Speaking of discrimination, apparently now that the war is over, all the "inquisitive" men who are the backbone of The History Channel's viewership have returned, according to this article. And can you stand the banner ad on top? Men get it. Get what? All the Hitler programming you can stand? I know that the demo skews male, but why say "fuck you" to every woman who does "get" history. Oh yeah, wait a minute. That's what dim-witted, insensitive, misogynistic men do. So odd given that, for many years, the network's GM was a woman. So this now officially marks my boycott of The History Channel. I know - big deal, but it makes me feel better. Where's NOW when you really need 'em?
In the interest of full disclosure (you know by now I'm all about that), I was laid off by THC's parent company, A&E Television Networks, nine months ago so it could be argued that I'm a disgruntled former employee. Former, yes. Disgruntled, naaahh. But it wasn't until I saw that insulting banner ad a few months ago that I was finally able to be thankful that I had been laid off.
