Having lost my brother-in-law to a logging accident in oregon 3 years ago I find axeman to be in extreme poor taste. The loggers joke about the dangers and engage in dangerous behavior all the time, not to mention the distraction that the camera crews add. I think shows like this, and the crabbing show on the discover channel hurt the families who have lost people to dangerous professions, as well as make light of the danger that the workers are facing.
