        Nah, not chickened out, they’re in cahoots. Example … 40 mil for a shitty Melania documentary is outrageous. For reference, BBC’s planet earth cost 25 million. So… yeah…

          Who the actual fuck cares about Melania? I get watching a documentary on Chris Chan cause at least that’s largely a self contained train wreck, but the fuck has Melania ever done that’s even passingly notable?

          By the Allfather I can’t even fathom the fucking vanity of these pissants.

            Eh, it’s mostly about the bribe, I’m sure. Having people pretend to be interested in her is just a bonus.

              Probably mostly the bribe, but for them to settle on a fucking documentary is just alien to me. Like it’s just asking for folks to take a find toothed comb through her shit, the concept alone makes me want to climb into a hole and further blend into the paint. But I am admittedly coming from a background that utterly encourages being unnoticed except to those you like, good way to not be shot.

                Easy to produce, spend the bare minimum, “spend” the rest on “marketing” and voilà, ez 38 mil in Melania’s pockets. Nobody said anything about the documentary being thorough or factual or anything of the sort, you’re thinking of the alternate reality where truth is a thing and Gwyneth Paltrow and other cunts aren’t allowed to peddle their bullshit
