What the 'Hell' is going on at BET?

When Viacom (parent company to MTV and VH-1) acquired BET (Boring Entertainment Television) some years ago, I just knew BET was in for an extreme makeover like no other.


But clearly that wasn't the case!

Tonight is the premiere of Hell Date. The prank/date show will air tonight at 7:30 PM (ET/CT) and subsequently weeknights at the same time.

The premise of the show: Women and men alike in search of the perfect date will be set up on a blind date with someone who meets the criterias of their dreams. Or so they think. Truth is it will be an actor ready to take them on a date from 'hell'.

Note to BET: It's time to step up! VH-1 and MTV are already in the business of showing black people making fools of themselves. So if you are going to follow suit then you need to come with it!

BET stands for Black Exploitation Television.

Or as Aaron McGruder once put it, Buts Every Time.

B.E.T.(Bad Every Time) Needs to be cut off the air..notice their emphasis on supporting the worst music and artists around. Basically this station supports career losers ,reefer heads,and black folks who want to live they and their children's lives as "gangsters"..a far cry from a true mob outfit...
