My IQ is unaffected by these shows. Because I don’t watch them. If you think it’s killing your brain, just don’t watch. If everyone would do the same, they’d stop making them.

They’re trying to burst a blood vessel in my head with those Bigfoot commercials. It’s the same jackass. “She’s making an assumption. She’s assuming there was an owl there.”

As opposed to you assuming there’s a “squatch” there. If there is no room for an owl, there’s no room for a big, hairy monster. Go away commercial, I’m trying to watch Wonders of the universe.
