Spike lee SUX!

[videoholic]

Viacom owns an absolute ton of networks.  VH1, Nickelodean, BET, All MTV networks, Showtime, CBS, CMT, UPN, TV Land, TNN.

And then there is Kingworld (an absolute goldmine of syndicated programming) and infinity which is the same for radio.

They bought out Blockbuster and now sponsor all pay per view on Direct TV.

Oh yeah, and they also own Simon and Shuster so all of you Harry Potter dweebs will be giving them cash probably midnight tonight.



Why they would think Spike was a good name without checking it out first is rather stupid.

Spike Lee is a Knicks fan, SFB.  

Everything about TNN sucks ass.  Sometimes it seems like it\'s run by brain dead chipmunks.  Have you seen their billboards?  It\'s a picture of Patrick Stewart next to some wrestling chick.  Brilliant design, it looks like a 5-year old made it.

They should just call it "Redneck TV" or "Cracker TV" or something.  I believe that\'s what Spike Lee really has a problem with.  Not just that some corporation is going to profit from his name, but that it\'s a redneck network known for shit like wrestling and monster trucks.

So Coredweller, because Spike and you both think you\'re on a pedestal, you think you can choose what is or isn\'t good programming for people?

Spike Lee sucks this much:

TNN show Star Trek TNG you say?

that makes them OK in my book and I side with them. Spike Lee annoys me to no end.

Although I must agree that SpikeTV as a name sucks beyond words. Makes me not think of a television station nor mister Spike Lee, it makes me think that Spike from Buffy The Vampire Slayer has his own TV station....which is wierd.

I\'m with Coredweller.

BTW. Viacom sucks. I hope they\'ll go bankrupt. Hell, I wish every stupid TV network/syndicate would go bankrupt. Perhaps then we\'d get rid of stupid ad breaks every 10 mins and retarded programming.

Yeah, with no media you\'d have no media to bitch about.

Doesn\'t sound so bad to me.

Honestly, what\'s worth watching anyway these days? You\'re bound to drop a few IQ points just turning on the TV. Big Brother, Survivor, The Osbornes, MTV etc. etc. etc. Quality programmes are few and hard to come by.

Spike:  "Hi I\'m Spike Lee, remember me?  I wrote jungle fever and a house party movie or something and then some stuff about basketball.  PAY ATTENTION TO ME.  LOOK AT ME, STOP HATING"

To review:  No one is trying to tell them what programming to offer.  The dispute is over what name the network will use.  I wouldn\'t want them using my name, because I think most of their programming is shit.  That\'s just my opinion.  Maybe if they named it BozcoTV, you wouldn\'t have a problem with it.  Instead of saying "your view is wrong," I\'ll say you\'re entitled to your opinion.  

Yes, it all comes down to an opinion but I still view yours as just WRONG, but thats just me.  And I know what the dispute was over, but I also know how you viewed it.

so I guess my drive by shooting wasn\'t succesful then.

give me Wesley Snipes and Will Smith anyday (in a non homosexual way - we all know what goes on in MPTheory\'s head lol)

don\'t know why I said that...probably cause Will Smith and Wesley Snipes are cooler

pffff.....Will Smith sucks @ss

VS


A crappy cable network that is currently best known for airing Baywatch, Star Trek: TNG, and Wrestling.

And you side with TNN?  

Whatever.  That gets a great big one of these:  :rolleyes:

Yeah i with him. I really dont care about the lawsuit. The idea for spike tv isnt really kool but i like spike lee a lot and his movies are great. Bamboozled was f*ing great and i have no particular intrest in his personal life or small actions, so as far as im concerned, hes kool. Plus, i dont really watch tv or tnn anyway

I went with "don\'t care", but I lean more towards spike if only cause TNN playes such utter crap (except for TNG)

The fact that someone is able to stake claim to their name is sad.  This is almost as bad as Abdul-Jabbar or however you spell it wouldn\'t let a person of the same last name wear his own name on his football jersey.  ****ing ridiculous
