He wasn't watching PBS... so someone else told him to do it after watching it. Probably same person trying to find more reasons to defund PBS.
I'm sure he wasn't even aware of what station was airing the movie. He was flicking through the channels and saw one that was interesting.
It's like a billion dollar rebuild and a multi million dollar yearly budget, why the fuck would we ever open this shithole ever again.
It lasted like 30 years specifically because sadly corroded the ever loving fuck out of everything and last I heard salt water isn't any less salty then 1969.
See, I don't know. He's been posting about cutting funding, so I could see him turning it on expecting to see a bunch of queers making out with ostriches or whatever the fuck he thinks goes on at PBS but instead got an idea. Which is kind of sweet, if you think about it. That's so PBS, they can't help but educate even if the viewer is a fascist penis wrinkle.
Lmfao whatta coincidence!
Ikr, him watching pbs would be a good onion though
