Tell Discovery Communications to cancel Palin! "Drill, Baby, Drill" comes to Discovery?


The media conglomerate Discovery Communications used to be known for their earth-friendly offerings. But they’ve just paid millions to Sarah Palin to host a “nature” show, despite her decidedly anti-environmental stance: She vocally advocates for habitat-destroying oil drilling, she denies global warming is a human-caused threat, and she spearheaded a brutal wolf-slaughter program as governor of Alaska.

Giving anti-environmentalist Sarah Palin a television platform like this runs entirely counter to everything Discovery has always been about.

Unless the network plans to expose her as the land-raping globe-heating dolt that she is, this show needs to be canceled.

Regardless of the angle, paying this imbecile $1.2 million per episode is nothing short of obscene.

Was Discovery Communications bought by Rupert Murdoch when I wasn't looking?

Sign the petition for cancellation!

The Cave Restaurant by Koichi Takada Architects » CONTEMPORIST

Now THIS is smart design. We've all been in restaurants that have great energy, but where it's impossible to hold a conversation due to the noise level. This architectural firm has used the kind of acoustic software used to tune concert halls to create an atmosphere that allows intimate conversation while maintaining that nice background buzz. The restaurant is called "The Cave"... But it could just as easily be called "Monstro". Now, hopefully the cuisine will live up to the look and sound...
