SIXTY-DAMN-SIX PERCENT!!!

obviously, this study was conducted in regards to childhood obesity. as most folks know, there is an obesity epidemic in the US amongst our kids. however, black adults are also a part of this epidemic and you would think that BET would be more responsible in helping to fight this issue. BET says their target audience is between the ages of 18-34, but they know good and well more teenagers watch that damn channel than anyone else. i, for one, only tune on on fridays to catch a bootleg-ass blackbuster.


BET's 106 & Park w/ AJ & Free

106 & Park seems to be the most popular show (and it was much better w/ AJ & free) on that joint and with songs like "i'm in love with a stripper" on the countdown, ain't no grownups in their right minds watching that shit.

i ain't one to call anyone a sell-out, but if they ain't selling out, i don't know who is. and what makes it worse is i can't seem to find where they address this issue on their damn website. its all over news websites but their guilty asses don't even raise an eyebrow.

and all this shit just explains why i always get hungry as hell while watching BET. it's a conspiracy, i tell you!
