UPDATE ! I Scour the Internet: The Mardi Gras Edition 2/21/12

This just in!....

Well, OK, I just read this on Google news. Looks like there will be a season 4 of Sister Wives! Maybe....

Apparently, because of all the filming going on, parents of children attending the same elementary school as the Browns'  Kids are really upset.

So upset, in fact, they want the school district to change its filming policies. The school district is standing behind the Kody Film Krew, with a district rep noting that  "In the past few months, we've had the Ellen show, ABC News, Oxygen Network, and countless local broadcasts filmed at our schools. TLC and the Brown family deserved the same."

Somehow, I fail to see how a reality show featuring a balding klown who has 4 wives and 17 kids equates to ABC News, Oxygen Network and Ellen. I mean really...think about it. And what's so special about Las Vegas schools that they get all this high powered media attention from so many sources, anyway?

According to TMZ, even though an agreement was reached between the school administration and the production company to blur out faces and not divulge the name of the school, AND the production company even donated $500.00 to the cause (it was a fundraising Valentine's Day Dance), the parents still want changes made to policies pertaining to filming at the district schools.

Ummm...I wonder if these parents includes the homeowner(s) who tried to get an unnamed sister wife evicted from her house rental last year.

Anyway, on the 'good' news hand, this brouhaha means filming is still going forward. On the 'bad' news hand, you can take a look at a photo with Kody front and center (of course) at TMZ: http://www.tmz.com/2012/02/20/sister-wives-parents-upset-tv-crew-cameras/


So, what were the Browns up to this long holiday weekend?

Some of the Browns were very very busy this weekend. We even had someone report a sighting right here on SisterWivesBlog!

Let's take a look at some tweets:

So Robyn, how was your weekend?

So sorry to hear...wait a minute, this sounds vaguely familiar...oh yes, here's a tweet from 1/28/12

That's a heck of a long incubation period for that flu bug...almost a month? What's with these people - why do they get the flu bug and cold sores that refuse to go away? Or is she wanting sympathy?

Note to self: Maintain a safe distance from Robyn at all times...she is sickening.


Browns on the Road...Again

Yep, just when residents thought it was safe to venture into the fine, dry winter's air in Arizona, who blows into town but Kody Brown, dragging a sisterwife with him. When I last reported about the LIV Global Operation Detox on a global scale shindig in Mesa AZ - for Friday 2/17/12 , the craigslist advert just mentioned the Kody Brown Family would be in attendance.

Now we can confirm which wife he brought with him. It was....Janelle! Makes one wonder if her Super Bowl Party journey where she met ole Phil was just a warmup for her Mesa gig. However, I doubt if Mesa has anyone close to Phil's notoriety - I don't remember exactly where Alice Cooper lives, but I can definitely say it's not in Mesa. And Alice, if you're reading, I really enjoyed seeing your Big Unit at Alice Coopertown !(shameless plug).

Anyway...

Janelle sort of hints something's up with her tweet on the morning of 2/17/12. Kinda like she was going in front of a firing squad or something...

But, as I found out from our undercover friend Antoinette, she reports that the admin on the Brown's Extra Special Friend-Only Facebook Fanpage announced on 2/16/12 that the Kody and Janelle would be at a restaurant in Gilbert (?) Az, and that anyone who wanted to attend could email the Browns as the seats were limited. Oh yes, the Browns would be presenting a "short overview of a family business venture".

Wow, now that sounds like a lot of fun, doesn't it?

So Kody, did you and Janelle do anything (besides talking up the operation redux  'family business venture') while in the Valley of the Sun?

Oh yeah, those guys who were on YOUR show last season. I can smell the testosterone from here. So what did Janelle do while you were having ...fun?

Ha Ha! Just one of the regular folks huh? Watching the crowd getting psyched for blood! Reminds me of when I used to go to the Colosseum in ancient Rome. Yes, I am that old.

And as the sun slowly begins to set in the western sky, an Anonymous SWB commenter writes on 2/19/12:

Was Janelle in AZ today? I could have swore I saw her at Anthem outlet mall and my daughter says I am crazy!

Nope, you're not crazy. Looks like the Browns are driving their way back home to Vegas!

So far, we have one wife sick at home, one figuring out technology, and one still dripping with  testosterone from a mixed martial arts match. Where in the heck is Meri?

Meri went to Disneyland!!
That's right. When the going gets rough, Meri takes her 'girls' (including Aspyn, Madison, and Mariah) to one of the happiest places on Earth, DISNEYLAND! Yay!!

First, we see Meri planning for the trip by scanning  >choke<  Craigslist?!

Ummm.... no Meri. I don't think it's safe!

Finally  they're at Disneyland,. So is everyone enjoying themselves?

Looks like Meri is missing her man. Well Meri, I'm sure Kody would have been there if he didn't have to make an appearance for the family business venture. And if you believe that, I have some tickets to sell you for Disney World. I was going to put them on Craigslist....

And Rosie tweeted back! That really surprised me because that means Rosie is actually personally sending all those tweets?! How does she have time to enjoy herself? Oh well, I think Rosie must have an assistant walking next to her tweeting as Rosie dictates what to say...she can't possibly be doing all that tweeting!

Where was I? Oh yeah...

Well, it sounds like Meri had a lot of fun in Disneyland. But it must be drag not to have all your sisterwives with you, right Meri?

UPDATE 2/21/12

I just got a message from Antoinette La Taupe, still undercover at the Brown's Extra Special Friend-Only Facebook Fanpage. Janelle just left a message: Seems that Kody killed two birds with one stone on the Arizona road trip this weekend. Not only did he take care of 'family business', it was also his 19th anniversary with Janelle.  Kind of weird she put this on Facebook where only a select few can see it instead of twitter. Anyway, she thanked Christine for helping Gabe with his homework and Meri for taking 'the girls' to Disneyland. I guess Robyn helped in the snuggling because Janelle only wrote about Meri's and Christine's good deeds.

Maybe she'll update twitter later after her 'pancakes with butter  AND syrup' feast.


Well that's all for now. And remember, I Scour the Internet, so You Don't Have to!

Hope you had a great President's Day and Mardi Gras (where applicable)
