@JK I just watched that fucking thing! Mountain Monsters.
A bunch of fat hillbillies falling about in the scrub, waving guns about like Elmer Fudd, and generally bringing West Virginians into disrepute.
If any of those guns were actually loaded they'd surely have to be arrested for violating every firearms code known to man - but, they can't possibly have been because none of the principals actually got shot during filming (not as far as I could see, anyway).
My only question is - what the hell is it doing on Animal Planet? It makes The Beverly Hillbillies look like a documentary!

Fragments of what appear to be burnt debris found on a beach in Madagascar could lead to a breakthrough in the case to solve how Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 vanished more than two years ago.
Discovered by American independent investigator Blaine Gibson – who has previously found other parts that were confirmed to be from MH370 – the material is the first to show signs of exposure to heat or fire.
“If they are confirmed as MH370 and if the fire was before the crash, this is significant evidence of what caused the plane’s demise,”
However, he warned it was too early to draw firm conclusions – or even to know if the debris is from the missing plane. The parts, found by a local fisherman in southeast Madagascar, near Sainte-Luce, could have been burned after the crash once they washed ashore, he said.Gibson flew to Australia this week to hand over the articles, along with three other pieces of suspected debris, to the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) to analyse whether they came from the Boeing 777, which went off radar in March 2014.
“We don’t know yet if it is from MH370. I think it is,” he said.
The ATSB said the Malaysian government was responsible for the investigation and “therefore is responsible for the analysis of all possible MH370 debris”.
It confirmed that Gibson handed over the new finds on Monday and the agency was “seeking advice from Malaysian authorities regarding how they would like to proceed”.
The Malaysian department of civil aviation said in a statement published in local media on Tuesday that “any debris found will be analysed and examined in Canberra”.
It added: “At this juncture, it is too premature to certify the debris is indeed from MH370.”
The ATSB has previously analysed several pieces of debris and concluded that four of them were “almost certainly” from the missing plane. It is currently investigating a suspected wing flap that was found on Pemba island, Zanzibar, in June, but has not yet released its findings.
Gibson, whose private search is self-funded, described the items as shattered composite panels with hexagonal honeycombing inside. Both had evidence of blackened singeing and burning to off-white paint on both sides.
He said he believed the parts were likely to be from an internal section of the plane, such as the cabin or cargo area, rather than a structural piece involved in flying, such as the wing.
The ATSB is conducting a deep-sea sonar search but may halt the operation by the end of this year if the current search area of 120,000 sq km (46,000 sq miles) in the southern Indian ocean does not uncover the aircraft.
The operation to find MH370, which had 239 people on board, has cost AU$160m (US$122m) so far.
There are myriad theories as to how the plane disappeared. An onboard fire prior to the crash makes at least one of these – speculation that the pilot crashed the plane on purpose – less likely.
The ATSB has conducted drift modelling to examine the effects of sea currents and wind on any wreckage.
In July last year, a flaperon was found on Réunion Island off the coast of Madagascar. It was the first piece to be formally identified as part of the MH370 wreckage.

@infidel A guy at work gave me a five minute lecture on the HAARP machine last month, apparently Snowden let slip all the details about it
http://www.secretsofthefed.com/snowden-reveals-haarps-clobal-assassination-agenda-w-video/
You make up a site like that, moonbats click on it and watch your ad revenue go up, best of all the chances of Snowden contradicting you are fairly minute.
The same moonbat gave a Wingertastic lecture on 9/11 and I finally snapped and showed him this picture which I think explains why it pancaked downwards, which only got him blathering on about how could the fire weaken all the steel? He declined my offer to put a frying pan on a stove element so the pan was half on the element and half off and then put his hand on the part that wasn't on the element as proof of his theory. I'n real life I rarely bother trying to discuss this bullshit with people because I find like Winger they are so entrenched in the stupid it'd be fairly embarrassing to admit to themselves how idiotic their beliefs are.

President-elect ‘was born in Pakistan’
After years spent fostering the conspiracy theory that President Obama was not an American citizen, Donald Trump now faces a “birther” movement of his own after a Pakistani news channel claimed that the president-elect was born a Muslim in Pakistan.
The Urdu-language broadcaster Neo News claims to have seen evidence that Donald John Trump was born Dawood Ibrahim Khan in lawless North Waziristan. The region is a notorious hotbed of Islamist militancy and a haven for groups such as al-Qaeda and the Taliban.
In the news report, which was broadcast last month but has gone viral since the election, the presenter announced: “Believe it or not, presidential candidate Donald Trump was born in Pakistan and not in America.”
Young Dawood was educated in a madrassa, or religious seminary, before he was orphaned when his parents died in a road accident in 1954, Neo News reported. He was then taken to London by a retired Indian captain in the British Army and adopted by the Trump family in 1955.
As evidence of its extraordinary claim, which would disqualify Mr Trump from assuming the presidency, Neo News cited several posts on social media and the grainy photograph of a young, blond-haired boy in Pakistani dress whose surly expression bears a passing resemblance to the president-elect.
Like the birther movement targeting Mr Obama, Neo News is likewise undeterred by the complete lack of evidence for its claims. The broadcaster is calling on Mr Trump to produce his birth certificate and take a DNA test that it believes would uncover his Pakistani heritage.
Conspiracies aside, Pakistan is jittery about the implications of Mr Trump’s election victory, fearing that he will lean towards its neighbour and rival, India.
The property mogul turned commander-in-chief has been highly critical of US policy towards Pakistan, demanding that Islamabad sever ties with the terrorist groups sheltering within its borders if it wants to continue to receive billions of dollars in American aid.
