This addresses something else that pisses me off to no end. Back not too long ago you could watch a documentary and feel educated... even- dare I say it,
enlightened. But when a nature documentary is turned into a voiced over "reality" tv show [i.e. Merecat Mannor] or a self indulgant run-on-and-on-and-on about the host/narrator of that show then it ceases to be anything of value.
Steve Irwin's wife and kid need to get off his grave and get real work! Irwin was an animal antagonizing retard who got what he deserved. Better still, he didn't even get the dignity of being killed by a really dangerous animal, rather he was
evoluiontarily selected against by one of the least aggressive species possible. It says that Irwin's approach to wildlife is an abject failure and in fact counterproductive.
The only good good documentaries still being played are narrated by Sir David Attinborough and he's old enough now that retirement is right around the corner.
And no more "documentaries" about blowing shit up for no constructive reason!
