The Hype about Alaska

Has anyone else noticed all these new TV shows about things in Alaska? They seem to be taking over the discovery channel.

Between Gold Rush, Ice Road Truckers, Deadliest Catch, Sarah Palin's Alaska and Flying Alaska, the state seems to be the most popular in the country. Not that they are at all bad shows, it just seems they are only based in Alaska. Is someone trying to tell us that Alaska is the shit? Or are the TV people just trying to say "Suck it you 49 other states?"

Alaska must have it all figured out. I don't see any other states where cruise ships go. Or any other states were people go on exotic adventure trips. Yes they have some amazing scenery, pretty cool wild life, and some crazy shit that goes on up there, but really Hawaii is getting offended because it used to be the shit.


Bear walking on Ice





How often do you get to see a bear walking around on frozen lakes with goregous scenery in the background? Never...unless you live in Alaska, in which case this happens everyday.

I feel that Alaskan's think that since they are so far up north and not connected with the rest of the country, they can do whatever crazy stuff they want. Because of this Alaskan mentallity people go up there and make TV shows out of them. Lets be honest, who doesn't love watching crazy people take unnessicary risks and live. Thats why there are so many TV Shows about what goes on up there.

I personally would love to visit Alaska and do all kinds of cool shit up there.

You can even see Russia from Alaska (only if your in Sarah Palin's backyard though)
