This 'Dancing with the Stars', you say it is a television program?
You must be kidding, right? Who would watch a TV program where famous(?, who is Bristol Palin?) people dance with professional dancers?
Oh, that's right the American public. What a bunch of idiots. Thank you to our Public Schools and the teachers unions.
ETA: Can you post a list of sponsors for that show, so I can be sure that I don't buy the products? They may be putting something into them to make people even stupider.

The problem I am seeing is not even the television show (I simply don't watch it.), but the response to this does throw a warning flag up.
Team Palin is a average dancer (average dancer...meaning far better than my two left footed way, but in regards to people whom truely do something pro, they don't match up to the top). This is agreed upon by the judges, and even the voters that call in..
what's wrong with a show that highlights ballroom dancing? its very entertaining regardless of who is dancing.

I guess there's nothing wrong with it.....
If you are a chick.
Some of my more controlled co-workers complain that their wives make them watch it.
I'm lucky I guess, my wife doesn't watch it.

I never would have thought that the topic of Dancing With the Stars would end up on ATS!

I do agree that Palin's progress on the show is indicative of the nation's slow and deliberate decline toward embracing average and below-average (which Palin is on all accounts). Political campaigns vilify the "intellectual elite" (I want the smartest person available running the country). Schools are eliminating the "F" grade. Grammar/syntax is ignored when posting online (and those commenting on it are attacked). "Reality TV" embraces idiocy and personality train wrecks.
.
That was my guess.
i'm not "a chick"
dance is a wonderful art.
sorry you can't see that.
