C'mon:

Another post about some ridiculous TV. I was watching PBS and came across this documentary on a group of scientist who were trying to catch the largest crocodile ever recorded by man. It was ri-freaking-diculous huge! Something like 20 ft long and over 1000 lbs. They built all these traps and cages and watched the crocodile (named Gustav) for some time. Here's the thing. They didn't catch him. I watched the entire documentary and they didn't even catch him? Seriously, c'mon people. What a disappointment.

Also ridiculous. The whole thing takes place in Africa along a small section of the Nile. The scientists can only work over a period of two months because after that, the government can no longer offer them protection. Apparently, the change in state government which was going to happen after the two months expired could result in civil war. I don't know, but somebody's priorities seem to be rather screwed up. Unstable government that could result in hundreds of thousands of deaths or the freakin' pointless/unsuccessful giant crocodile documentary? Alright, end of rant. Rage, fading. I am afterall a ticking timebomb of fury.
