:ikk:
QuoteTVGuide.com says there is talk that G4 may be looking to partner with Esquire or another men's magazine like GQ as it moves forward into "more upscale, sophisticated guy TV space." The network may be renamed G4Men, among other possibilities.
Right, because we totally need another set of low-brow misogynistic programming that is mislabeled as being, "sophisticated," when really it is watched by people who are the IRL equivalent of Carl Brutananadilewski.
Also, they can't really call it G4 if there's no actual fucking games. That's what G4TV stood for in the damn first place, TV for gamers.
MTV kept calling themselves Music Television for years despite drastically cutting their music content, doubt they'll change it or even care.
This is what happens when the network's president is replaced with an ESPN marketing exec.
Also, G4 is actually kinda guilty since they buried much of the TechTV programming that wasn't XPlay (at least until recently) when they merged.
I guess this means G4 is now the television equivalent of /v/.
No, at least /v/ ATTEMPTS discussion at videogames... this is just a fucking mess.
And most of those lead to en masse shitflinging. And God forbid you disagree with their hive mind.
Then again that applies to most of 4chan anyway.
But to compare them to G4 is unfair, because G4 is just becoming another fucking jock channel. As if we don't have enough of those already.
OK let me rephrase that.
G4 is the television equivalent of Gawker.
No... there really is no comparison for this disgusting turn of events. And I hope the guy in charge gets erectile dysfunction and lives the rest of his days in a nursing home, eventually succumbing to prostate cancer.
