Someone Should Say Something

It's been a while but have you noticed that the WB (Where da Brothers) is now CW (Completely White). The WB's decision to eliminate even tanned caucasions was followed by a commensurate change in UPN 9 to MY9. Citing low ratings as the reason for re-branding, UPN blamed black people for its failure. UPN's new flagship show is Fashion House - an odd Frankestein of Morgan Fairchild and models vs. Bo Derrick and models. Having never seen the show I nonethless recommend thinking of Nip/Tuck style soft core porn (but for network TV) to get an idea. Having never seen Nip/Tuck I must add the special disclaimer that if there are any minorities on that show, remove them.

Last Halloween I encountered a young black woman handing out flyers for MY9 and told her it's sad that black peolple have been stricken from the air. She agreed but asked what anyone could do. I said It's a good thing that she got a job handing out flyers since she sure as hell isn't going to be on TV.

Well, I didn't really say that, but I thoght that someone should say something.
