The History Channel is airing a programme about the Dark Ages, the promo for which can be seen here. The promo finishes by describing the Dark Ages as "600 years of godless, inhuman behavior".
Well, call me Mr Pedantic, but the reason why the Dark Ages were so horrific was because the church ruled Europe with an iron fist. Calling this inhuman behavior "godless" is absolutely inaccurate.
"600 years of God-inspired, inhuman behavior" would be better.
People who think that history should at least bear some resemblance to actual events can email the History Channel at thc.viewerrelations@aetv.com.
I did.
