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?

    People looking for their hostage situation to become a long-running reality series.

    Committing violence is never the way to gain true followers.

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