TMI Show Ep 168: “Worst Earthlings to Marry”

Nothing anyone does or says on “The TMI Show with Ted Rall and Manila Chan” will be as tacky as Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s lavish wedding in Venice, Italy! Private jets are swarming Marco Polo Airport as gauche 21st century A-listers like Kim Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey, and Ivanka Trump touch down for the festivities as Gazans starve to death and the corpses of thousands of infants rot under the sun just a hop and a jump away. Kim’s $65M Gulfstream G650, Oprah’s sleek G700, and jets owned by moguls like James Murdoch and Barry Diller are clogging the skies, with over 90 private planes expected at the over-the-top festivities funded by Amazon’s robber-baron model of underpaying and overworking its workers in un-air-conditioned warehouses.

Bezos’ own fleet, including two luxe jets, has been zipping around the Mediterranean, while his $500M superyacht Koru hosted an infantile foam-fueled pre-wedding party off Croatia. As the champagne and caviar flow, environmentalists are fuming over the carbon footprint of these elite joyrides, slamming the hypocrisy of celebs who talk green while pumping greenhouse gases into the skies. Ted and Manila unpack the glam, the guest list, and the growing backlash over this high-flying spectacle that’s fueling the move to ban tourists from Europe.
