so, call me sensitive but...

has anyone seen the new reality show on the discovery channel called "last one standing?" i'm having some issues with this program that maybe you can agree with.

so, the premise is that cameramen follow this collection of international modern-day gladiators, if you will, across the globe, where they visit the last remaining indigenous tribes in the world and then try to fight them. um, what? they coin this mission "full-contact culture," and yes, I watched it... and i was horrified.

not only have we brought syphilis and guns to the indians... now we bring them reality television. interesting.

the only great thing about this show is that these "civilized" douche bags get their asses kicked by tribesmen on a pretty much regular basis.

tune in thursdays 9pm if you want to feel guilty.

oh, discovery channel, how you do disappoint... if it weren't for planet earth and mythbusters, i'd erase you from my memory.
