yep, don't make me start on BET and black advertising targets, that's ridiculous. you wonder why some are so huge and fat. drink wrong, eat wrong, no excercise, etc. same for many groups

come now JazX. BET is 1 channel amongst hundreds of others that do the same thing. Go after a target market. My son doesn't watch BET, but within the 2 hours max TV that he is allowed he gets plenty of SPAM from General Mills and McDonald's. Case in point, when my son was 3, he had never been to a fast food restaurant. Yet one day when we were in the ATM drive thru by a bank next to a McDonald's, he shouts "McDonald's!" and points to the golden arches. I was like "wtf?" and then realized he recognzed it from TV. Maybe my fault for letting him watch enough TV to conciously notice McDonald's, but damn, what branding power aka brainwashing that company has.
