BET

Seen on CNN.com's news ticker: "SPIKE LEE CRITICIZES BET IN COLLEGE SPEECH, SAYS IT LACKS SERIOUS ENTERTAINMENT & PROMOTES IGNORANCE W/RAP; NETWORK RESPONDS IT'S ABOUT MORE THAN VIDEOS & COMEDIES".

So for fun, I jump over to BET to see what's on at the moment: Disorderlies. Q.E.D.

Not Just BET

Well, having Spike rant against BET is like me ranting about SciFi not having very much Sci or Fi.

Seriously, what does "The Dream Team" and "Crossing Over" having to do SciFi? One seems to be very daytime talk show, Springeresque even and the other is about taking advantage of morons...wait they both do that.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

What is BET?

A tv station, I take it? Or what?

    - ask (I have a tv, but not one with a tuner (so I guess it's not really a tv))

Black Entertainment Television. I echo what Spike Lee said about it ... except I am not allowed to, because I am not black. ;-)

There you go again -- denying your heritage.
