ShatteredMinds

Ever since I got the Discovery Channel network on my TV, I have been glued infront of it watching the many various shows; American Hotrods, Dirty Jobs, How It’s Made, Weaponology, etc etc. But there is one show on there that I think have absolutely no point: Brainiac.

Brainiac is a science show that performs experiments on everyday things, like what hairspray is the best against fire, what fruit floats and don’t, and lots of other daily things that you don’t really give a fuck about.
It’s what you get if you take away the seriousness from Mythbusters, add some skanky british women, and a whole lot of explosions. Pointless explosions I might add.

Some of the experiments are interesting. Some, which are few and far in between. The rest is just bullshit stuff that is as unrelated to science as possible.
For example, they have this shitty thing called Tina Turner & her bunsen burner. It’s not the actual Tina Turner, mind you; it’s just a skanky ass actor, being greeted by feebleminded “Brainiacs” at some far off area paved by gravel, where they only do one thing: Blow cars to peices. SCIENCE! Holy shit guys, we blew up some fucking car, jesus christ this is SCIENCE to the god damn extreeeeeme! - No wait it isn’t, sorry.

Then they also did the so called “The Brown Note” which is the theory of when you expose your body to a certain frequency, you will have severe bowel movement, kinda like giving your intestines a throughout massage! Ok, so they put this random guy (”Brainiacs” are as important as redshirts in Star Trek) in a portable toilet cabin, with a really crappy speaker. Then the host says they’re going to play the assumed golden frequency that makes you shit your pants! But he just goes “For your safety, we’re going to turn the sound off”. Huh? What’s the fuckin’ point in this experiment then? And when they’re done muting the sound, to obviously mask that they didn’t play any sound at all, the host runs over to the cabin and act like “Oh dear, he shat himself” sort of.

Give me a fucking break! We don’t get to see any evidence that this happened, there was no camera inside that could show it happened, there is no sound coming from the cabin what so ever, and the speaker is just too god damn weak. Sorry Brainiac, this question was already tackled in Mythbusters, where Adam was exposed to a ring of massive consert speakers that would blow the brains out of anyone if played loudly. He didn’t crap his pants at all, even though they went through the whole lower spectrum of frequencies.

So please people for your own safety, sanity, and if any children present: Don’t watch Brainiac, don’t let them fill your mind with complete garbage that doesn’t carry a nick of truth. But still, it’s just something you watch if there’s nothing else on TV, and you can always fantasize about you doing the chicks on screen.
