I know it was only a show, and for people who saw it as just that, that's fine. But I have a really fucking hatred for that show because I knew really ignorant people who took it as true or a possibility.
Far too many people took that show as a reality, maybe not you, but far too many.
Every time I'd visit my friend's house while they were watching that, they'd make comments about "it could happen" and all I wanted to do is shout "IT'S JUST A FUCKING TV SHOW YOU FUCKING MORON"
Even today, the same superstitious crap about Big Foot and ghost hunters is still poisoning people's minds. When taken as a mere escape and entertainment I have no problem. But when people take that as true, I want to pull my hair out.
