        Exactly. I prefer documentaries from people who don’t go out of their way to lie to make a point. He’s right on par with that Disney documentary that threw a bunch of lemmings off a cliff

            The whole ‘lemmings running off a cliff’ thing is total bullshit. It came from a Disney documentary and they chucked/chased them off the cliff.
