History Channel Manages to Come Up with One More WWII Documentary

In a direct challenge to critics who claimed that the History Channel has left no aspect of World War Two unexploited, the network unveiled one more WWII documentary today. Entitled "Janitors: the Unsung Allied Heroes" the program documents in agonizing detail the minutia of janitorial work during the second world war. Covering everything from how Ike liked the dusting done to the type of toilet cleaning crystals responsible for reducing odor in rear echelon latrines, it is yet another remarkable work by the cable channel that brought America "Cooking Secrets of the Pacific Submarine Fleet" and "Frozen Hell: True Stories of the 445th Freezer Repair Detachment". Reportedly World War Two janitorial veterans have greeted the documentary with disdain. In a statement posted on his website, floorjockey.com, Lt. Colonel Art Slocum(ret), formerly of the 112th Janitorial Division had this to say:
"Sure the show was mind numbingly boring. But was it mind numbingly boring enough? Did they really capture the trauma of waxing the tile floor at fleet command, or the shellshock associated with scrubbing toilets under the constant rat-a-tat-tat of someone banging on the door to be let in? I don't think so. If some kid is watching this show and thinking he's getting a real taste of what it was like to be a war-time janitor, he's got another thing coming! America owes so much to the "retreating janitors" of the 112th, and this is all we get? A stinking documentary? This country makes me sick!"
For fans who missed the initial airing of this special, network executives have announced it will be available on DVD. Number 62,400 in thier "World War Two video library", it will soon come up for sale on the History Channel's website. Additionally, History Channel.com's troubleshooting section notes that if you're having trouble finding World War Two programming on the History Channel you should check behind your television to see if it's actually plugged in.
