Armed Man Takes Hostages At Discovery Channel HQ
An anonymous reader writes "The manifesto of the man holding the Discovery Channel hostage with a bomb has been released. He has fired shots and taken hostages. His main complaints are about overpopulation, religion and civilization. He wants them to avoid encouraging people to produce more 'disgusting human babies,' to get people to accept 'Malthus-Darwin science,' reject civilization and its 'disgusting religious-cultural roots,' and to stop 'ALL immigration pollution.'" The man has now been shot by police, and the hostages have been freed.
Seriously, who holds the people at the Discovery Channel hostage for anything?
This won't affect shark week will it?

Invader Zim is back!
If we don't have any more disgusting babies, how will we get people to work the boats on Deadliest Catch, or drive the rigs on Ice Road Truckers?
Why didn't he just jump off the building, and then make an immediate appearance on Ghost Lab? He would have had all the air time in the world to rant about "parasitic human infants" if he could make the first ever actually non-BS appearance on an idiotic cable ghost hunting show.
Anyway, let's hear it for the Montgomery County PD for taking care of this clown. Alas, we'll now get to listen to him rant in court, too.
Don't disappoint your bird dog. Go to the range.
Jamie Heinemann shot the perp with a potato cannon and knocked him into a tank full of sharks.

Violence is like XML -- if it's not solving your problem, you're not using enough of it!

But he took over the Discovery HQ! Think of the sharks!

They taste suspiciously like chicken.
I'd watch a Discovery Channel game show based on Time Cube!
I'm sorry, moonbender, the answer is "Word Animal Singularity Brotherhood." You are educated stupid. Goodnight.
