Thank you, Spike TV.

Occasionally, I'll flip through the channels looking for something to watch and end up on your channel. And I usually enjoy a lot of the programming you have. And, although I thought that it seemed like you were becoming the 'All Star Wars, All The Time' channel, I nonetheless enjoy watching that series, and was overall pleased with you.

And then, last night, during a late-night-in-bed channel surf-a-thon, I came across a program which looked cool. I wasn't able to pay complete attention at first, but the Comic-Book style graphics led me to believe that this might be a neat show to watch before I ended my day. Little did I know that this was some sort of 'horrible ways people have died' program, and I was about to see the most horrific, disturbing image I have ever seen on TV.

I'm sure there was some sort of warning before the show started, but since I hadn't caught that, I had mistakenly judged the content of the show based on the light and fun cartoon style of the graphics that were on when I switched to the program, and the video of the cute couple going about their happy day. Sure, the announcer made mention that 'little did they know that their day was going to take a change drastically'. but I thought little of it.

And an FYI for you - Just because you blur the portion of the video which most people would find utterly disturbing to see, it was about as effective as Japanese porn. Sure, you can't see crisp detail, but you know what is going on and it has pretty much the same effect.

I felt sick.

I couldn't sleep.

I'm even getting nauseous as I type this here.

So thank you, Spike TV. Thank you very much.
