Doing a YIS for "Television, I come up with this. A radio. What is the world coming to? |
I'm not much a TV person myself, but these ideas just make me want to throw my TV away even more. It's already taking up space and collecting dust, and now it's just a portal for utter crap? No.Network Name: Trading FOXes
Look at all the possible decoration ideas!
Description: I thought that was a clever name for about three seconds after I read it, and then realized how much thought really went into the name - NONE. Good job, guys! I'm sure a 5-year-old sniffing glue could think of a better name than that.
FOX wants to reach the audience that loves Trading Spaces, and While You Were Out as seen on TLC while still appealing to their largest audience - the 35-year-old male in Alabama living in a trailer home who makes $11,000 a year - and is going to cater to them as well. Instead of trading homes, the contestants drive their neighbors trailer homes away into huge storms (AKA: Tornado chasing) and remodel them after they are completely wrecked by simply buying a new one. Again, FOX thinks this network is going to be a huge hit, but they don't seem to realize that Alabama isn't exactly in "Tornado Alley", and that people might actually get killed while doing this.Network Name: Teh Breaking News!!! Network
Breaking News 24/7! Nothing but this screen and some fancy music.
Description: Again, another stupid name made up by some l33t 16-year-old hacker who likes exclamation points and cannot spell the word "The" properly. TBNN (Teh Breaking News!!! Network) features non-stop, commercial free breaking news to its viewers. Reading further down FOX's description, they say that the only breaking news that they will cover is from the Middle-East, and, of course, any news that people pay them to air on their network.
I take it FOX doesn't already know that we have about eight of those types of networks already on air that have non-stop Iraq breaking news action which consists of "ANOTHER US SOILDER HAS DIED FROM AN IRAQI MASTERMIND WITH A GUN!". Instead of having just one of those eight networks, FOX said that they could even reach more people by providing nothing but Iraq news to their viewers, bringing up their Talley to two out of nine.
Network Name: ComNet
Description: FOX delivers with a name that doesn't sound like a retarded kid with one eye and two teeth didn't make up. "ComNet" is a network devoted to nothing but the latest and greatest commercials that are on the air today. Ok, maybe the name isn't that bad, but who the hell thought of this idea for an entire network devoted to the "latest and greatest commercials" on TV? We already have several channels like that, you know... MTV, MTV2, and BET. The all show about 10 minutes of actual programming, and another 50 minutes of commercials to pay off their bookie, or god knows whatever else they have to pay off. Who knows, maybe even male strippers!
