A show caught my eye while flipping through the channels the other night. It was VIP. Damn that’s some good programming. Fine acting. Developed plots (way more than it’s predecessor Bay Watch – they’ve come a long way from slow motion running).
It’s absolutely horrible.
Actually, it was the advertising that caught my attention, honest. I watched enough of the show to see two commercial breaks (you try and watch that much, it’s not as easy as it sounds). All but one of the commercials during the breaks were for video games, x-box and ps2 mostly. Pamela looks as much like a cartoon character as anyone (see also WWE), so it’s no wonder why puberty boys are the target market; it’s the natural progression since they’ve just outgrown cartoons – and well then there’s the raging hormone thing.
ahhhh the slow motion running…
Hey Tim,
Finally got the website made finnaly made a website, check it out!!! This is the address http://sherm.20megsfree.com/burgerking.swf
Ding, fries are done! I didn’t think you needed a second job?
I don’t know that the target market is actually pubescent males. I’ve noticed that most of the gamer crowd that actually has the money to spend on new platforms and games to go with them is male programmers in their mid-twenties to early thirties.
Not that the kids can’t beg their parents, but the other market is much more stable. Of course, they’re all making the games too, so I’m not sure how that works out.
And I’ve never seen VIP, but thank you for giving me just one more reason to be happy that I do not get reception. My TV is for movies only!
