I love discovery most of the time, mythbusters, dirty jobs, and all sorts of great shows but sometimes they go off the deep end.
They quite often have those shock shows like “MEGA VOLCANO!” or “DEATH ASTEROID!” or “THE COMING OF THE GREAT WHITE HANKY!” all pieces with some meagre scientific backing and mostly a lot of stock footage of explosions. I caught the end of one today about giant wild pigs spreading across america where they uttered the phrase “But what if there were a perfect pork storm?” which is just so ridiculous.
They go to extremes of fear mongering suggesting that giant mutant super pigs will be breaking down your door riding a death asteriod just as a super volcano blows.
