Infidel Guy on Wife Swap

[FormerFundy]

I understand that the Infidel Guy (Reginald Finley) and his family were recently on the ABC show--Wife Swap. It hasn't aired yet but should soon.
http://www.infidelguy.com/wifeswap_status.html

Should be interesting. I was wondering who from TWEB might be good candidates for this show? Perhaps Dee Dee and Lake George Man's families could make a swap? I am sure there are some other good combinations out there. Any suggestions?

[Piebald]

Woah!! Thanks for the head's up!!

[Amazing Rando]

So when's it gonna be on? I think he ought to swap wives with a Christian family, see what happens.

[Rubia Warren]

Oh! I love Wife Swap!

[FrankWalton]

Well, as you all know Reginald Finley embarassed himself on that show. I'm glad it was aired: http://atheismsucks.blogspot.com/2005/11/reginald-finley-on-wife-swap.html

[Sparko]

I missed it. but I am gonna use bittorrent to download it. Gotta see this.

[Rubia Warren]

Aw man! I waited for like EVER to see that episode and for a long time they didn't even air any wife swaps at all. :shifty:

[anthrogirl]

I love Wife Swap. It's the only show for which I know the day and time it airs. I saw the one with Infidel Guy last night--it was moderately entertaining. He was soooooo whiney! Big 'ole crybaby--seriously! Both of the wives seemed like really nice ladies. I'm glad that Infidel Guy's wife learned to take more time for her kids.

Did any of you see the one with the crazy God-warrior lady from the deep south who switched with a New Age family? It was a two-part episode. Deliciously gratuitous. Made me proud to be an American.

Holy cow, I only saw the commercials. That episode would be ended if she started screaming at me like that.

I saw clips of her on...Inside Edition, I think, and she was with her normal husband acting like a normal person...she even went on the Tonight Show where Jay Leno gave her a bobble-head doll of herself. She didn't spaz out because of that, either, I was disappointed.

IMO a much better summary/analyses of the show.

[Sheepdog]

i noticed that post by Buckster. i think i overestimates the Christian influence on ABC (i could have sworn ABC was owned by the same conglomerates who own Walt Disney, which at times is quite secular humanist). but otherwise, i suspect he was right on about them editting to make it more dramatic. heck, even more innocuous and "objective" documentaries gain some backspin from the editors... i recall one about a Eskimo family which was portrayed as being a "nuclear" family... they were polygamous, and the role of one of the wives was downplayed.

agI caught the end of that episode. When I was watching it, I thought it was a parody, not a "real" reality show. But quickly I came to realize that the mother was either a narcassist or just grand standing for attention. I've witnessed that behavior first hand.

She took the money in the end, even though she said she wouldn't. She wasn't a hypocrite, just a jerk. And very very obese. Probably most of the reason she is a jerk.

OK I watched it...

I don't understand his (infidel guys) whining about how atheist's like him are treated. He kept saying how awful he is treated just because he is an atheist. But what does he expect, being that his whole life is not just "not beleiving" but being an Atheist ACTIVIST who is actively attacking religion and God, complete with propaganda and an internet radio show and he even earns his income by bashing Christians and other religions.

He can dish it out but can't take it?????

It's OK for him to attack us but when someone questions his stance or defending their religion he acts like a victim!!!

:crybaby:


For my own part, I have no problem treating atheists with respect if they treat me the same way. I don't go around attacking them for no reason, but if I see a militant Atheist bashing God, I will defend my beliefs.

The wife he got traded did nothing more than that. He constantly attacked her, saying once that "a real christian would have come right out and said her husband was a pastor" when she skirted the issue by saying her husband worked in the community. She was a bit wary after walking into the house and seeing atheist propoganda (posters, mouse pads, etc) all over the house.

When it was her turn to run the house, she took over his radio show!! she called it the bible gal show, and was debating him on the air. He got all defensive again, but I heard him attacking the bible, so again, he can dish it out but not take it.


Now the wife swap episode I want to see is Lazy Agnostic and Dee Dee Warren households. :hehe:

[jesusfreak]

Im not shure if it is true or anything but my friend said there is no such athiest because being an athiest is agnolaging that there is God and they beilve there is no God.

[BeHereNow]

I tried downloading the episode on bittorrent today, but accidentally downloaded his radio broadcast concerning the episode. I decided to listen to it, even though I hadn't seen the show yet, and it really sounds like he and his wife got a raw deal. There was a lot of editing chicanery that took place, presumably to cast the two atheists as the bad ones.

For example, there was only one camera present in each house, but somehow they were able to cut back in forth between two participants during a conversation to see their "reactions". That's impossible with only one camera. He said some of his reactions he clearly remembers being at totally different times, and being much different (more dramatic) than his real reactions.

He talked about the crying part, and said they made that look like it was for different reasons than it was and didn't show the actual footage that led up to it. He also claims his wife was portrayed as an agoraphobe, afraid to ever go outside, and addicted to the Sims video game, all of which she adamantly insists are not true and were simply edited in to make the show more dramatic.

A final misrepresentation was how (again, according to Reggie and Amber) they made Amber look really anti-God, when she really isn't. She says the producers told her to say definitively "There is no god", which she refused to do.

Anyway, I hope I can find the episode. It won't surprise me if they indeed did cast the two atheists as villians, considering the audience, but I'd still like to see it.

[Ryokan]

Someone is always cast as a villain in these shows. That's why the contestants get paid.

[anthrogirl]

BHN--you bring up a great point. Shows like this are completely edited to acheive the highest entertainment value--you know, ratings. It's so obvious on Wife Swap--and that's part of the hilarity of it.

...but seriously, if you are gonna download one episode of wife wap, it should be the one with the raging God-Warrior woman. You'd die. It's great. I promise.

LA almost made it that far, but he apologized directly to me for the offense.

I don't think I would even bother trying to download the Infidel Guy one. Atheist whiners are the worst.

A friend sent me a link to the last part of that double ep:

As soon as he resends it I will for it for the edification of our Theistic Brethren.

I have never ever ever seen anyone go off like that. I liked the end credits explaining what happened to the money she was "refusing to take".

You know we have some really Good Anthro dept's here in Australia. I am sure you could get a great job. :teeth:

Do a search for wife swap. You need a program to use bit torrent to download. I use Bitlord (google for it).

[BeHereNow]

Anthrogirl, actually I did watch the episode of the crazy Christian woman. I found it while searching for the Infidel guy episode. Although, the name of her show is "Trading Spouses", whereas Wife Swap is what Infidel Guy was on.

I'm telling you that episode (the two-part show, actually) is one of the most hysterical things I've ever seen. That woman is absolutely out of her mind! She kept saying things I didn't even understand, like "dark sided". I don't wanna be near anything dark-sided, like gargoyles and stars! WHAT THE FISH!?!?!? That doesn't even make sense!

And the end, where she called herself a GOD-WARRIOR!!!!!!!!! :rofl: :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

It was sensory overload. So freakin funny.

The Infidel Guy episode was actually a little boring. There just wasn't enough conflict to make it fun. However, I thought the opening lines were outrageous. Kelly is a devoted wife, dedicated to running her familiy with the principles of the Bible, and Pastor Jeff "TALKS TO GOD 100 TIMES A DAY." Okay, great. Then there's the atheist family. Amber is "an atheist who's scared of leaving the house and would rather play computer games than take care of her kids" (????) and Reggie "works 80 hours a week on his anti-God website". Holy cow. If they weren't pandering to a middle-America, pseudo-Christian audience, I don't know what they were doing. That's an incredible intro.

Even with that, the show didn't pack much oomph. Watching Reggie cry was a little too much for me. I hate to see grown men cry, but especially when they paint themselves as some kind of bad boy "infidel".

One could argue that the God Warrior episodes panders to lefty atheistic commies.

Yeah, because that's such a huge demographic.

[Darth Executor]

Yeah, because that's such a huge demographic.

You'd be surprised.

[BeHereNow]

You'd be surprised.

I would? What knowledge do you have? Stats, etc.? AFAIK, the atheist population in the US is about 15%, and the population of COMMIE atheists is even smaller. Also, the show doesn't really appeal to atheists, either, since the other family focuses a lot on silly things like tarot cards and divining rods.

But really, did you see the episode in question? I was certainly observant of editing tricks, but some things simply can't be edited in. When the woman flips out and starts screaming at the top of her lungs that gargoyles are dark sided and having a non-Christian in her home put her entire family at risk, you must simply accept the fact that she's really like that.

Again, did you see the episode? If not, I highly recommend it.

15%? I highly doubt it's anywhere near that high. As a side note, the atheist commies comment was not literal. There are many commies Christians who enjoy laughing at fundies as well.

Also, the show doesn't really appeal to atheists, either, since the other family focuses a lot on silly things like tarot cards and divining rods.

Precisely. They get to laugh at both religious nuts.

Actually, no, I didn't see either of them (although I did start dloading the finley one). My point is that I doubt the shows had a demographic in mind. If they wanted to demonize atheists, they would have picked somebody who actually needed to be made stupid as opposed to the infidel guy who nobody but other fundy atheists takes seriously.

[anthrogirl]

BHN,

You are still my favorite! You've come up with some really funny stuff in the last 24 hrs--Korea must be good for your funnybone!

Anyway, you're right--it was Trading Spouses, not Wife Swap. I have known many Christians who think that anything non-western or more specifically, non-western and Christian is "dark-sided". Once, I took my mother to a store that sold gifts from around the world--and she had to leave because the statues and figurines made her feel like Satan was shopping with us (btw, Satan is an accomplished bargain-shopper--a good guy to have with you in the mall during this festive season!). I've known an unusual number of Christians who feel genuinely threatened, uneasy, or downright afraid around little Buddha or Krishna statues. In fact, when I was younger, I was cautioned against learning to read and write Japanese Kanji, because it might open my mind to "Eastern ideas".

I have my doubts, as well, but I'm just going by what Wikipedia tells me:

Actually, no, I didn't see either of them (although I did start dloading the finley one). My point is that I doubt the shows had a demographic in mind. If they wanted to demonize atheists, they would have picked somebody who actually needed to be made stupid as opposed to the infidel guy who nobody but other fundy atheists takes seriously.

Well that's a silly point. Most viewers probably have never heard of Reggie Finley before. When you finish d/ling the show, just watch how they demonize the atheists, and cast the Christians in a fairly positive light. Just listen to sentence constructions and the presence or absense of certain modifying words.

You say you doubt the show had a demographic in mind. This statement contradicts everything we know about TV programming. EVERY show has a demographic in mind. Why do you think you see a million cleaning product commercials during a soap opera, crappy lawyer and distance learning ads during Jerry Springer, mountain dew and fast food commercials on MTV, etc.? It's all very targeted.

With the crazy God-warrior woman, I'm sure they edited stuff to make her look crazier than she is, but dang man... download it! Just search torrentspy.com for "trading spouses". It's the only thing that will come up. I'm seeding it right now actually.

From what I heard, the woman sounds like a fundy as well. I went to her site and she seems to be like a slightly smarter, Christian version of finley. Oh well, I guess I'll finish dloading it tomorrow and watch it.

Wife swap is a reality show on network tv where the wives of two families trade places for two weeks to live in each other's shoes (nothing sexual)

Trading Spouses is a similar show on another network.

Infidel Guy might have posted on TWEB a few times long ago, but his "fame" is that he runs the counterpart to theologyweb, but instead of being a Christian owned site, it is an Atheist owned site. Anti-Theologyweb if you will. But he does have religious and non-religious members, just like we do. He also has an internet radio show.

[Darth Executor]

I went through one thread on the Infidel Guy's site where they were engaging the giving out of personal information (IE: an opponent's address), including Mr. Finley. I really doubt it qualifies for Tweb's counterpart considering the fact that the owners there are scum.

[Rubia Warren]

Trading Spouses is great- it's much more scandalous and drama queening than Wife Swap. However, I do like them both.

Some of my favorite from Trading Spouses have been the alligator hunter lady from Lousiana who switches places with a vegan from California. They both had wacky lives, if you ask me, but the vegan lady cracked me up when she invited the whole town over for a movie on how chickens are slaughtered and stuff, gave them a lecture on how unhealthy their meat-eating lifestyles were, but in a later clip it shows her lighting up a cigarette, sneakin a smoke. :doh: And then she actually ate a piece of fried alligator, and later when her kids and husband saw the clip of her doing that, they were stunned, as if she had just committed the ultimate betrayal or something. You'd have thought, by the reaction in her husband, that she committed adultery or something, like he couldn't trust her anymore. He practically fell apart, getting all emotional and stuff.

Then there was this super neat freak lady who had everything in her house absolutely compulsively perfect, who drank from a straw in order to not stain her bleached white teeth, trades with a total slob who has like, 23 animals running around her house- all different kinds and apparently it stunk. :lol: She got rid of some of the lady's animals temporarily and cleaned her house and the lady acted like she committed the unforgivable sin. :lol: I'm pretty sure that one was Trading Spouses, anyway. :huh:
Gotta love those shows. :yes:

roober,

I saw the episode with the alligator lady and the vegan lady--it was extremely awesome. The vegan was the epitome of So. Cal vegan-yuppie-zoinked-out-on-Xanex-hyperemotional-hypocrite!

My laptop is supposed to be able to do something like that. I haven't gotten around to trying it 'specially since I basically only want to record Geico commercials. I am about to just call Geico and see if they are available. Don't see why an advertiser wouldn't want their ads to be copied.

I still have not listened to Pastor Cook's show on the wife swap thing.

Geico commercials? What for?

roober,

I saw the episode with the alligator lady and the vegan lady--it was extremely awesome. The vegan was the epitome of So. Cal vegan-yuppie-zoinked-out-on-Xanex-hyperemotional-hypocrite!

sigh.

I just love it, that's all.

Nah, both of those families were a bunch of weirdos. The people from Louisiana were just more polite and reserved about it. But they were still a bunch of freaks down there, too.
Who gives people alligator skulls as a gift??? Hey! Nice to meet ya! Here! Have some dried up alligator bones, why don'tcha? Oh yeah, they'll really love this gift. :uhoh:

I love it. LOVE IT! I walk away each and every time so glad to live in this place- freaks and all. We're just a big huge wacky country, aren't we? :lol: Wouldn't have it any other way.
