TLC

So, I'm going to say that I always liked TLC. As far as cable channels go, I feel like you got some bang for your buck. The shows were never overly sensational, and always had a feel-good vibe. But a text last night from my friend Kari got me wondering: is TLC actually a cover for freaky radicals? Or what?

She wrote: Sarah Palin has her own reality show starting on TLC. That station is now dead to me. And just when I was getting sucked into Sister Wives. Damn it!

First things first, I say that that channel should be dead to you. Yes. The combined forces of Sarah Palin and Kate Gosselin are not to be taken lightly. If we follow them, they'll soon have us all knocked up with "retard" babies, dumb as rocks, and totally unable to dance.

And then I started thinking about their line up. TLC has like 20 billion shows shows devoted to ridiculously excessive procreation. Either they are building a child army, or they believe that people should have children. Lots of them. TLC also has multiple shows about religious fundamentalists or traditionalists like the Mormon family and the Duggars.

Here's what Jezebel had to say. Very interesting and definitely worth our while to remember that everyone, even The Learning Channel, has an agenda.
