Oh, fuck that noise.

[apocalypsos]

So you might have heard about the whole debacle with ABC and Good Morning America, in which they turned down Adam Lambert at the last minute because they claimed his performance on the AMAs showed him to be "unpredictable on live TV" (an accusation which requires him to be too galactically stupid to tell the difference between a morning news show and a music awards show airing in the evening), aaaaaand then they turned around and sign Chris Brown, currently the poster child for beating the shit out of your girlfriend.

Who wants to complain? 'Cause I did. Luckily, astolat did us the favor of finding out where you can leave a message:

TO CALL ABC TO COMPLAIN: 1-818-460-7477, hit 1 on first menu, 2 on second menu, 1 on third menu, then 466 for the GMA mailbox and leave a message.

Two things to keep in mind before they call:

1. If you yell and curse, they'll delete your message.
2. They only give you about thirty seconds to talk.

My paycheck started getting direct deposited today! Woohoo! This means I have to do absolutely nothing when it comes to dealing with the temp agency, since the company I'm working for has a deal with them that they'll take our timecards over to the office for us.

So what marathons are we looking at on TV today? I know White Collar is this afternoon and Deadliest Catch is all day, but what else is there? I have nowhere to go and nothing to do until this afternoon, and I'm only two chapters away from finishing Heroine Addiction.

Seriously? Seriously? Fuck you, ABC.

Band of Brothers is on Spike all day, if you're not feeling quite emotionally raw enough?

When Brittany and Madonna were "unpredictable on live TV" it didn't loose them any gigs.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

That's because when they did it, it was hot.

Seriously, I actually heard a local radio DJ say as much the other day. He also said that no one male or female finds two hot guys kissing to be the least bit hot. I was thiiiiiiis close to calling in and saying, "Oh, honey ... no."

[myniamh.livejournal.com]

Until someone does call and educate them, or just get them too google 'slash' they will never learn. :(

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I was going to call and tell them to google slash, but he wouldn't listen. This guy's notoriously conservative and blatantly sexist, which is irritating as hell considering he's the most popular DJ on the most popular top 40 station in the area. Every teenager in a hundred-mile radius listens to that stubborn ignorant douche.

Oh. My. God.

*off to find my phone and channel Zoe*

Often when people like this guy (judging from the below comment, I'm hazarding a guess) hear about slash or girls liking guys kissing, they just think the women involved are freaks and/or liars.

But also: He also said that no one male or female finds two hot guys kissing to be the least bit hot LOL I like to think this guy is overstating the case a bit for personal denial reasons.

And it's on SPIKE, the men's channel, because women don't watch "Band of Brothers" *snicker*

[mayatawi.livejournal.com]

My mother was very bemused to discover that Spike was actually showing some quality TV!

[anne-jumps.livejournal.com]

Yesterday they just sort of randomly stopped after "The Last Patrol" and started showing wrestling....

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the downside of watching it on Spike is getting the sexist commercials to go with it.

[anne-jumps.livejournal.com]

It wasn't sexist, but they followed one of my favorite scenes with Spike commercial with a guy talking about how he learned that he can freeze his farts and smell them later.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Yup, just spotted that one. *makes face*

[cmstephens.livejournal.com]

If you're really bored, there's the incomprehensible pairing of James Bond (in two-day marathon form) and Sci-Fi (I refuse to call that network by what I refer to as its 'slave name').

[denorios.livejournal.com]

So hang on, a gay kiss on TV is okay as long as its between two women, 'cause, you know, that's not gay, it's hot, right?

Fuck off, ABC, fuck right off.

[sabra-n.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHAHA.


Ha.

[anne-jumps.livejournal.com]

In the scores of people in the fandom I only recall knowing three men. But what that's impossible because it's war miniseries what is this I don't even

[musyc]

Oh, that's an intelligent move, ABC.

[dangerusliasons.livejournal.com]

It's always nice when your paycheck goes directly into your checking account, *grin* and yes, ABC is stupid. We've known this for a while now.
