What's the deal with all the religious fundamentalist and pseudoscience (especially people selling snake oil cure-alls) advertising on this channel? Isn't that sort of contrary to the channel's theme and purpose? It wouldn't strike me as odd if it weren't for the fact that the Science Channel is the only channel out of the many I watch in which I've seen these commercials (except, of course, infomercials on every channel). --I am not good at running 23:37, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

That's probably because this whole "Science" TV thing is largely pseudo-scientific talking rubbish like "millions of years of evolution" and so on Top Cat 20:51, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Probably because its the only advertisements they could get, as it is a low paying slot. Bkkeim2000 (talk) 03:28, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:SCIENCE CHANNEL.png

Image:SCIENCE CHANNEL.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Show > Humanology

There is no page dedicated to this show. I wanted info on that Brazilian guy who can withstand high voltage running through his body. Also a woman, who like me, can't wear watches because she interferes with electronic devices. She could generate current on an oscilliscope while watching video of the Brazilian man. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.34.173.171 (talk) 23:20, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
