I always felt guilty. I think that's what they are going for. They specifically say "like you" not thank" you! " Somewhere there's a guy like me who's struggling to get buy watching a docuseries on bugs just like me and still writing a check to support this local station. I'm such a bum.

There was a Simpsons episode about this.

One of the lines was like “If you’re watching this and you didn’t donate, you’re basically a crook. A common thief.”

Then Homer calls in a fake donation and they show up at his door.
