8x56MS,

Here's another newsflash for you, it was on American TV, so you would think they would try to make the show appeal to its audience. I highly doubt this show has many native African viewers of it. Heck, I doubt DirectTV or OLN for that matter, is available in Africa, but I could be wrong.

Trust me, I know that things are different in different parts of the world. I have visited Europe and my parents came directly from Italy. However, that doesn't mean I have to put up with them here in the USA or endorse things I think are detrimental to the USA. If I had kids, I wouldn't want them to watch a show like that and think it is okay to point a gun at somebody. They don't sit down on the show and say, "Kids, here in Africa we do things a little different than you do in American because we carry heavy rifles around all day long. We carry them by the barrel slung over our shoulder and pointed directly at the person in front of us, BUT we make sure they are unloaded at all times until we are just about to shoot an animal." Kids pick up way too many bad habits from TV, and I wouldn't want that to be a habit that my children learn.
