The Learning Channel

I just discovered why TLC is no longer called The Learning Channel.  I just saw an ad on my screen for a new show called BBQ Pitmasters.  Here's TLC's synopsis of the newest episode:

As temperatures soar, it's not just the meat that's getting cooked when teams head to the desert for the Smokin' in Mesquite BBQ Championship for a taste of the $40,000 in cash and prizes.

I'm a little ashamed to live in a world where this is considered learning.
