Ugh, why the fuck am I watching this show. It's an episode of I Love You to Death, and all the participants are just fucking abhorrent asshole motherfuckers, or at least the show is designed to make the audience want them to die messily. I think I know how Oancitizen felt while watching Ken Park, now. >:P
Just complete, utter, and pure motherfucking bullshit this is. And it's made worse by the fact that, since this God-awful show is on LIFETIME instead of TruTV or I.D. where it belongs, the commercials are all ultra-cheery afternoon-daypart ads for things like...soap. And Applebees. And, well, having that shit on a show that makes Cold Case Files look like My Little Pony is just...jarring.
I actually like true-crime shows, most of the time, but something about this one is just really, really, really unpleasant.

For me, going to Michigan would mean heading up US 23 to where it pairs up with I-75.
The biggest problem with that is that much of US 23 between Columbus and Toledo still isn't a freeway, so you would hit stop-and-go pretty much the whole way up. Supposedly Interstate 73 will eventually come through Ohio and upgrade US 23 to a full freeway, but realistically that's never going to happen.

I remember wanting to buy it outright (what was then ABC Inc was a partner in A&E Television Networks, Lifetime's owner) and fixing it, but I had no idea how to go about that. And the network was worth several billion dollars.
AU: Yeah, the credits mention A&E specifically. And it'd still be a better fit, but...just...on most of the better shows like this, they don't show grisly re-enactments of the actual God damn murders. >:P And these were like 16 and 17 year old kids doing it, too, one of whom was played up as a complete psychopathic bitch.
And just what the fuck is it about small-town California, anyhow? Are they secretly trolls or something? It seems like every work I've ever seen that was set in a small town in California and wasn't written by John Steinbeck is filled with assholes!
Either way, I actually stopped watching shows like this for a while because while i enjoy the mystery component, some of them are just too upsetting, especially if I'm already emotionally vulnerable to start with (and especially if I'm tired; I throw temper tantrums if I'm tired enough :P).

I remember a year ago wanting to revamp Lifetime Movie Network into "Lively", which was meant to be either Lifetime's less Lifetime-ish counterpart or an attempt to compete with Oxygen and WEtv. But all I wanted to do with it was buy up reruns. -_-

...I guess I might as well open this Lilyblossom toy. It's not Dad's fault I wasn't specific enough for him to ask for the right pony.

MSNBC did that already, and Current (what ABC News Now will replace) is trying that as well.
...so I want to retain Current's pundits, yet position the rest of the network as an extension of ABC News. Maybe fill some other niche the others haven't gotten to yet. I had the idea of partnering with the BBC to allow for a greater focus on international news, for one thing.
There'd be less of a focus on celebrity gossip, but that interests people... >_>
...would toning down the other networks' bombast work?
I kind of wish there was a news network that weren't obvious about where they slant. I tend to be on the liberal side of things but msnbc takes it overboard and Current screwed over its old audience (read: me). CNN fluctuates depending on what's on, and Fox News is Fox News.
^ Heh, I was going to say "buy Current TV" but I thought "nah, maybe he wouldn't want it".

The merger went through just in time for Lionsgate to to produce John Joseco's WAL-MART: A Tale of True Love and the Atari 2600.
Tre's apartment building in Stuck was owned by Windstream Communtications at one point, but I changed it do I wouldn't get sued.
In the Stuckiverse, Windstream bought out T-Mobile and Clearwire (well, T-Mo bought Windstream but adopted Windstream as the brand name because they broke up with Douche Telekom) to become another big fat market player, and it seemed to have had its eyes on CenturyLink before antitrust regulations got in the way of their big-ass merger.

...For some reason thinking about all these fictional mergers has me wanting to read Buy-N-Large fanfiction.
It'd buy Apple first, and the merger would sort of be as equals (Wall-E does use a modified Mac OS, after all, as does Auto and possibly M-O) but then once the apocalypse came around they'd just start buying everything because, let's face it, the Dept. of Justice isn't going to mind much about antitrust if the end of the world is coming.

I find it interesting that in Toy Story 3 Buzz Lightyear's batteries have BNL's logo on them.
I get that that's typical of Pixar to throw in little references to their previous films, but knowing what eventually becomes of BNL, that's kinda unsettling.
Ehhh, it's doubtful the two are in the same universe anyway.
Well, unless they pull some weird stunt if they make any more things Wall-E/TS related with more hints about BNL.
^ BNL is a big-ass corporation from the movie Wall-E. They transported the entire population of Earth into outer space as a result of the planet becoming inhospitable.
And then, thanks to a megacorporation being more or less in charge of the human race, everyone became fat lazy bums with consumerism as a way of life.

I imagine the thought process of whoever designed that was "it's only going to be onscreen for 30 seconds, instead of making it look good let's just make it look visually distinct from all the BBC-related graphics it's sandwiched between."

Also did you know that daytime commercials aimed at women comforted me once? And still kinda do?
(BGC is good if you wanna make fun of basic bitch activities. That's the main reason I even watch it.)
^ Cartoon Network is only 30% crappy now, c'mon.
Profit.
I'm a bad CEO, aren't I? I liked the idea of purging my channels of garbage, but would that get ratings? Maybe not!
...and now I'm reminded that I have no idea what to do with the retooled ABC News Now.
Profit.
This reminded me of Stuart Ashen for some reason.

Now that the company is officially ABC Lionsgate, I figure closing on the purchase is good, along with that of WSYX. Fear not, CA, WSYX is free now!
It'll be the hit movie of the year
if so, BUY MY BOOK
it can be a Lionsgate movie also
or three

All those mergers and acquisitions, and Windstream Wireless still wouldn't have the iPhone!
I think of "Chicken Little" whenever they come up. And "Big Bang", but everybody knows Big Bang, so.

What do you think of these news graphics?
