What on earth? I'm having a hard time imagining what could inspire so much rage for the Discovery channel.

I hope no one is harmed... but does anyone else wonder if he is really just pissed about the last shark week offering?

I am fascinated in wondering why someone would target the Discovery Channel like this. Has his favorite show recently been canceled? Did he pitch a show and get (pardon) shot down? Was he highly offended by something? What could possibly be that offensive on the Discovery Channel? So intriguing...

Yeah, it's one of the real issues I have with many of the various videos that get posted these days of terrible things happening to folks. So many times the situation might have been averted had the ******* put down the camera and given a heads up to their buddy, etc.

That's always been one of those moral/ethical gray areas for me. Like folks filming various personal attacks, and such. Do people not realize they're at best doing nothing, and usually making the situation much worse?

Disgruntled employee? I dont see how locking yourself in a room is going to help, just makes you easy captive fodder. Get out.

Apparently these are his demands...

http://www.savetheplanetprotest.com

Quote:
The Discovery Channel MUST broadcast to the world their commitment to save the planet and to do the following IMMEDIATELY:

1. The Discovery Channel and it’s affiliate channels MUST have daily television programs at prime time slots based on Daniel Quinn’s “My Ishmael” pages 207-212 where solutions to save the planet would be done in the same way as the Industrial Revolution was done, by people building on each other’s inventive ideas. Focus must be given on how people can live WITHOUT giving birth to more filthy human children since those new additions continue pollution and are pollution. A game show format contest would be in order. Perhaps also forums of leading scientists who understand and agree with the Malthus-Darwin science and the problem of human overpopulation. Do both. Do all until something WORKS and the natural world starts improving and human civilization building STOPS and is reversed! MAKE IT INTERESTING SO PEOPLE WATCH AND APPLY SOLUTIONS!!!!

2. All programs on Discovery Health-TLC must stop encouraging the birth of any more parasitic human infants and the false heroics behind those actions. In those programs’ places, programs encouraging human sterilization and infertility must be pushed. All former pro-birth programs must now push in the direction of stopping human birth, not encouraging it.

3. All programs promoting War and the technology behind those must cease. There is no sense in advertising weapons of mass-destruction anymore. Instead, talk about ways to disassemble civilization and concentrate the message in finding SOLUTIONS to solving global military mechanized conflict. Again, solutions solutions instead of just repeating the same old wars with newer weapons. Also, keep out the fraudulent peace movements. They are liars and fakes and had no real intention of ending the wars. ALL OF THEM ARE FAKE! On one hand, they claim they want the wars to end, on the other, they are demanding the human population increase. World War II had 2 Billion humans and after that war, the people decided that tripling the population would assure peace. WTF??? STUPIDITY! MORE HUMANS EQUALS MORE WAR!

…For every human born, ACRES of wildlife forests must be turned into farmland in order to feed that new addition over the course of 60 to 100 YEARS of that new human’s lifespan! THIS IS AT THE EXPENSE OF THE FOREST CREATURES!!!! All human procreation and farming must cease!

So he wants to promote decreasing human population, but also wants to cease WMDs?

Something doesn't jive.

Can the decrease of the human population begin and end with him? Idiot.

Wow, that is one seriously crazy person.

I'm all for promoting the slowing and maybe even partial reversing of population growth, but this guy is certifiable.

What makes you think the plan went awry?

1) Do something so stupidly unexpected it is guaranteed to work? Check
2) Because it is so stupidly unexpected and worked, gets lots of press coverage for your otherwise fringe ideas? Check

This is a big important day for equality, finally, long over due, our Asian American brothers are stepping up to the "**** up crazy gun totting extremist club"

We would show you the handshake but I think you are a CIA plant... not an informant, but an actual biological plant grown in the CIA HQ to mimic people....no where is my tin foil hat.

As the more likely target of being lumped in with this nutjob, I should be the one giving the thanks. ;)

You're welcome and thank you as well.

Hehe. I suggest using this during moderatory actions to lighten the mood.
