Discovery Channel has so much shit on it that I am very selective what I watch. It goes for public appeal and sacrifices true science for fiction and sensationalism, which I might add is their prerogative. Is there any chance that the last episode can be viewed elsewhere? That would really burn their butt. However, if they were partial financiers of the project, maybe they have the right to keep the last episode off the air. Anyone know?

In response to the BBC not airing all of the frozen planet.

I contacted Discovery and this was their response. At least for the U.S.

Dear Viewer:

Thank you for contacting Discovery Channel. We appreciate your
correspondence and for taking the time to share your thoughts and concerns
with us about Frozen Planet.

Frozen Planet will not be airing on Discovery Channel in the United States
until early next year and many programming and scheduling decisions have
yet to be made. We do know that the stories, messages and essence of all of
the BBC’s seven episodes will be represented throughout the truly landmark
series.

Again, thank you for contacting Discovery Channel.

Sincerely,

Viewer Relations
Discovery Channel

The link for the two guys who really hate to lose is here.

Love the 14 punctuation marks link (the exclamation comma and the snark). So going to use those.

This is really weird. I watched the Freelancing video and laughed so hard I snagged it for myself. Wait, that didn’t come out right… I mean, I got the embed code to use on my site. Then, not an hour later, I received a submission of a video about sexual harassment issues for the self-employed.

I’m with the doctor. It’s no lesser achievement inventing a thing for the second time, so she’s probably more intelligent than all those smug commenters put together. But, as someone who never could remember a formula and always had to deduce it from scratch, I would.
