Help, my husband is stuck in the doctors office with Faux on and he
is getting even more sick by the minute because * is speaking. Can I call 911?

1. I'm at home and I'm forcing myself to watch it. I really want to vomit.
Maybe I'm a masochist.

9. The reason he went today was nausea and he had to leave to
get some fresh air and call me and rant about what a %#%&#@ * is and how he wanted to puke. I asked him if people were watching and he said yes. He didn't want to be rude and change the channel. I would have been rude.

3. Call the Dr.'s office on his behalf and tell them they'll have a REAL
emergency on their hands if they don't change the channel NOW!!! Getting backup support from the outside is sometimes the only way to win that battle. I'd have a hard time keeping my lunch down if I were subjected to Faux like that. :puke:

5. Just tell him to ask to switch to another channel.
Whenever I do, most places are happy to agree, and many in the waiting area have thanked me for doing so.

7. RevCheesehead, you rock!
I do this all the time -- breakfast rooms at hotels, at Jiffy Lube, automobile repair shops, even in my own home. Sometime, it works, um, except at home....

8. I always ask if they will put on a different channel.
100% of the time they have agreed.

12. Really, the hyperbole is lame...
Fox can't make you more sick. More pissed, sure. This little happy Internet bubble of only being exposed to what we want to hear is complete bullshit. Fuck, listen to the the other side. Fuck, know their argument. At least you can walk into the fight armed.
