I mean, just shut the damn thing down for good, and never have it pollute America's glowboxes ever again??

I would pick the Disney Channel. I can't stand more than 5 seconds of that shit without putting the TV on mute. Surprisingly, I can last a minute or so watching it on mute without sound. The WORST kid actors and musicians in America. All of them hit the big-time because Mommy or Daddy is either rich or a celebrity (i.e. The star of one of the shows is Billy Ray Cyrus' daughter). And the producers of the shows seem to serve a nice heaping helping of home-cooked crack to each kid who appears on a show or promo (which is 100 percent of the time). They always sound like they're about to orgasm in front of America. On every single show, it's all fake, overdramatic acting with NO subtlety. This network thinks kids are idiots, and they treat them as such.

And where the FUCK do they originally come up with all the god-awful shit they transmit on that channel?? I thought that shit was lame when it came out around 17 years ago when I was 8. I was too busy watching TMNT and Garfield and Friends to care about anything made by a company who's most famous character I stopped liking when I was 4. I saw the Mickey Mouse ears on the channel's premiere, and I said, "Fuck this." 58 is the number of the devil to me, because it's that shitty channel number on my cable.

What about you??

(NOTE: I basically did this as an excuse to rant about something, thanx.:7)
