# Except according to that program, factories don't exist,
and everything is made by a master craftsman in Canada.

# They do show a lot of factories
making stuff. I like those ones the most. I love the machines they use!
The 'master crafstman' ones are quite dull.
There's one where they show how battery chickens are farmed, from egg to chicken-inna-cage. I'm fine with farming animals for meat, but it was quite distressing to see the little chicks being transported round on conveyor rollers. "The small chicks fall through the gaps and are discarded" "The workers check for deformities and discard the imperfect chicks" there were a few shots of chicks getting limbs caught in the rollers and stuff.

# Eeep!
I see it sorta like talking heads '100 Best Countdowns' type filler, it's easy to watch and sorta glides over you when you have a beer in your hand (and laptop in the other)

That one sounds a tad scary tho...

# yeah!
it's great procrastination-telly. y'know, the soothing background noise you put on while you're supposed to be doing something else because you think it won't distract you.

Harrumph! Would you rather watch a program about how cigarettes are made than see me make a Welsh Dresser out of mahogany? ( naked, probably.)

# hehe,
i think if the craftsmen were naked they'd definitely hold my attention a bit more!
