We believe TLC went out of their way to pick a fight on this, and they didn't let us know their intentions.

Tell it like it is!


Another company pulls advertising from TLC

This. From what I can understand, the show is set to outline that outside of religious beliefs, most Muslim Americans are just like the majority of other Americans.

Those making this into a controversy? Idiots.

Hmmm good point. The show sucks, therefore the creators of the show call in and complain, and they get a surge in watchers of the next shows.....Brilliant...Look, they have all of us talking about it.

The next thing you know they will have Jesse James on the show converting

The characters from "Republican Gomorrah" live on and obviously still have a huge influence in our country.

Muslims, communists and homosexuals, oh my!

The show even follows a Sheriff and a federal officer. I guess they're not real LEO's after all. I think I will start watching the show, and make a concerted effort to find advertisers who have stayed.
