does anyone actually donate to UPN? i mean how to they stay in business

EchoSex · Nov 13, 2005, 08:58 PM // 20:58

I always thought their logo was this:

"UPN: Where all da white people at?"

d4nowar · Nov 13, 2005, 08:59 PM // 20:59

Are we all thinking of the same UPN?

The UPN I know of shows reruns of all of the other channels... and shows about (Edit: Maybe I shouldn't post that...)

isn't their logo

"Sponsered by viewers like you."? or something around those lines?

Yeah... Thats OPB, for me. Oregon Public Broadcasting... But obviously thats only in oregon... Either you also live in Oregon, or there are multiple public broadcasting channels out there with the same motto.

"Viewers Like You" is PBS for me.

d4nowar · Nov 13, 2005, 09:09 PM // 21:09

Ah yes, OPB = PBS. PBS is public broadcasting system (I think... maybe station) and OPB is the Oregon division of it.

Ok it all makes sense to me now.

reminds me of all the stations that would say funny stuff like that because they needed funding that bad...

Old Dood · Nov 13, 2005, 11:25 PM // 23:25

Well is was a BS "station". America Tonight was a satire on Late Night talk shows. It was on around the early 1980's I think. Martin Mull was Barth Gimble. But I always remembered that motto....

Google it...

talking about PBS? no comment

master_ranger_matt · Nov 13, 2005, 11:28 PM // 23:28

dude, it would take me a year to read this whole thing

EchoSex · Nov 13, 2005, 11:29 PM // 23:29

Heeeeh :3 It was originally UPN, the brothah from another mothah to BET. You can just imagine a bunch of white guys sitting around in buisness suits, saying: "How do we encourage a younger genertion to watch our crap?"

Avari Zi · Nov 13, 2005, 11:30 PM // 23:30

Night doesn't watch TV either.

Probably has to do with something about getting 2 or 3 channels

Avari Zi · Nov 13, 2005, 11:38 PM // 23:38

cable TV is just more channels of crap, but good quality crap

Techie · Nov 13, 2005, 11:59 PM // 23:59

I barely even watch TV that much anymore heh :P

hmmmm....
I just came back from best buy after playing the XBOX 360!

It's a peice of crap. The call of duty demo looks just like my PC version of it.
King kong was the best looking demo out there though. It felt like a real big dinosaur was chasing me.

I will not buy it. PS3 and Nintendo for me.
