Nuge is no stooge: Motor City Madman set to kick TV butt with his reality show
If you want salad, have a damn salad. If you don't want to carry a gun, I'll carry it for you. I love my fellow man. I just want to give them directions so they live longer and healthier.
- Ted Nugent
Wow, it really is true. ANY jackass can get their own Reality TV series. Could this be the final straw in the inexorable moral decline of Western Civilization? I'm afraid to ponder the question for too long, because, well...I might not like the answer.
The Motor City Madman went straight at TV critics yesterday who were attending the press launch of Surviving Nugent: The Ted Commandments, a bizarre new reality show featuring the rocker/gun advocate/conservationist.
The series, which tosses 11 city slickers onto Nugent's Texas ranch, will debut in April on the U.S. music channel VH1. We'll have to wait to see if any Canadian broadcaster has the balls to buy it.
What's the show about? "We like to refer to it as a spiritual erection -- write that down," said Nugent, who doesn't suffer fools -- or journalists -- lightly.
Yeah, right. Nugent, who FARK refers to as "Mother Teresa with a Glock", is a piece of work of the first order. He certainly is an original, though.
Nugent shared the stage with his busty wife, Shemane, and buddy Big Jim. He says for all his bluster, Shemane is the real boss in the family.
The couple have been married for 15 years. "I am p---- whipped," Nugent declared. "She is my Lord and Master."....
Oh yeah, the show. Nugent puts the 11 contestants to work on his farm shovelling manure and butchering cattle. It's a survivalists' boot camp with Nugent a one-man tribal council, and, at the end, some poor sucker wins a truck.
Hey, what the hell, right? If Ozzy Osbourne can become a hit by being his normal unintelligible, rambling, drug-addled self, why not Ted Nugent? I think I'll have to pass on the cattle butchering, though.
