I wonder what they did to him or didn't do. A friend of mine who runs a meerkat rescue center in California has a friend who is an Animal Planet producer and when she shared a story I wrote with her and heard that I was Autistic, she wanted to make a documentary about the bond Autistic people have with animals which would feature me. They would fly me out to the meerkat lady's place and then to Africa to see wild meerkats and meet with this meerkat biologist. Animal Planet refused to do it because they were working on Meerkat Manor and did not want two meerkat shows at the same time. I went into a depression and a part of my soul died. It took me a while to figure out who to be mad at, my friend for showing my story, the documentary lady for thinking it up, Animal Planet for refusing or all of them. I've finnaly decided that my friend and the animal planet lady aren't to blame they were just trying to do something nice for me. Animal Planet is just a selfish company and I hate them. Can't say I blame him. I would have just sent hate letters to Animal Planet Discovery and the only reason I didn't was because my mom insisted she check all of my ougoing letters for "spelling mistakes" but she really wanted to check for nastiness.

First and foremost, PunkyKat's flashing avatar is driving me NUTS!

It is my understanding that Discovery and TLC are part of the same company. Now, TLC airs both "A Baby Story" and "19 Kids and Counting". One of this guy's major complaints was that people were reproducing too much and killing the planet. So, I'm thinking he may have been taking his Duggar rage out on the good people at Discovery.

I personally cannot stand the Duggars either. The mother is so scary positive all the time it's scary. She NEVER looses her temper and is constantally smiling it's like she's' a Stepford wife.

Apparently the standoff is over and was only about 2-3 hrs long. The gunman was killed by police and the hostages are fine.

The man hated the Discovery Channel's environmental programming.

I must say this was the weirdest motive for a hostage taking I've ever heard of. 8O There are some cable channels I hate but not enough to go bezerk.


Apparently this man didn't know that plants keep people alive by taking carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen.

However, if you were to compare them to the Gosselins, the Duggars look practically sane and tolerable! :P
