Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

pretty funny article. many valid, if not 'PC', points made.


when will the cable channel, WET, be launched?
Isn't that the Women's network? Or is that Lifetime...television for women. I think WET has a better ring to it!
Good Eelbor, Not sure how it helps me in politics but a great name for a soft core porn network. I think that is a great Direct TV channel idea lets make it happen. I will to the hit and watch all the films and we will let Brum do the interviews. I will also entertain the female stars and NLA can entertain the male stars. Kick the network off in a Vegas strip club. Tell your wife it is business. Lars can attend as the DD if he returns all the ladies to my hotel

Business plan done UB can sell the stock
:cheers:

The body knows what fighters don't: how to protect itself. A neck can only twist so far. Twist it just a hair more and the body says, "Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing... Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism.

I think Bri was referring to CMT.

"Liberal, shmiberal. That should be a new word. Shmiberal: one who is assumed liberal, just because he's a professional whiner in the newspaper. If you'll read the subtext for many of those old strips, you'll find the heart of an old-fashioned Libertarian. And I'd be a Libertarian, if they weren't all a bunch of tax-dodging professional whiners." - Berkeley Breathed

Well...Take the four major networks, add in USA, TNT,TBS, Showtime, and HBO, and tell me, how many minorities are headlining shows on these networks?

I have no idea, but I will take you on ANY BET THAT YOU CHOOSE that if you were able to figure out that number, it would be a higher proportion than that of the general population of black people to white people. You want to take that one?

What kind of bet are we talking about? Terms? Notice that I said headlining shows. Not as a token minority sidekick, like Wanda sykes on "The new adventures of Old Christine."

I like Aaron's chances if you include Monday Night Football, and the NBA game of the week.

No I am talking about scripted shows where the producers and network execs have the choice to put minorites on the air.

They have no choice on the sports shows. WHite guys can't play sports. B)

not sure how you define "headline" but if you are talking about one of the main characters, than you will lose in a landslide. We could also do the same thing with commercials in any station, and you will get your ass handed to you. Our society tries to over-correct itself in terms of racial equality all the time...to act as if white males have any sort of advantage is completely absurd. Let me know if you want the bet, and you can set the wager.

crackers are absolutely forbidden to be shown on BET.


let me know if there are any channels that blackball. at the least there are tokens shown on every program.

I might start the WET channel with David Duke as my program director

By main character, I mean someone that could be considered for an Emmy for best actor or actress. That is the definiton of someone who headlines a show.
