Anyone old enough to remember when the Discovery Channel wasn't a crap channel?

That was back before TLC became all about irresponsible teen tramps and their bastard children... Now I can't tell it apart from MTV2

Following the mass shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, the cable network Discovery told Fox News that it has canceled its reality series American Guns. In October, Discovery aired a one-hour special called Ted Nugent's Gun Country starring NRA board member and Washington Times columnist Ted Nugent, despite his history of inflammatory rhetoric.

While Discovery has described Ted Nugent's Gun Country as a "one-hour special," Nugent claimed that Discovery "want to do it as a regular feature." Nugent has also said the show would help him advance his view in the "culture war."

The episode of Ted Nugent's Gun Country that aired in October showed Nugent shooting a scimitar-horned oryx, an animal extinct in the wild, and using a .50-caliber Browning armor-piercing machine gun to blow holes in a steel door used by a team of "preppers" to protect their armory.

UPDATE: After this post was published, Raw Story reported that Ted Nugent won't return to Discovery "in any form or fashion." A Discovery spokesperson told the outlet that while Ted Nugent's Gun Country didn't draw high ratings when it aired in October, the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, also played a role. The spokesperson also denied Nugent's claim that Discovery had been working on a Nugent series consisting of at least a dozen shows a year.

Discovery Channel kicks Ted Nugent to the curb | The Raw Story

I think every Hollywood director that directed a movie featuring gun violence as a major theme shouild be kicked out of Hollywood and never be allowed to make another movie.

How bout that?

I'll top that -- anyone old enough to remember when listening to Ted Nugent wasn't a complete waste of three minutes? (hint: Amboy Dukes)
