Was lounging around over the weekend, and came across the Discovery Channel's show "Moon Shiners."... anybody see this crazy show? Crazy stuff!

It's kind of kewl
Ed will be known as the Tiger Woods of the integration business, followed closely with the renaming of his company to "Hotties A/V". The tag line will be "We like big racks and tight holes"...

Apparently the Commonwealth of Virgina is not so impressed:

The whole show looks staged. I watched 2 episodes and it reminded me of another "reality" show about a tow truck driver. [Link: trutv.com]

Pretty funny show. My best episode is when Tickle the drunk tries to jump in the back of the truck off of the shine pots and he face plants into the side of the truck.

I agree that it looks staged! For one, that popcorn guy wouldn't go on camera if he were one of the "old timers". Two, Terry (or whatever the main guys name is) wouldn't go on the show if he was on the fire department. Each season would have to follow a new shiner otherwise that probably wouldn't work for future seasons. Plus the ATF agents never seen to arrest anyone. They always "pull off" to do more recon.

With all that being said, I love it!

I love this show, Except it is staged.

What they are showing is illegal and the US government/Virgina could sopena discovery for the locations and names of the "moonshiners"

I like how the "main moonshiner" is the fire chief and wants to take the profits from the illegal moonshining and go legit. All this fake reality tv is annoying. I half like this show and Storage Hunters but the fakeness is making it hard to watch.

It's sort of entertaining none the less. Love that "Popcorn" guy ha ha

I watched the first episode. Afterwards I just felt a little dumber.

They really need to include warning at the begining of these shows, "Warning! This reality show is not real, and may cause your IQ to go down just by watching it."

Traveling south from Winston-Salem, NC on old Hwy 311 you will pass through "Horneytown, NC" and in a few miles you will reach "High Point, NC" and several miles later turn left on Hwy 62 you will reach "Climax, NC".

Check mapquest if you don't believe me.

Don't forget about Intercourse, PA which is right down the street from Paradise, PA.
