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.

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?

Please help me to understand. I'm so mad that I'm going to bed.
