Science Channel refuses to dumb down science any further

The Onion reports that one science-related cable channel is standing firm, refusing to reduce its actual science content below the 5% it has maintained for the last few years. 95% mindless drivel is enough, producers said. "We already have a show called Really Big Things, which is just ridiculous if you think about it, and one called Heavy Metal Taskforce, which I guess deals with science on some distant level, though I don't know what it is. Plus, there's Punkin Chunkin. Punkin Chunkin, for Christ's sake."
