Gay Network Launching Soon

There are already two pay-per-view gay networks, though I've never heard of them (Q and Here). To view them, you've got to pay your bucks and let them into your house. Now there's a new gay network, Logo, that will be more obtrusive. As the AP write up says, "Logo will be available in homes that do not specifically order it."

That means the network can be bundled with Cable packages, which are notoriously inflexible, so many who don't want homosexual programming in their homes will have difficulty keeping it away. And there will be homosexual programming on Logo, including gay stand-up comics, a reality show about opening a gay bar, and a gay sit com.

Shame on creator Brian Graden, who had a chance (presumably) to do something positive with his life. He attended Oral Roberts University, which should have led him in the right direction, but he apparently focused to much on Mr. Roberts' first name, and as such, when he faces eternity, he'll have with him a resume which includes:
  • Logo, the first gay network to get into homes that don't want it
  • Helping develop "South Park"
  • Being the force behind MTV's corruption of youth culture with the shows "The Osbournes," "Pimp My Ride," "Jackass," and "The Newlyweds."
"Uh, sorry St. Peter. I just don't know what I was thinking...."
