BET 0, Us 1...maybe


Something's happening over at BET.

Paul Porter of media watchdog group, Industry Ears released a documentary called “The Rap on Rap,” discussed the content of violence and profanity on BET and MTV programs. According to Porter, CNN, Proctor and Gamble, Pepsi and General Motors pulled their ads from Rap City and 106 & Park after the companies watched the program.

The doc/analysis report claimed that children were exposed to violence, profanity or obscenity once every 38 seconds. This is crazy! Every 38 seconds? It's sad, but real. I have watched BET fall from what it was back in the day to now. Most of the videos are nothing but drop that, shake that, ho, ass, money, crunk...just mess.

With this report hitting BET hard, will they finally get it? Let hope so or Debra Lee can kiss the CEO position bye-bye.
