Band name!
Speaking of the horribly repetitive ads that were playing during Band of Brothers, can anyone explain to me how the special forces in that video game (I think it is Ghost Recon 2) can manage to turn out the lights AND the fire in that oil drum before attacking that North Korean squad of soldiers?
Turning off electric lights I understand, but if the US has invented some kind of technology to douse fires from long range without the use of water, chemicals, or any other visible means, my thoughts would boil down to this: America. Fuck yeah.
Well, I watched the show… I thought it was pretty good …
*::: you’re all a bunch of poopy heads :::: *
Dramatic recreations. I believe it was in Atlanta. I was watching the NEWS fercrissakes and they did a recreation of a burgler/rapist guy from some suburb. It was so lame it was hilarious. WHO DOES RECREATIONS ON THE NEWS??!!
I’ve read that his reputation as a scientist was on par with Einstein in the 20th C.
The first place I ever heard it was Spy magazine, around 1989 – “The Hitler Channel – All Adolf, All the Time.”
Simpsons did it!
Admittedly, not first. I’ve been calling it that independently since about that time as well. Still…
Ah, the Luftwaffe. The Washington Generals of the History Channel.
Did the “burglar” have a mask and a prison-striped shirt?
Oh yes those commercials are disgusting…
However the show was pretty status-quo, as far as historical documentaries go. It was pretty informative and interesting, and didn’t have any cheesy stuff in it like the commercial.
