It's okay because the President doesn't believe in the Discovery Channel

I read the Express every morning on my way into work. The Express is a daily newspaper printed by the Washington Post and distributed for free at Metro stations and other commuter hubs. While they do have the occasional article espousing woo (recommending a spa that offers footbath aqua detox? Please.), the paper is chock full of snarky, skeptical jabs at stupidity. It's really quite refreshing to see a short feature about Amy Winehouse's alleged cocaine use with the headline, "Amy Discovers Way to Materialize Talent, Smoke It".

This morning, I came across a half page ad that clearly cost a lot of money. It calls for a 12 hour a day/9 day protest of that killer of Earth, the Discovery Channel. Yep, it appears that the Discovery Channel is responsible for this planet's environmental woes.

"The Discovery Channel has many so-called "Environmental Programs" that are supposedly there to save the planet. The strange thing is that things are getting WORSE! Their programs are not working to save the planet. If something is not working, then it must be changed. If their programs were working, then we should see the planet improving when we watch the news or read the newspapers. It's not. . . . If there is ANY network whose responsibility is to save the planet, it's the Discovery Channel's."

Yeah, so suck on that Bravo! Let a real network save the planet.

If you'd care to see the guy's website, it's here. I like that in the description of the protest, he apologizes for its length.

In the meantime, we'd better put out an APB for these traitors to humanity and the planet we call Earth.
