If you're one of the 23 people in America who subscribe to Caribou Barbie's internet TV channel, then you'll already have been exposed to its thrift-store aesthetic: the cardboard sets, the shot-on-an-old-VHS camera-we-got-for-10 bucks-on-eBay look, the booming, echoing audio that makes it sound like it was shot in a deserted airport bathroom and the cheesy props (moose-head handled ice-bucket, anyone?).
So far, the primary function of her 'channel' is to confirm that Palin speaks in tongues as a matter of course:
Now The Tundra Grifter, her antennae ever sensitive to rumblings in the zeitgeist, has picked up on this Ice Bucket Challenge thing also, too. So she does a 'comic' turn, pouring Dr Pepper over ice and calling that her Ice Bucket Challenge. Har-Har. She then goes on to 'challenge' Hilary Clinton and, more interestingly, John McCain.
Obviously, Palin has calculated that having a bucket of ice-water tipped over him will prove fatal to the frail and elderly McCain, thereby preventing the doddering old charlatan from ever confessing that selecting Palin for the VP slot was the worst fucking decision he ever made in a lifetime of making bad decisions and then committing seppuku on live TV...which would be right and proper.
And then...hahaha...you won't believe this: someone throws a bucket of ice-water over Palin! The screech she emits must have sterilized every male in a hundred yard radius.
This is comedy, Palin-style. Mel Brooks can rest easy. Oh, and if Dr Pepper have any sense, they'll send a cease-and-desist letter to Palin, before she ruins their brand completely.
