Believe me, Lifetime IS "The Men Are Scum Channel". There are only three plot lines in all their offereings and the guy is always scum.
I'll take your word for it. I don't think I've actually stopped on it for more than 3 seconds.
Your tagline on the NYT - its funny - I live nowhere near NY and they've called me at least four times this year. I love telling them why they're being forced to solicit like crazy.
