BET will never change... Sly was a walking advertisement for "Just Say No to Drugs"... Mariah/Kanye were ROBBED... and someone needs to tell Ms. Aguilera that excessive runs do not come with Donny's "A Song For You". Argh... PS Michelle from Destiny's Child has my full permission to beat Tina Knowles with a bejeweled shoe. Her '72 wig was frightful at best. Lol *Applauding*

(I can forgive him for BAPS, because I just have a forgiving heart like that. And I liked Meteor Man.) Also, Reggie Hudlin is President of Entertainment for BET which means he does control the programming, scheduling, etc. Stepping in to defend Robert Townsend, director of:

They didn't want to come out of pocket for uninterrupted coverage. I think they would have covered it if they had ads to sell. They didn’t want to come out of pocket for uninterrupted coverage.

I was mistaken, and frankly had no clue who the Academy was. So, needless to say they can both kiss my ass. The RIAA for getting down on bootleggers, and NARAS for voting an album that even Bono was surprised won to the top of the 2006 totem pole. @builtfromwax: Thank you Mr. Wax (is it okay if I call you Mr. Wax?).

I've been a fan since The Five Heartbeats. And he's directed some alright movies. I can't name any right now, so maybe I'm losing that argument against him. @TAP: You know, I didn't expect it to be on BET but I wasn't looking for it either. However, their logic is what has me puzzled. The reason they came up with for NOT showing it seems just damn dumb. If you ain't gonna show it, don't show it, but don't come at me with no "informative, enriching" BS...especially since you are BET...and those aren't adjectives anybody would use in your favor. @Clarence: I think Reggie Hudlin is running things...though I have no concrete proof on that. If so though, you're right...he is slippin'. I think Debbie Lee is the CEO, or whatever she is, but Hudlin makes the programming decisions. And if he does...may he be subjected to hours of William Hung re-runs. @Vagitis: I actually like Robert Townsend. I’ve been a fan since The Five Heartbeats. And he’s directed some alright movies.
