Weird that someone bumped this thread. I was just thinking about it yesterday - spent 7 hours at an Amish auction - tons of Amish there; Amish to English was about 2:1. But, I was thinking - if it was any other religion or group of people that were caricatured the way that show does, people would be absolutely up in arms about it. That show is to the Amish as having a show with black people constantly eating watermelon would be.
Shame on the Discovery channel for continuing to air crap like that. (Scored some awesome deals at the auction.)
