1000lb Sisters- Promo

Ah, the hoarder shows. I've occasionally watched both the A&E and the TLC show. For some I don't feel sorry for the filthy disgusting piles of food containers, Pepsi cans, feces and mummified rats they continue to throw around in their homes. For others, especially those that have massive antique collections or comic books or vintage toys...it really is hard to convince some of these people to downsize, just imagine the VALUE of their antique collection! How about six to seven figures? And for some, they hoard because they have PTSD or horrible memories from earlier in their lives. There was a Hoarding: Buried Alive episode once where a woman began hoarding after her ex-boyfriend raped her and slit her throat...she nearly died. Another Hoarders episode where a woman saw her father's fatal heart attack as a child and suffered PTSD from that...she too became a compulsive hoarder. Some of those stories are very sad.

I guess you could say I "hoard" emails. Except for spam, I have all my emails going back about 22 years. I don't trip over them, though, and I've yet to find a dead rat underneath them. So, all's OK.

Did you ever notice how so many of the hoarders seem to be hoarding fat cells, too?

There was another episode of Hoarders where the woman had dead cats in her fridge and 50+ cats in her house. Holy s--t!!

Look! It's actual Learning Channel stuff, from nearly 26 years ago. In this break is a promo for a program on the gold rush and a Walter Cronkite documentary on the growing problem of traffic jams. Is My 600 Lb Life promoted in this...oh hell no.

Of course I realized they changed into the reality TV epidemic slop a long long time ago.  The Channel "redefined what it stands for and embraced the well-known colloquial phrase "tender loving care" in a bid to connect its heartwarming programming with viewers in a more emotional fashion." Oh STFU!

TLC used to stand for "The Learning Channel". Now it seems that TLC stands for "Televisionabout Large Chicks.

Damn shame.
