Sometime last week a friend of DCist sent in this rather hilarious web site promoting what appears to be a one-man crusade and protest against the Silver Spring, Md.-based Discovery Channel. As you can see, the singularly named “Lee,” with his faux-tough mug shot and all-caps, is dishing out a little of the old insane rambling on the cable network to promote his “Save the Planet Protest Against the Discovery Channel,” which the web site says is planned from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. for the entire week of February 15—23, 2008:

These guys have been very sneaky and deceptive as to their contribution to the planetary problems. Just look at their ‘new’ show about saving the planet, “Planet Green,” to me, it’s just another show about more PRODUCTS to make MONEY, not about actual solutions. We can’t let them get away with doing it anymore. Join me in the PROTEST AGAINST THE DISCOVERY NETWORK to get them to start broadcasting real shows that actually work to save the planet. But not just a show about THEM TELLING US WHAT LIGHTBULB TO USE, but shows where solutions are brought to the new shows from people all over with good ideas.

There’s plenty of other gems in this guy’s manifesto, but we can’t possibly quote them all. We also couldn’t quite figure out what to do with this big pile of crazy, especially since, if it wasn’t obvious from the text of the web site, a Discovery Channel employee told us that this appears to be the work of someone who is a fan of Daniel Quinn (the author mentioned at the bottom whose book would apparently fit the bill as the basis of a show the Discovery Channel should air), who is also a disgruntled, aspiring TV producer who has apparently gone off the deep end after having his pitches rejected by Discovery on several occasions. It just seemed kinda sad.

But after reading this Express story about how the company’s headquarters has become Maryland’s first existing structure to secure Platinum-level Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification, we couldn’t help ourselves. Anyone who seriously ponders questions about the Discovery Channel like, “If their ‘environmental’ shows are actually working, then why is the news about the environment getting worse?” is just asking for a good mocking.
