Snarking on Sunshine

I have absolutely zero belief that posting this won’t generate blowback, but what the hell: it’s funny. And it’s not as if I don’t make fun of the non-addicted as well. We are equal-opportunity snark around these parts, I tell you.

And so we at the ol’ raincoaster blog present Allison from Intervention, remixed to her favorite tune, Walking on Sunshine which poppy summer delight will never be the same again.

    I think that video would deter me from ever trying huffing. Gross!

    Yes, I’m not sure but I think her cat peed on her while she was on the floor. Can you believe this woman wanted to be a doctor?

    Blowback? I should say! It’s inexcusable of you to stick that tune in my head for the rest of the day.

    Better than Rhinestone Cowboy, which was my ear worm earlier today. Damn! It’s back again.

    OH NO! Raincoaster, you are a fucking GODDESS!

    I saw this the other night and I thought to myself, Please, God, let there be some video footage about this chick on the net because she is fucking INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!

    YOU RULE, RAIN!

    I live in the middle of Addict City, so I’m expecting to get confronted on the street about this. Then again, I’m not making fun of her because she’s addicted; I’m making fun of her because she is ridiculous. This woman is ridiculous even stone cold sober.

    Holy huffing horrible! Yo Mamma.

    p.s. Check forum for solution for Press this. I pasted the response I got by email into the forum.

    Well this certainly puts paid to the expression “there’s no such thing as bad publicity”.

    Yep. If this woman ever DOES become a doctor, who’d trust her with the laughing gas?

    Laughing gas? I’m more worried about her and a scalpel.

    For those of us on this side of the pond, WTF is she puffing on? Looks like squeesy cream but I’m guessing not.

    canned air for cleaning computer keyboards, of all things.

    It’s not the air they like, it’s the propellant. I wouldn’t worry too much about her achieving doctorhood. What the propellant doesn’t do to kill her lungs will be taken care of by what it does to kill brain cells.

    If you watch the show, you quickly realize that in that department she never had a great deal of raw material.

  17. Posted August 21, 2008 at 3:00 am | Permalink

    But she may qualify as a Republican (or Democrat, for that matter) vice-presidential candidacy based on th epast 20 hours of news.

    If it’s not on Twitter I didn’t see it. Whahappen?


One Trackback/Pingback

  1. [...] This post just about ruined the song “Walking on Sunshine” for me. Thanks, Raincoaster. And I said some snarky things about the girl in the video. However, I didn’t understand the context. Not having cable TV, or for that matter, watching much TV at all, especially in the summer, I had no idea there was such  a show as Intervention. Or that there really were people who were so hungry for attention that they would bare their lives like that. Then yesterday, there she was again on Slog. This time the videos linked to the whole show. And I watched it. I still think it’s a pathetic concept and exploitative, but Allison, I’m sorry I snarked on you. And I’m glad you went to rehab. I hope it sticks.  (Of course, I really don’t have much room to talk, since I blog my whole pathetic life. I just don’t have the audience A&E does.) [...]
