That science is one bad motherf…

I just wish TechTV hadn’t been swallowed by that black hole of a network. I miss Pat and Leo on the Screensavers so much!
Eh, this is just their way of trying to get the target audience (young men) to think science is cool.
I am in favor of anything that makes the average person more interested in science (I think it’s ridiculous how ignorant most people are about science - I recall seeing a poll a while back that showed a fair number of people out there think that the sun orbits the earth).
But he’s only talkin’ about science… 
I’m sure there’s ways of making science appeal to kids without wrapping it up in douchebaggery. Besides, they seem to forget that swearing is the province of the uneducated motherfucker. 
Effing sounds like a small English town. I’ll leave the writing of the “Effing _______” sketches to someone else.
I’ve never seen the show. But I have to question the premises that
-
It’s for children and
-
It’s educational
I googled it and the first thing that came up was “Effing Science: Why 420 Makes You Hungry”. It’s really straining me to believe that this is a show intended for or marketed to kids. Do you consider Mythbusters to be a kids show just because it’s nominally informative? I certainly don’t. How about Manswers?
I’m struggling to even really call it educational. Seems more like edutainment, or just plain old reality show.
They really should have just gone all out and called it “Effing Science, How Does it Work?”
At least it was, 3-4 re-tools ago. Not that I’m bitter about the loss of a great TV Network or anything…*
Now its TV that’s plugged in.
That makes absolutely no sense, in this highly mobile society.
*Leo and Pat, we miss you.
How did I miss this?
Yeah well, THIS.
