76. Glad to see someone else is noticing it, even from outside the business
I cringe every time I see their animated figures getting crushed, tossed, killed, etc, as though that is what the audience is waiting to see happen to the real life people. Which they probably are, given how their promos for the show go.

If I checked on a thinning project and saw anything happening like some of that stuff on the show, I'd shut them down and find a new logging outfit. We don't log a lot, just as necessary to manage the stand, so it isn't a daily thing for us (every so many years, and only as needed).
