History Channel Admits To Profiting From Nazi Documentaries
NEW YORK—The History Channel confessed Monday that it used Nazi footage to fatten its coffers. "The time has come to bring our network's shameful legacy to light," History Channel president Warren Brabender said. "Over the past 10 years, more than $300 million in ad revenue has been generated through the airing of Nazi documentaries." The channel will likely be required to pay reparations to Americans who viewed the atrocities.

Lol, The Onion always has funny stuff.

Yeah, when the board's slow I do all sorts of stuff to amuse myself.

LOL, if it wasn't for the Nazis, the History Channel would have to just broadcast three hours a day. "All World War II, all of the time," should be their motto.

hmm... I'd say that is a matter that could use some attention [img]tongue.gif[/img]

a few decades too late...

I don't see any problem with this, presuming this to be true. Why shouldn't the History Channel broadcast old Nazi documentaries? The Nazis are part of history, whether we like it or not.

Bear in mind that I really enjoy the History Channel, and I let TJ watch it with me after he has finished his homework (at least if they have something on I want to watch). He'll probably learn more history that way in one month than in his public school classes in one year.... [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img]

The World War II channel ( the History Channel ) is one of the few channels that I will watch.
