Someone has taken hostages at the Discovery Channel headquarters. http://www.businessinsider.com/discovery-channel-hostage-taker-demands-2010-9 I think he's demanding they make it Shark Month, instead of week.
This guy needs to go back to the Insane Asylum. Stopping human birth and the disestablisment of modern society are NEVER going to happen. We are and will forever be capitalist pigs fucking like rabbits on ecstasy.
buahahaha. Seriously? Nothing like a telepathic ape from outerspace lecturing a mary-sue about environmentalism. Seriously, the book was shit. Anyway, i guess the guy is dead now. I'm glad no one else was hurt.
I agree that the quality of scientific shows has declined considerably, but going on a killing spree for that reason? I dunno, seems a little extreme....
What the guy stated is basically with merit and correct, but his methods were a bit drastic. Got his message acrost on national TV though. The shit that TLC and Discovery has been putting out has been crap until I stumbled on a new show called Dual Survival. Ex millitary and polar oposite hippie guys doing the survive thing like bear grils. But these guys are a team and alot more down to earth.
Seriously. I read it a lot closer to when it came out in 1992 than now. I was really into the Socratic method of debate back then, which is what this book uses for the conversations between the narrator and Ishmael. (I can't even remember the narrator's name it was so long ago). I don't remember the gorilla ever being from outer space. Maybe we didn't get the same thing out of it but for me I read it before I fully understood how we came to dominate every food source on the earth through the agricultural revolution. It was before I had access to books like Guns, Germs and Steel. Seriously, I liked it. Edit: The book this guys was referring to isn't even the same one we are talking about. His demands were about "My Ishmael", another book by Quinn. I've never read that one.
