Trig and Tripp? I guess that's cute for two brothers.

DeadZone		2008-12-30 03:26:16 PM

You know what they're going to name the next one?

It's a TRAP!

TFA: MSNBC reports that People magazine won the bidding war for the photos, paying an estimated $300,000 for them.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph. What the fark is wrong with the world where the pictures of a farking baby are worth more than the paper they're printed on?

It's what the public's paying for...sad to say.

CitizenTed		2008-12-30 03:43:31 PM

So, if my mother was a half-wit governor and worldwide laughingstock, could I sell a picture of my poop for, say, $75,000?

Lionel Mandrake		2008-12-30 03:43:51 PM

Levi's gonna want cash. He would have bailed from this sham for tree-fiddy and a can of Skoal Bandits before, but now he can make it ugly and profitable.

jaylectricity		2008-12-30 03:47:55 PM

So a hard working man from the midwest loses his job at the tire factory, loses his home to foreclosure and can't afford to feed his two teenage daughters but this vapid b*tch is going to get paid $300,000 for getting drunk and boning some hillbilly from Alaska?

Not a single one of those dollars should go to her. She should take all of the money and donate it to multiple charities and be happy for the attention.

Ooh it's a handy little microcosm of everything wrong with America.

As disappointing and sad as it is that People Magazine is paying Bristol enough money to buy meth for everyone in Wasilla for a whole week, what's MORE disappointing and sad is that there are actual people who will rush out and buy this issue and talk about how the baby has "her sainted grandmother's eyes."

Diogenes: Trig and Tripp? I guess that's cute for two brothers.

You can count me in the crowd that thinks the Trig pregnancy has a lot of "odd" things surrounding it, if everything reported is true.

But, assuming that the April 18th birth was accurate for Trig, then Bristol having another baby barely 8 months (and it not being a preemie) later is neigh just about improbable.

So, that leaves the following possibilities:
1. Trig is Sarah's, and she was just an idiot in how she dealt with the delivery (flying back to Alaska from Louisiana after her water breaks), and Tripp is Bristol's.
2. Both are Bristol's, and Trig was actually born a bit earlier, with the whole emergency flying back to Alaska thing as a "cover" for timeline continuity, and for some reason Bristol decided she needed some lovin' almost immediately after giving birth, and got pregnant again right away.
3. Trig is Bristol's, and the whole 2nd pregnancy was a cover for the first one, and this is a secretly adopted baby that was scheduled to be born about the time needed for the math to work.

As much as I think there was a lot of weird stuff going on with the Trig pregnancy, I think you have to go with #1.

That's gonna buy a hell of a double-wide.

/Quick and dirty

Knowing that Levi is a hockey player (as am I), I really see no other plausible reason for naming your kid Easton than the hockey manufacturer. Maybe he's trying to cash in on naming rights.

Atypical Person Reading Fark		2008-12-30 04:38:35 PM

I think it's cool you can apparently choose any last name you want for your new baby.

Nobody wants pictures of the baby.

We only want pictures of the twins.

that's a special kid to get that kinda money

i'd pay 8 dollars to see that picture.

also: damn i need a family member to go pubilc and be dumb so that when i have kids i can pay for their upbringing by letting a magazine snap off a few pics

But does it have a funky beat and, more importantly, can I bug out to it?

srhp29		2008-12-30 04:41:39 PM

Why would Palin, who was already the Governor of Alaska and probably had very little thought about perhaps being put on Republican ticket at the time of his birth (much less the pregancy), have lied and said Trig is her's if he weren't?

Was she afraid they would impeach her as governor if her daughter had a baby?

Mrs. Palin is also an older lady and babies born to older mothers have a higher rate of being born with Downs.

The election is over. Her side lost. I voted for Obama. Why are people still trying to make up silly stories about her youngest child actually being her daughter's?

Evidence? Why doesn't Palin look pregnant in pictures? I dunno. Are there pictures from the same time frame where her daughter looks pregnant? Don't you need both?

The same thing that's always been wrong with the world. It's populated by humans.

YoungSwedishBlonde		2008-12-30 04:42:12 PM

That'll buy a whole lot of hockey equipment.

Car_Ramrod		2008-12-30 04:42:46 PM

Jesus christ. Shut the hell up about Palin and her troop. It was bad enough during the election when she might've actually mattered, but now that she's sequestered back to Alaska, who cares? And seriously, leave these stupid kids and their shenanigans alone. Bristol's pretty cute, but that's the extent to my concern about them. What's the point?

holmer		2008-12-30 04:43:00 PM

If people are stupid enough to pay that much, ask for more.

Celebrity photos, I don't know why sheeple like to worship celebrities, gods, stains on walls, faces on sandwiches, etc... That's some massive stupid and ignorance pie with a retard filling.

Not a single one of those dollars should go to her. She should take all of the money and donate it to multiple charities and be happy for the attention.

One has absolutely nothing to do with the other. If someone wanted to pay the same "hard working man from the midwest" 300 grand for doing nothing, would you still be this angry at him?

Not her fault people buy People.

From who? Who has this money? They should just give all of it to me, if they plan on investing it so poorly. I could actually use it.

I'm still waiting on the big wedding. Right? these kids were gonna get married to make everything right . . sometime, maybe soon? . . .

Car_Ramrod: What's the point?

The point is that there's a huge segment of the American population that thinks Sarah Palin is the greatest politician of our generation, and these people should be mocked mercilessly to prevent her or anyone like her from ever getting into a position of power again.

I just love morons like you. Why are you so mad at Bristol Palin? Are you 12? She got pregnant. OH MY GOD!!! HOW DARE SHE!!! People her age and younger have been having sex and even getting pregnant now and then for ages.

There is a big difference between her and many teen pregnancies though. She has a good support unit and is likely not going to be living off of welfare. Why don't you say thank you instead of being a c*ckstain just to be a c*ckstain?

She should give them a photo of some random baby, then give their money to charity.

is there some sort of "Leave Bristol alone" video I haven't seen yet?
