Bullshit TV Show Alert: ABC showing "Homeland Security"
it looks kinda like Cops but with government agencies (Border Patrol, TSA.....) and trying to show them as heroic.

Gee, the real purpose of this show couldnt be to get citizens accustomed to seeing Federales with automatic rifles so that when they come to our door, or street corner, or coffee shop, or city street, or ________ we wont freak out and instead comply with their demands, now could it?

1. Just catapulting the propaganda...
When I started to see the ads for this show, it made me sick. ABC cancels shows like "Pushing Daisies" and "Boston Legal" and starts this jingoistic crap...

2. More bullshit TV alert
That commercial that just ran on the Olbermann show. If you saw it, you're probably as pissed off as I am. I will not elaborate further, to keep this thread from being censored.

5. One murder makes a villain, millions a hero. Making murderers heroes, the new
teevee programming trend.

6. You think that's bad
ABC has this show called the Bachelor where they find TRUE LOVE on Teeveee. In front of MILLIONS and it's TRUE LOVE. But first they get to date a half dozen hotties. ALL EXENSES PAID~!

Why can't I do that? Oh wait I'm already married. Nevermind.
