Thanks a lot because you didn't donate Trump is now investigating PBS's investors, this is all your fault.

PBS is the only streaming service we have left. I love me some Antiques Roadshow.

Don't forget about all of the DAMN sponsors Sid the Science Kid had.

The Metlife Foundation

The RoseHills Foundation

The S.D. Bechtel Jr. Foundation

The John W. Carson Foundation

The Arthur Vining Davis Foundations

That was, like, 5 GODDAMN FOUNDATIONS sponsoring this one PBS Kids show in particular. Good lord...

I always felt guilty. I think that's what they are going for. They specifically say "like you" not thank" you! " Somewhere there's a guy like me who's struggling to get buy watching a docuseries on bugs just like me and still writing a check to support this local station. I'm such a bum.

There was a Simpsons episode about this.

One of the lines was like “If you’re watching this and you didn’t donate, you’re basically a crook. A common thief.”

Then Homer calls in a fake donation and they show up at his door.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
