TLC has ignored my "suggestion"

posted August 21, 2007 8:17 PM PDT

So it's been a week since I emailed TLC asking that they use proper grammar on their programs so I thought I would check in this week to see if they took my "suggestion under consideration". I quote that, because that is what they replied back to me with. I guess The Learning Channel wants to make america dummer.

what would you know? different week. same shit.

You should send it in to Jay Leno. He eats shit like this up. Especially because they call themselves The Learning Channel.

"I am very embarrassed on your behalf to bring to your attention that not only last week, but this week as well included incorrect grammar in your show's banner. "Your watching LA ink" versus what should be "you're watching LA ink" is showing on your station during the show. This has also been noticed by a friend of mine who has already written as a helpful notice, and received a generic email that stated his suggestion would be considered. It's not a suggestion, it's a language. I hope your station finds a way to fix your problem before others notice and it becomes a further embarrassment. "

they don't accept emails. they only accept usps to check authenticity. I think I have an envelope around here somewhere. Its worth it if it makes it on.

Wow!! I am almost speechless.

How could no one catch that? I'm sure they have several editors.

It's "The Learning Channel", if they already knew what they were doing it would be called the "Lead By Example Channel".

Discovery Networks put all their rotten eggs in one basket called TLC. That's why all the motorcycles and crap are off Discovery now.
