If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Lee said he planned the protest because Discovery's programming had little to do with saving the planet.
Why should it ? It's a documentary channel, not an eco-mentalist organisation. Sure some of its programmes are environmentally based, but that isn't teh bee all and end off of their work.

A man called James Lee of San Diego, California was arrested outside Discovery's headquarters in 2008 after throwing thousands of dollars into the air in protest against the network, according to The Gazette, a local newspaper.


I'd say quite a few people rushed to help him 'recycle' them too :D

That was my first thought as well...

Then, when I read about what the gunman wanted broadcast (that humanity is filth etc.), I thought of Bratty... :?

Discovery should be about telling the truth regardless of the topic. If the topic is not green enough there is no need to throw a wobbly. What ever happened to writing in and pointing out any inaccuracies in the program? :roll:

If you do that you end up with Anne Robinson winking at you in a provocative way. It's a risk not worth taking. ;) :lol:

I cant see that happening here. We do not get that upset about a program. We might still write a letter to points of view or the duty desk at the station, but not much more. We still have the off switch to act as a safety net.
