Her Majesty Dogmad Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 OMG! What a tool. She needs counselling. Can't stand her, I always thought her a waste of space and this has all confirmed my thoughts ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*kirty* Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I agree with all of your posts and I can't stand her or the show. But I would still rather they have puppies from a reputable source rather than plug some pet shop puppies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I just hope the whole idea is thrown out. She should not be around animals of any sort. I don't even know her name LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Maeby Fünke Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) I've never seen the show but the ads look bad enough. I would try to talk your friend out of the whole idea. Edited May 6, 2013 by Maeby Fünke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerRottweiler Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 The best we can do is try to influence the show in a positive manner as opposed to calling it awful and calling the host an idiot etc. You guys really need to come to terms with the fact that not everyone is well educated in the context of pets and yes, people do exist outside our little DOL bubble. Maybe Lorem can have a positive influence by facilitating the provision of 'a basket of puppies'. Best of luck with the idea, it has great potential if run well. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck with the idea, it has great potential if run well. :) I wasn't criticising the show, or the host, *because* of the 'basket of puppies' idea... The show seems bad enough in its own right and the host has a reputation for making irresponsible comments. And I think it's perfectly normal and valid for DOLers to have a strong reaction to the idea... I'm a bit surprised by your reply, to be honest; you sound a bit naive. The producers, including Lorem's friend, know exactly what they're doing. And if she was my friend, I would be completely honest with her about how stupid and irresponsible an idea it is That is the first time I have ever used a mad face on DOL. It is fine to have a strong reaction to the idea, but it is another thing to venture off on a tangent about how bad the show is or how bad the host is etc. If you are unhappy about something, the best you can do is to try and influence it in a positive manner in the hope of rectifying the wrongs that you appear to have observed. Lorem and her friend are potentially that very influence. Please note, that my comment was not aimed at yourself specifically, I was making a general comment about the omnipresent DOL bubble. You seem to have taken it personally, please don't. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Maeby Fünke Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) Sorry DR, I have edited my posts because I don't think I have expressed myself very well. Yes, I agree... I think it was a very good, positive and sensible thing that Lorem approached the DOL brain's trust about her friend's idea :D eta Looking back, I'm not sure why I responded the way I did... The 'basket of puppies' idea must must have been an emotional hook for me. Edited May 6, 2013 by Maeby Fünke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is naive IMO is thinking that this show will have any positive impact on how their audience views the puppy trade going on past performance and the personality of the host.

Particularly the point made about the DOL bubble. The reality is that the show is a representation of public opinion. Why not take an opportunity to influence that opinion? I hope a rescue or breeder grabs the opportunity and that the producer works a way in for some subtle promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope a rescue or breeder grabs the opportunity and that the producer works a way in for some subtle promotion. Let me stress that I am not bagging Lorem in the slightest; on the contrary, I am very glad this issue has been raised. However, I am stating very strongly that I think the idea stinks LOL and I think the above posts are the naive ones :). Of course, I understand what you are saying, but the thing is to try to influence or educate you have to pick your arena. A show which cares only for ratings and has a presenter who doesn't seem to have much control over herself and just plays everything for laughs is not the place. Caveat: I am basing this on having seen but one short snippet of one show. But because I watch The Biggest Loser which is on before Can of Worms, I do see advertisements so there may have been a more considered approach to some issues, but going on some of the posts here from people who have seen more of it than it have, it doesn't seem so. The DOL Bubble?? I have stated before in regards to Rescue that some people think everything that is happening in Rescue is on DOL when nothing can be further from the truth. However, this forum has thousands of members, many of whom register and are never seen again. But there are many who read and never post. I don't think DOL is a bubble.

Loving my Oldies Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Another thread on this program seems to well and truly support my conclusions about the show and the presenter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
