The only way I'd stop watching it! It's like the aftermath of a bloody car wreck or those pictures on rotten.com:  Horrifying, disgusting, and demoralizing...but alluring all the same!
8-P

Since they fired Eric Burns and hired Karl Rove, I think it really is time for them to go.  Who knows?  If their ratings continue to drop and the temper of the country commences a great backlash against the Right, perhaps the free market will sort it out.

I also agree with the person who said MTV's gotta go.

Okay now what I don't get is you pay for cable right? How come they are allowed to get away with paid programming (infomercials) ? The channels you pay for should not be allowed to have paid programming, they should broadcast 24/7. I agree with Peter Finch from Network, just go to the window and shout "I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore". Then toss your TV out the window.
Also going to the movies how come you pay to see a movie and have to sit through commercials? Bring back cartoons and shorts before the film.
