re: Myth Busters/Can a plane take off on a conveyor belt

Did anyone get in touch with Discovery to find out why they cut that part out of the show?

f*ck you, ive r@ped people for far less than this. you think you can f*cking come on OT and just act like a f*cking hardass and order people around? Bad news for you, f*ckface, but tonights the night your luck runs out. You f*cking tell ANYBODY on these forums what to do again, and you're going to find out the hard way what a f*cking baseball bat to the side of the skull feels like. Think I'm f*cking kidding? I have your IP, I know who you are, and Im more than willing to settle this argument face to f*cking face. You call yourself "Hooligan"? We'll see who's the hooligan when one of us is lying face down in a pile of their own blood, sh!t, and p!ss. Try and order someone else on here around, and see what f*cking happens to you. I'm normally a calm guy but when I need to, I'm willing to break some f*cking face to get my point across, just f*cking test me you worthless sack of excrement.

These guys take this shite seriously.

Here's a message from teh producer (Dan Tapster)that is on the MB website:


I have just received an email from Dan Tapster, executive producer of MythBusters.

Thanks to all the activity, he can't log in and asked me to post this for him.

Dear all,

As wbarnhill called out, I thought I should step in to what is rapidly becoming a hornet's nest. I will try to calm things down but I don't hold out much hope!

First up, for those concerned that this story has been cancelled, don't worry, planes on a conveyer belt has been filmed, is spectacular, and will be part of what us Mythbusters refer to as 'episode 97'. Currently that is due to air on January 30th.

Secondly, for those very aggrieved fans feeling "duped" into watching tonight's show, I can only apologise. I'm not sure why the listings / internet advertised that tonight's show contained POCB. I will endeavour to find out an answer but for those conspiracy theorists amongst you, I can assure you that it will have just been an honest mistake. At one point
several months ago, POCB was going to be part of Airplane Hour. Somewhere, someone has mistakenly posted the wrong listing. It will have been a genuine mistake but nonetheless it was a mistake which is unacceptable. As said I will try to find out what went wrong and hope that you will see fit to forgive the team at Discovery.

Thanks in advance,

Dan

Well, good to know we'll see it eventually... I guess this thread will be at around 50 pages by then...

That too.

I have to call bullshite. There is no way they did not know how big this episode was. There has been zero mention of the segment in question not being aired. I guess all is well, as long as they show it at some point. These fools must be proven wrong. Huh Boo?

Ok, I am willing to accept that answer. But come January 30th, if they pull the episode again, I'm never watching mythbusters again.

Both YOU and Discovery mislead us
