| What, you thought you were going to get through the entire month of February without us talking some Black History Month? Heck no, we just figured that if we waited until the end of the month, no one would notice. Yup, race is still a sensitive issue in this country, there’s no doubt about it. Even now, with our nation’s first African-American President, it seems like we’re back in the 1950’s, what with all the insensitive and politically incorrect commentary on cable news, and the widespread shock that no one was shot and killed during the NBA All-Star Weekend festivities. | Delving into the race issue isn’t an easy thing to do. One thing we’re committed to around here is trying to take sensitive topics and lighten the mood whenever possible. Our point of view is 94% sarcasm, 5% legitimacy, and at least 8% perspiration, so if you have a problem with what we’re saying, kindly talk to the Management.
In fact, we’ve got a pretty bright vision for Black America’s future. Heck, we can even envision a time in the not-so-distant future when an African American wins gold at the Winter Olympics. Oh wait, that has already happened. |

| Between the dearth of original and/or imaginative programming, the excessive commercials with increased volume levels, and the borderline censorship of ideas and images deemed unsuitable for mass consumption, it’s no wonder that we’re turning our attention to the “Notworks.” In fact, we’ve compiled a fairly lengthy list of complaints beyond the aforementioned offenses, and it’s just not in our nature to hold anything back. Plus, American Idol auditions are over, and we hate Hasselhoff. | Not that it would take take much to dethrone the once reigning behemoth that WAS network television, but the fine folks at HBO have gone above and beyond the call of duty. Aside from a dreadful attempt to revive the now extinguished career of Phoebe from Friends and a few too many repeat screenings of Revenge of the Sith, HBO can do no wrong. This didn’t just start recently either, take a peak at this video from 1983. Lasers inside the O? Sheer genius. | |||
