Seriously GEM$NBC can't do better than a Lock up Marathon

[malaise]

on Thanksgiving Day? :puke:

1. I can't stand lockup. What we should be concern with is why so many people are locked up that need

mental health services.

[goclark]

3. Prisons are the new "Money Makers" for the Bush Crooks

This way they don't have to pay for advertisements and delight the bigots when they see so many locked away.

They have created entire cities on prisions.

Follow the Money.

4. May money is a clue to why we want to charge so many kids as adults

6. If that were true, then taxpayers would be wanting to send more money to the prison industry for the

sake of it, wouldn't it?

[dem629]

2. NBC president said they run it so people will "realize they should be thankful for their freedom."

And that is a direct quote that I just made up.

5. "I'm fixin' to keel this bitch"

Please tell me someone else heard him say that just now rofl

8. I switched off ages ago

:D

7. The channel is unwatchable when they go into prison mode. nt

10. agreed but I know people who are greatly entertained by cops/prison reality shows.

:shrug:

12. I hate it with a passion

What do their ratings look like, there must be a reason $$ they keep it going full blast.

9. Sci fi channel = Mork and Mindy marathon

Nothing says Science Fiction like Mork & Mindy. :eyes:

[Lifetimedem]

11. You would think huh?

They lose me on week-ends !

This is just cheap programing that diminishes their credibility as a serious news network.

This junk is ok for overnight programing , but PLEASE spare me the prisoners on Thanksgiving

13. It's festive! They do it during Christmas too. "Look kids, the inmate is being extracted...

from his cell! Who wants more eggnog?"
