You know why it wont- cuz people dont want to see that type of stuff. Hey that guy is hooked on crack- thats not very entertaining.
Maybe if thy had a 3d crackhead eh?

The complaint was in reference to materialism. My point is materialism only bothers people when it is people they dont like showing things that the viewer doesnt have (or doesnt think the emcee in question shoould have). Are all those car commercials not an invitation to materialism? yeah so why arent we dissing the ROOTs for promoting VW...ummm.. ummm... or Sprite...ummmmm.
As far as the corner- without the capability of using profanity and a great deal of items like guns and or drugs and or drug use (these are not things that are accustomed for basic cable) the only way such a program could be fostered by BET channel is if it were a documentary and in that case documentaries arent considered "Entertaining." Besides we've already admitted that alot of people are opposed to seeing blacks depicted in such a fashion- we demand that BET stop showing it in one instance but applaud other instances. Its a good idea but whats BEt gonna do when they get hated on again for showing Black people on the corner?
