Excedrin headache #2600 on the A&E network

I TOOK EXCEDRIN after watching an "Investigative Reports" episode about e-terror. No joke: my wife rummaged through her purse for the little green bottle. I yelled at the TV set almost non-stop for an hour.

Memo to self: buy more Excedrin.

Where do I begin? Michael Vatis talking about Solar Sunrise? Cantrell and Mitnick? Mojo's obvious selection for his outré appearance? Teenage hackers with enough brains to cause a nuclear meltdown? China's "Pas-de-Calais" deception about their infowar projects? (Don't even get me started.) The blurred HTML code and gyrating camera effects? The ad captandum vulgus narration?

"Investigative"? Kurtis Productions desperately needed a peer review process. (If they have one, it failed miserably.) Thank goodness this episode aired on the A&E network — where the A stands for Alka-Seltzer and the E stands for Excedrin.
