Idk if thats a legit #bigfoot or not, but if it is…Holy shit!!! #BigfootCaptured- Ron Nopwasky November 10, 2015 Still don’t believe that anyone takes a program like Bigfoot Captured seriously? Okay, let me just go check Twitter for 30 seconds, hold on… They need a network that’s actually serving their best interest-and for the record, their best interest is “Not having pseudoscientific beliefs that they’ll pass on to anyone in earshot.” And if you’re intelligent enough to know that, then you should also realize that it’s the impressionable people watching who most need a source they can actually trust in order to provide real information. The problem is that no, not everyone knows it’s entertainment.

People know the sasquatch documentary they’re watching on History Channel is just entertainment. Your response to this outrage is probably to say “Oh come on, Jim, it’s entertainment. I see no difference between this and learning that a grade school teacher is teaching your kid that we live in a Geocentric universe. They’re actively performing the polemic opposite of their network’s stated function. The people involved should be ashamed of themselves, because they are causing very real, literal harm. The fact that you have networks such as History Channel, Discovery and Animal Planet willfully and consciously planting falsehoods into the minds of their audience is absolutely shameful.

These shows, examples of so-called “docu-tainment” that have become commonplace (and huge ratings successes) on networks that have educational aims in their mission statements, are indicative of everything that is wrong in 21st century media. And possibly put into a pillory and pelted with rotten vegetables, time permitting. Of course, in the real world, I suppose I would settle for everyone involved to simply be fired. There, surrounded by the wailing voices of 10,000 History Channel, Animal Planet and Discovery Channel executives, you would find the crews behind Mermaids: The Body Found, Megalodon: The New Evidence and others, sharing a cozy abode in the lake of fire.

In Jim’s new and revised Hell dimension, there would be a level devoted entirely to television producers who conceived and aired content in the style of Bigfoot Captured. Let’s say, for a second, in a purely hypothetical scenario, that I was made the supreme overseer of Hell, the realm of eternal punishment and suffering.

Last night, The History Channel aired a two-hour special entitled Breaking History: Bigfoot Captured, a title presumably chosen because it directly refers to the mission of said program in breaking any conceivable perception that a network like History Channel might possibly air programs about, oh I don’t know, history.
