A tv program created in 1972 to more educate people about economic topics. If you turned to the channel, you were bound to learn sonthing new. But that changed quickly.

By early the 90's the company who owned TLC filed bankruptcy and the discovery channel bought TLC. Instead of making more educational shows, like you would think they would (hence the name DISCOVERY channel), they started to make reality shows. No big deal. A few reality shows isn't so bad. But no. They COMPLETLEY stopped shows about education and before you know it, TLC turned into a channel about dwarfs, morbidly obese people, people with very abnormal addictions such as sniffing used diapers and bathing in gasoline, VERY cheap families, and last but not least, a fuck ton of Karens about their everyday life with their "terrible husband" or some bullshit along those lines. The Learning Channel, or as it used to be, is only good at giving you AIDS everytime you accidentally switch to it, and as you start to see a couple with like 10 daughters or grown woman eating rocks or couch cusions, you slowly grow more and more addicted to TLC.
"Hey man did you see what happened on TLC's My Strange Addictions show?

"My Stange Addictions? On The Learning Channel? Doesn't TLC teach people about cirtain topics?"

"Not anymore. TLC now is a bunch of "reality shows" about morbidly obese people, very cheap people, and people who have addictions to bathing in bleach and having sex with cars"

A match type in the WWE that allows the competitors to only use tables, ladder, and chairs. This match type is usually performed at a PPV event. This kind of match is won when one of the competitors sets up a ladder in the middle of the ring, climbs it, and obtains the item that is suspended above the ring (contract, championship title, etc). Once the item is obtained, the match is over.
