1. So much of TV is so bad. Recently, I fondly recalled Springsteen's "57 Channels" and transposed it to today's 357. Not much has changed since 1992.

2. Tough one, reminds me of someone (probably a philosopher of sorts) saying something about the battle for good being the toughest of them all. I've no idea of MR's current methods, as I read so few of the obvious troll top-posts lately, but I imagine they could be improved. Perhaps we should be thankful he is taking the burden of fighting them for us all.

3. Don't know if I should care.

4. Yes there is, it is simply a bad joke.

5. How very scientific. As Fritz said this is a good way to look at it, but those that don't believe are beyond your or my ability to change that. And while offering a compelling reduction to them for this purpose may be valiant and selfless, the effort of construction is self-flagellation at its best. But keep trying, I beg of you.

6. Undoubtedly, but bacon is still the tastiest food on the table. (the pork product not the poster) I saw Who Killed the Electric Car recently and was similarly disgusted.
