I used to read the Valentino column (or at least parts of it), too. Cuz I felt the exact way u described (Ryno). I figured, "so what if he makes up alot of sh#t, he's funny and entertaining (in a that crayzy fu#cker kind of way)." But now he really is coming forward to get the allready misinformed gen public even more off base and even more against wha alot of us do in a manner that is nothing like the scary stories portrayed in that (mostly fictional) story on TLC. People trust stations like TLC, and alot of people, including people I know will accept something they watch on there as a factual account, much the same way as I do when I watch the history channel. People expect that TLC, Discovery, and History channels are going to bring them the facts, and only someone versed in the topic of the day would be able to dispute things said on those channels. It makes me wonder how many shows on those channells had fabricated or specutalive information in them and I didnt even suspect till I saw a program on something I know something about allready.
