PBS Suspends Roots

June 25, 2015 | celebrity | Lex Jurgen | 0 Comments

PBS has suspended production of its third season of Finding Your Roots after an investigation revealed Ben Affleck successfully pressured the show to omit airing the fact that one of his great-great-grand-relatives was a slave owner in the antebellum South. The entire point of the show is to make famous white people feel stupid when presented with evidence that their ancestors were racist a-holes. Affleck’s strong arm came to light in the leaked Sony emails of last years, so mostly this is North Korea’s fault. Or as grandpappy Affleck used to say, the god damned Chinks. Fuck, ex-that out. PBS has decided the show needs some additional hires like a ‘fact checker’ and a legit genealogist. Nobody thought to include those on the org chart when producing a fact based shows about genealogy. Not to worry, tax payers are footing the bill and when you divide the cost by a hundred million filers, it’s hardly anything per person. Public television seems like an awesome idea until you think about it.
