Who thinks rapper Bow Wow Sucks?

i know alot of people (mostly younger girls) like him, but in my opinion i think he is just coming up with the same crappy puppy love songz, he has nothing else to talk about... i think after he reaches an older age his career is done if he doesn't find something to "say" because he is going to be too old to attract his young girl audience.

Who thinks rapper Bow Wow Sucks?
you're right it is the teenage girls who love him. he's just another "pretty" face within the music scene who is just popular for his looks because i dont think he's even a good rapper. if you compare him to the really good rappers of today, he's definitely no common, talib kwali, lupe fiasco, nas... know what im saying?? so yeah, i agree he does suck. maybe he should just stick to the acting... even though he sucks at that too.
Reply:I DO! I DO!

Reply:I don't think he sucks, he just lost his touch. When he first came out, he was okay but now i'm just tired of hearing him.
Reply:yes i agree alot some people just suck lol

Holy Moley!?

Daniel Radcliffe is doing a broadway play. The story is he is on the run because he blinded 6 horses. There is a s-x scene and Daniel throughout the play is completley nude! I know you girls are probably excited, but when you consider his target audience is this appropriate? Maybe I'm the idiot, but I think Daniel and his target audience(young teen girls) are too young still to be doing this. What do you think?

Holy Moley!?
I agree with you, I have a hard time understanding the necessity for all the nudity, violence %26amp; foul language in the theatre %26amp; in the movies. But I suppose it's because it's what the producers think the public will go for, and greed has taken over ethics. Sadly, it's all about the money.

dont really mind tbh he's lovely! minus the snail trail lol

Do most Democrats find Adultery amusing?

December 8, 2007





ATLANTA -- Civil rights icon Andrew Young says Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is too young and lacks the support network to ascend to the White House.


In a media interview posted online, Young also quipped that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton has her husband behind her, and that ''Bill is every bit as black as Barack.''





''He's probably gone with more black women than Barack,'' Young said of former President Clinton, drawing laughter from a live television audience. Young, 75, was quick to follow his comment on Bill Clinton with the disclaimer, ''I'm clowning.''

Um, ok...

Do most Democrats find Adultery amusing?
Amusing and forgiven if a Dem does it, but oh, the horrors if you have a Republican in the same situation. They will denounce the sin over and over again and call for castration.





But if it's a Dem, (cough, Clinton) he is just being one of the "good ol' boys, meanin' no harm."





Then some ask how immorality affects you? Think about it!

Reply:I'd say they don't find adultery amusing, just less significant than starting wars in which tens of thousands of innocent people die for no good reason.
Reply:It's only wrong if a conservative does it. Otherwise, a party is in order to celebrate their diversity, or the definition of adultery is changed....
Reply:Depends on the context. For instance when a conservative hypocrite like Gingrich or Guiliani talks about family values while giving his latest mistress a bit on the side - yes that is downright hilarious.
Reply:I think they look past it with not much concern. My problem with Bill is that it was not a one time shot. He has been a womanizer all his adult life. Hillary is looking past that for she wants the power of being the President.
Reply:Yes, and so does most of the world. Why is it that conservatives want to tell me what my morality should be. Here's a frickin news flash....there is no such thing as a shared morality on planet earth!!!!! What's moral to one is immoral to another. No one agrees on everything. Morality is subjective NOT objective, and it certainly doesn't have the same measure from person to person, democrat to democrat, or even republican to republican. Some people are religious, some are religious zealots, some people don't go to church, some people don't go often but still go, still others don't believe in god. Another example, some people don't cheat on their wives, some do it once, some do it all the time, some feel guilty, some don't. Why can't you just mind your own business, and stop worrying about what other do with there genitals. How does this effect your everyday life??? Why are you worried about who Bill Clinton puts his penis into??? If your neighbor is secretly having an affair with another woman, do you get demoted at work, do you kids get kicked out of school, does your wife leave you, how the hell does this effect you? You wonder if a democrat finds adultery amusing? NO, I don't find it amusing, that's why I don't cheat on my wife. However, I'm smart enough to know it's of absolutely no consequence to me what you or someone else chooses to do with their goodies. I'm tired of this conservative morality crap, you guys need a damn hobby.

Elite XC deal could change MMA with CBS deal





http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/news;_ylt=At...





The entire landscape of mixed martial arts changed today. Maybe.





The announcement that CBS will broadcast live Elite XC shows on Saturday nights in prime time is potentially the biggest deal in the history of the sport in North America.





But no matter what is said about a multi-year commitment and four shows per year, when it comes to television, like everything, it will live and die by the ratings.





“The sport of MMA airing on CBS is the single biggest thing to happen to the sport,” saidElite XC promoter Gary Shaw. That sounds like a promoter over hyping his latest announcement, but if the show is successful, that’s exactly what it will be.





But it’s going to take a huge promotional effort by the network and the company to build the event and make it fly.





Even the most-watched Ultimate Fighting Championship event in history, the Sept. 8 show headlined by Quinton Jackson vs. Dan Henderson in a UFC-Pride light heavyweight championship unification match, drew 4.7 million viewers. While those are great numbers for cable television, they don’t come close to what would be a desirable audience number for CBS, even on a Saturday night.





Within the Male 18-34 age group, the big show UFC numbers would be successful on a network level, but MMA at this point has proven to have a narrow reach. It doesn’t do well with older people. It doesn’t do badly with women within the 18-34 group, but for network prime time success, you need to draw strongly in more than one age group.





Boxing’s much-lauded “Contender” series failed on the network level. World Wrestling Entertainment programming, far more popular on cable television than MMA, was successful on NBC in the 80s, but drew poor numbers the past two years in a similar prime time slot with the revival of Saturday Night’s Main Event.





The first Elite XC show, which is tentatively scheduled for April 26th and likely headlined by Kimbo Slice, will either be the most watched MMA event ever in the United States, or it will be a failure. One could make a strong argument that above and beyond UFC’s first live television special in 2005, where Forrest Griffin and Stephan Bonnar became instant stars by having almost the perfect match at the perfect moment for the sport, this is the most important night, going forward, in the sport’s U.S. history.





If the shows get poor ratings, the entire sport will be stigmatized with the idea that it has its cult popularity and is simply cable TV fare. It will be a huge negative perception blow for a sport which, with its phenomenal growth over the past few years, has been written up as the next NASCAR. Conversely, successful numbers, particularly if they maintain, will entrench MMA as a major sport in this country.





“Mixed martial arts is one of the fastest growing sports in the country and a wildly popular entertainment vehicle for upscale, young adult audiences,” said Kelly Kahl, Senior Executive Vice President of CBS Primetime. “It’s original programming for Saturday night; it’s live, creating an event-atmosphere; and it’s something that hasn’t been seen on network television, until now.”





It’s not a surprise that CBS made a deal for MMA. Both CBS and NBC negotiated for MMA programming for months. CBS’ interest in UFC predated the writers’ strike, while NBC’s interest picked up with the idea of looking for new live programming during the strike. That CBS went with Elite XC over the established UFC is a surprise, and is believed to have happened because Dana White wouldn’t compromise on giving the network control of the broadcast.





White noted earlier this week, before the deal was announced, that he wasn’t going to sign a bad deal for the company, even with a network station. The control issue also likely cost UFC a deal with HBO last year. UFC’s strategy of playing hardball and trying to get the deal on its terms simply wasn’t going to work with a network, but the gamble was that a big player wouldn’t take the chance with an organization that has nowhere near the name recognition and level of mainstream stars.





Because Showtime, part owner of Elite XC, is part of the Viacom family, which owns CBS, they fell into a deal that as a fledgling group, gives them a level of exposure they couldn’t afford to turn down.





“I don’t know why they didn’t get it,” said Gary Shaw, promoter of Elite XC. “If I had to guess, I’d say that it was Dana White. I don’t know that. I don’t worry about the UFC. If the prom queen wants to go out with me, I don’t ask why she isn’t dating the quarterback. I just show up at 8 p.m. at her door. I’ve said all along I think the UFC is great.





“I like the Fertittas and Marc Ratner (UFC Vice President of Regulatory Affairs) is like a brother to me. But the problem is no fighter can be bigger than Dana White or the UFC. For us, the fighters will always be the biggest stars.”





Shaw’s most successful MMA event was the Feb. 16 show in Miami, which drew a 1.9 rating on Showtime. It was the highest rating for a non-UFC MMA event in history, largely due to the unique Kimbo Slice vs. Tank Abbott main event. But that’s only 522,000 viewers, and they’ll need ten times that audience number, if not more, to do competitive numbers on CBS.





The show also sold out the 6,187-seat BankUnited Center in Miami, which benefited from Slice being a hometown star. For CBS events, Shaw said they are looking at running 15,000-seat arenas with the new Prudential Center in Newark being among the venues under consideration for the debut show.





Most of the details of the deal have not been made official. CBS will be paying Elite XC a fee per show. They haven’t agreed to a time slot, although with affiliate news commitments, it would have to be either 8-10 p.m. or 9-11 p.m. The broadcast team hasn’t been agreed to, but both sides will have input into the decision. Shaw said that once the date and the venue are finalized, they would begin finalizing the matches.





Shaw said he expected the shows to be similar to the Elite XC events on Showtime.





“It’s the same type of show,” he said. “I think we do a very good production with competitive fights.”





Another key is that, with so many people watching the first show and presumably so much hype, that if someone makes a good showing, they can become an instant star, similar, to what happened to Griffin stemming from the first Ultimate Fighter finals. The impact of a great match will be multiplied tenfold.





An unknown fighter who does a sensational finish will almost instantly become one of the best known fighters in the country. A genuine match of the year could end up being the most talked about fight in history. Similarly, the affects of a poor show will be magnified like never before.





But it also adds to an over-saturation problem. UFC is producing roughly two shows per month. Elite is now adding four CBS dates to the 16 or so Showtime dates they had planned for this year. That’s a lot of events in a sport with a finite number of stars, and in which the stars can only fight a few times per year.





Even with the deal giving his company the largest television exposure in a business where television exposure is the life blood, Shaw doesn’t feel Elite XC is on the verge of leapfrogging UFC as the top promotion.





“No, I’m a realist,” he said. “UFC is No. 1. I am Pepsi to their Coke, Avis to their Hertz.”

I totally agree with you but there are a few problems that must be ironed out first.


Problems llike the fact most fights are at casinos because casinos guareentee money and venues. Since boxing has 1 minute rest breaks, it is going to be difficult to find sponsers who could plug their ads while trainers are yelling at fighters instructions. think about wrestling. the numbers are great but the demographics are not always the best for pushing. you won't see lexus showing a commercial during WWE,nor will you see high prices on ads. thats why wrestling is on USA and not CBS anymore. (monday night raw). The networks would have to actually have a interest in the sport to push it. with network television its about numbers and ratings. if the fights are not geting ratings then they will pull the plug. if the fights are horrible match ups for a rising star to pad their records, people will turn the channel. Think about the klitchko-imbragomov fight being on FOX. by the 9th round people would have stop watching it. like a football game where its 34-0 first quarter, the numbers will slide and the cost for ads the next go around will be less, because of that. Sure you would watch it on network for exposure, but networks are not fans of the sport, they are bidders.
Reply:Is that a question or a dissertation? R u doing ur Senior Exit Project? U have a good hook tho.
Reply:CBS owns Showtime so it's no shock that this deal was made. CBS is only going to air four Elite XC events a year and the rest will be on Showtime. If boxing promoters were smart they would push for Friday Night Fights to sign some big names and air fights on ABC, since ESPN and ABC are both owned by Disney.
