History Channel: Fill Thailand's knowledge void

History Channel: Fill Thailand's knowledge void

Could you tolerate watching the space shuttle explode up to 20-times a night? If so, subscribing to the History Channel could help you to fill the intellectual void of Thailand's TV schedules.

With topics as diverse as ancient mysteries, biography, modern marvels and military blunders, it makes a nice change from dull Hollywood movies, unfunny bloopers and real-life cop shows. Perhaps it concentrates too much on American history but it does offer plenty of intelligent viewing.

Some crap manages to sneak in, though. In a show called The Unexplained, new-age twats and neurotic housewives are given free rein to blather on about ghostly encounters and psychic energy. This show sucks so badly that it creates a near-perfect vacuum around the TV set.

My favourite slot is Biography, featuring the likes of Saddam Hussein, Mother Teresa and Pablo Picasso. Curiously, the intro describes them as the worlds most captivating people. Captivating? Saddam Hussein? Are we talking about the same person?

Bizarrely, they've now started playing the ubiquitous space shuttle clip in reverse. As the NASA commentator always says - obviously a serious malfunction.

Adele - may I cal you Adele, you seem like my solemate. On my website, HAARGENSTAAD VOETEN, YOU WILL SEE THAT OVER 40 PEOPLE HAVE SIGNED UP TO KILL THE DAVID DEVIL. We will travel in February - i hope we can meet anbd slay the breast together. Funy how people think the internet protects them , Mr 4 consonent 3 vowel david.

adele finker says:

Svennis - may I call you Svennis as a term of endearment? we are joined together on this mission, dear friend, but after that our relationshiop must end. For YOU ARE A MAN! And all men are evil; at heart even when, like you, they want to rid the world of those men more evil than themselves. I think that after ridding ourselves of the DAVID 666, we go after his supporters. My polivce firiend who gave me DAVID'S name has been watching the Devil and he has a friend with him - a large man with glasses and a strange accent. HE TOO IS EVIL.

Ulga Minger says:

Ah yes, we have a good thing cooking. I too will join in this crusade to rid the David monster and his followers who are truly men of evil and who like to play the sadist game. Come Sven, come Adele, chose your weapons and meet me at the corner of Patpong one and Silom on the first full moon in Feb and we will finally fuck this cunt over good and proper. Aieee Aieee - for that will be our battle call and you shall flock to me (however, on the off chance that my voice has gone - I've had a bit of a cold recently - I will be wearing a black silk teddy and cherry red timberland boots).

Nick says:

I enjoy reading your postings, Sven and Adele. It is good that there are like-minded folks out there. At last there are people who are as sickened by this depravity as I am. I understand that this David Vowel person and his depraved evil glass-wearing friend have been out of BK, but they are back....

DONT THREATEN ME. WHO DO YOPU THINK YOU ARE! You violate Thai women and threaten me. YOU WILL DIE, Mr Dave vowel, vowel, consonant, consonant, vowel, consonant. How dare you THREATEN ME. I do not CARE whetre you are, I will FIND you. Ulga Minger may find it amusing(a false name I am sure) but I am DEADLY serious and you will suffer on this earyth before suffering for ETERNITY in the FIRES of hell.
