They USED to be plumbers, but then they quit to focus 100% on their tv
show. So why does Syfy still introduce the episodes with those *fake*
camera shots of Jay and Grant fixing toilets or installing pipes?
Syfy must think we're stupid.

I find it particularly ironic since in "Academy" the guys strongly
emphasized honesty and integrity. There's nothing honest about
setting-up fake plumbing scenes.

Opening (and closing) credits are normally still controlled
and updated by MARKETING. They don't see the need to change it yet.

And yet, talk to any of the ghost hunting groups here in New
England and all of them will state that TAPS are sell-outs and hacks
of the worst quality.

Go figure.

Are plumbers known for being being honest? Ha ha

It is simply breathtaking to watch the glee and abandon with which
the liberal media and the Angry Left have been attempting to turn
our military victory in Iraq into a second Vietnam quagmire. Too bad
for them, it's failing.
