I urge you to take ABC's "Downfall" off the air.  Creating sensationalist television programming for the sake of making money is wrong.  People don't want to watch perfectly good items getting destroyed.  Here are just a few of the thousands of common opinions:

"We wonder why people hate us?  It’s because in the middle of a recession we’re creating game shows where we destroy $40,000 cars for no reason."

"Watching the new ABC show "Downfall". It won't last. Reminds me of how much crap we wast in this culture."

"Just tuned into a pointlessly wasteful game show called Downfall. They basically just destroy stuff."

"I don't like this downfall show. Why are they breaking all this stuff? Its wasteful. Somebody could use that stuff."

Please take this show off the air and replace it with something inspirational.  You have such an opportunity to create meaningful programming using the most influential media.
