a REAL fake, it's like they found it, stuck it back, and went "OH LOOK, WHAT'S THIS, YEEHAW". But if they meant to fake it, it's piss-poor, high school video students could do better. They just have a legitimately dumb-as-fuck guy digging up artefacts, I think. Which pisses me off. It's like honey-boo-boo-basted archaeology.
I suppose I am. Also because I was watching this washed up wrestler break shit when I should have been doing my homework. I miss not having a TV I took it out of a dumpster, when I forgot my knife and I couldn't rip the copper cord off of it, even by holding the cord and dropping the TV. Threw the whole thing in the car, and when I got home, plugged it in on a whim..... it worked, even the built in VCR, despite the clear "doesnt work" writing, which is still on it. The will to live was strong with this one, and so I adopted it. Maybe it will go back to the dumpster, sans it's cord
I actually really hate American Digger / Savage Family Diggers or whatever they're calling it now. I watch it, but it's mostly in horror of how bad it is and trying to cope with the fact that it was the only thing to watch on TV at the time. Most of the reality shows on Spike seem overtly fake (Worlds Worst Tennants, the Repo Games, American Digger, Auction Hunters) maybe aside from Bar Rescue. And I know that show isn't 100% legit either, but the way they present it makes it easier to suspend disbelief. The same thing goes for the Storage Wars shows as well. Fun, produced well enough, and I think it's probably quite a bit less fake than Auction Hunters. Anyways. I just think the main guy on the show is annoying in some way that I cannot define.
You mean the main guy on american digger? It's sort of like I think he'd be okay in person, but it's his persona for the camera. I'd smoke a joint with him, as long as he promised not to desecrate any historical artefacts in my presence. I doubt he's that rambunctious and stupid. Sort of like honey boo boo.... they turn on the cameras to film the worst, and encourage the worst, and lo and behold, the worst comes out.
