The History Channel is determined to show straight shit this whole weekend.

[LostInAnomie]

Da Vinci Code shit, Knight of the Templar crap, Angels and Devils steaming piles, The Anti-Christ diarrhea, etc. How the fuck is this shit even loosely considered History? It's fucking idiotic.

1. The lowest common denominator is what sells.

Although some of that sounds interesting, I wouldn't go to the History Channel to learn about it.

Notice, too, that there's no Howard Zinn Channel ;)

2. No cryptozoology? 2012? Hitler? Mayan prophecies that prove Hitler was a surviving plesiosaur?

They're off their game.

3. Dan Brown has a new book.

It's called corporate synergy. And it does suck. Although those programs are occasionally educational.

4. What happened to the UFO shows?

I'm beginning to think they are playing fast and loose with historical facts.

5. What do you mean by "straight shit"?

:shrug:

[LostInAnomie]

7. LOL! Shitty programming directly followed by even more shitty programming.

I doubt stupid shows about stupid conspiracy theories and Christian mythology have much to do with sexual orientation.

8. Gotcha.

Makes sense now. I didn't think you meant it in a sexual orientation way, rather "straight" in a conventional way. Thought you wanted something more thought-provking.

6. I can't watch the History Channel any more, it's all woo-woo.

9. Try National Geographic -

8 pm is Secrets of the Egyptian Afterlife and 9 pm is something about the hurry-up burial that Tutankhamon was given.

10. well, at least it's a break from Hitler, no? (n/t)

[LostInAnomie]

11. They don't even show much Hitler anymore.

Mostly it's stupid conspiracy theory shit, ancient aliens, crypto-zoology, and a ton of other crap that doesn't even come close to qualifying as History.

12. for us it is fantasy, for Fuyndies, it is history!

true, real history that the liberal media never shows
