For only the second time, I recently did a post on the hunting show "The Bucks of Tecomate," where a hunter shot a buck in the knee (repeated twice in slow mo). <br /><br />I'm less concerned about the forced camraderie and the fist pumping, but just like you, I am very concerned about 1) What this says about "us" and 2) Who are we turning off to hunting and fishing by airing this nonsense?<br /><br />Great post!Kirk Mantayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06556560258304201823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972254401664966699.post-41017891536641643852010-09-28T11:40:11.715-05:002010-09-28T11:40:11.715-05:00I "Just say no".I "Just say no".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972254401664966699.post-6288485652646161872010-09-23T10:16:13.266-05:002010-09-23T10:16:13.266-05:00What really pisses me off is the watefowling shows...What really pisses me off is the watefowling shows don't even show any of the dog work, just an endless cascade of ducks falling from the sky and one obligatory shot of a(invariably) lab swimming back to the blind...<br /><br />But I can't bitch. I was all set to call the sat company on Tuesday and cancel when I saw the ad for a weekend-long 52-hour Top Gear marathon to kick off the new season.

And I decided to watch the Outdoor Channel and see what atrocity they were broadcasting. It's some NRA-sponsored show called "Incredible Shots," I think -- not too terrible. But their hunting programming is everything that you say it is. <br /><br />I too live outside the range of broadcast TV, so my only chance to see fifty channels of nothing is when I am traveling!Chas S.

The first one was a lame bowhunting show with the usual ads ever 5 seconds. The next bowhunting one opened with a montage of arrows hitting game that had been digitally altered to look like something on a heat sensor. Every hit produced a huge spray of digitally added fake blood. I was in disbelief at how tasteless it was. It was so sad to think that someone thought that was the point of hunting. Only someone brought up on violent video games would do such a thing.<br /><br />The narration announced the hunter as a former porn star. I had to ask my friend if I heard that right. I did and apparently it was the "hunter's" only qualification as he had no shooting skills. He missed several deer and they didn't show how many he wounded. Then he is shown taking a pi$$ off the tree stand. It was disgusting and it also looked like he was hitting his gear. He missed another shot and his excuse was the pi$$ had frozen to his bow and threw off his shot.<br /><br />I am not making this up! A foot in the TV would have been appropriate at that point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972254401664966699.post-11464409814825849262010-09-21T10:28:39.495-05:002010-09-21T10:28:39.495-05:00Modern life is ......................

As for this line: "Whether you like it or not, all media is basically an advertising vehicle and somebody’s gotta pay for its creation..." there used to be other options for paying for media.
