The New BET
I was watching Soul Food on BET and a commercial just pissed me off. The commercial is for ExtenZe, a pill that's supposed to make men bigger "down there". The commercial is produced and starring the white Porno producer and actor named Ron. Don't ask me how I know that he's a porn star! The issue is that this commercial is on Black Entertainment Television(Even though it's not black owned anymore) at 12:45am. I'm pretty sure that there are a lot of people like me that don't want to see that CHITT!!! What is going to be the future of BET now that Porn producers and actors are being allowed to air their commercials? This really has me pissed. Why is it that when an outsider takes over a black owned business, they turn it into something that they think black people want or need? :confused:
Please help me to understand. I'm so mad that I'm going to bed. :mad: :mad: |
Re: The New BET
Well it's a matter of demographic. Have you watched BET at night lately? All kinds of soft core porn on there. So that commercial is reaching out to the teenage boys who only have basic cable, lol.
Granted, I dont watch much tv anymore, but BET has not been interesting to me pretty much since they introduced that Uncut show. It is soooo demeaning to black women in my view that I can not support that channel by watching ANY of their programming. This is all to say of course, that that commercial does not surprise me.

Ooooh, we were watching at the same time. I was hoping and wishing it was the local station that inserted that commercial somehow. It was only like midnight - dang!!! At least let it be 3am before showing such rubbish. |

BET has been disrespecting black men and women with their programming long before it wasnt black owned. But as long as they continue to get folx to tune in and watch their programming...they will be doing the same ol -ish!

They have been showing tat commerical almost every night around midnight with the Girls Gone Wild tape, which actually bothers me becuase there are no sistahs in the tape only white girls. But anyway, I have caught Uncut and the last time I saw it had Ludacris's video "P*ssy Poppin" and I must say that it totally disgusted me. I haven't watched Uncut since then. Does MTV run things like this and aren't they owned by the same company?

The fact that there are no black women on a GGW tape has yet to bother me.
Although anyone who has every been to Greekfest in Philly, or back in the day at Freaknik know there are plenty who would jump they skanky butts at the chance. |

Hey, you know, you havta wonder...
The programming on BET is what the "powers that be" APPROVES what most of those of African desent need to be watching... Just another form of enslavement... Folks don't call it the "Boob Tube" fo nuthin'... |
Hubby just called me from work (booting me off the computer for a minute) to tell me to turn to BET and see the commerical. I was like :eek: then I was :mad: . What kind of hot mess was that?? It was just disgusting to say the least. I bet you won't see that isht on VH1 or MTV, but they'll show it on our (at least it used to be ours) channel.
When is that new black network coming out? I'm sick of BET. |
What new black network is coming out?

Do we really have the capability to turn the dayum TV off??? Really??? :confused: Because when it is a known fact that certain flashes of light in a specific colors that are timed and synchronized at a specific oscillation and frequency... When it is scientifically shown that the sounds can be mesmerizing and enhanced to activate the major neurological receptors involved in epilepsy--such as the cannabinoids, opiods and the NMDA receptors... Then, if brainwashing, or at least adding to the level of addiction to TV is enhanced on BET, is it possible that some folks that do not contain the specific single nucleotide polymorphisms to fight against that addiction can be readily attracted to such a flagrant display called entertainment? It is liken to those that get the adrenaline rush when they commit violence... Then one just has to watch it on TV without actually commiting the crime... But that is if one buys that concept... Do you watch any TV and have cable? |

You have spewed a lot of big words...but do you really and truly believe that people are watching these types of programming because of some type of brainwashing/hypnotic effect?? So I guess that's why folx watch porn too?? Cause BET is a step away from porn these days. I think all of those reasons are actually tools of incompetence that people use to excuse their reasoning for watching certain programs. Society has condoned and accepted all types of immoral and tragic behavior.... and what's seen on BET is only a symptom of the larger problems. |
