By Any Other Name
We're all familiar with the conundrum, why do they call it music video television (MTV) if they don't play music videos? Here's a few more...
Why is it called The History Channel when all they play are shows on World War I, World War II, and veitnam? When was the last time the History Channel played anything unrelated to Western Wars in the last century? Shouldn't it rather be called the War Channel?
Why is it called The Outdoor Channel when all they play are hunting shows? I've never seen anything on hiking, dirt biking, rock climbing, spelunking, or any of a thousands things that could be referred to as "outdoor". All I've seen are the slaughtering of bear, deer, pig, turkey, dove, elk, lion, and moose along with inside looks at the weapons of their destruction. Shouldn't it rather be called the Hunting Channel?
