TV Logo's Suck (from the worst of crap.....April 2010)

I Hate TV Logo's.  In fact, I sometimes turn off something I am watching if they have that stupid ridiculous logo on the bottom right of the screen. Did every idiot working on a major TV station decide on the same day to put their ugly logo on the screen so that every viewer can be annoyed at the same time looking at this ????
    OK, I realize these upper management jerks want to advertise their station.  But give me a f***en break.  If it's a regular station there are certainly enough commercials to pay for this. If it's a cable station, there are certainly enough viewers paying to watch the station.
     My question is simple.  Why??? But not only why???? Why so damn large ?  Even I would probably not mind a tiny little logo in a monotone color on the screen.  ( OK, maybe that is a lie ). But to put these hideous, colorful, letters with logos in plain site............give me a break..... Oh, and while I am ranting and raving about the logos, what about those stupid trailers for a new show that also come popping out ?  This whole thing is so annoying.  Sometimes I just put the PIP on my TV just so I don't have to see the logo. That can be fun, but also annoying.

        I have googled some of this and see there are several law suits against the stations for doing just this. Don't think this is limited to TV's. Hey gang, look at your I phone or Blackberry when looking for something or on any free app and you will see ads and logo's there as well.  It will never stop.  I am waiting see a logo or an ad on the toilet paper the next time I change a roll.
     I put the computer system on in my car and what pops out first ?  Right......a damn Genesis Logo.  The same happened on my Jag.  What is next ? ? ? ?  You can't watch porn without a short ad coming on first.  Any news event video's on line have a quick ad first.  Turn on your Mac and a big friggen Apple pops up.....I am waiting to turn on my microwave one day and after punching in the settings, seeing a big GE logo before it goes on.
     I am tired of these stupid logo's..............by the way............subscribe to CRaP............ Is that large enough?????

Stupid People buy Stupid Logo's (a fun repeat from a year ago)





I was in the Men's fashion business most of my business career. This included dozens of trips to Italy each year, and lots of contact with some very well know designers. Going to some of the fashion shows in Milano was always fun. In fact for many years we made neckwear under the Krizia , Mario Valentino,  Paco Rabanne and several other designer names.  Actually, all they ever did was receive royalty checks from us as is custom in most fashion clothing and  accessories for men or women.  They got the checks, and we did the work.  Usually, none of the designers get involved except for giving a general approval, if even that.  The good news is that we had a license to steal.  That is correct.  A license to steal.....Curious now???????? Designer labels can generate a much larger price tag than the same merchandise without the label. But I am sure you already knew that.
     Sure, the designers got a nice royalty for the use of their name.  The manufacturer ( like my old company ) got a nice mark-up for the use of their name.  The customer got................Screwed............Yup.............Screwed.......... I personally made lots of money using these names on some of our merchandise, but throughout the years really never understood Why or How the average consumer could be so stupid !!!!!!!  Why would anyone care, or want to wear something with someone else's name in it or on it ????????  OK, so sometimes if the name is on the inside and it's not too visible and you love the item and it's priced well it's OK..... But to want to buy something with someone else's name prominently displayed ????????? Why......Are you fucking crazy ???????  I am not senile yet and would not want to have some other persons name on anything I wear because it would surely confuse me.  I have never (well mostly never) worn someone else's name on my clothing.  If I did, I would make damn sure they would pay me for walking around and advertising for them.
     
     As bad as this is in the Men's business, it is 1,000 times worse for the Ladies........All you lovely women out there reading this.   Are you all crazy ?  Why do you give a shit what it says on your handbag??????? Why do you give a shit what it says on your underwear or anything you wear ? Surely you can't be that insecure.  I know you don't give a shit what every Celeb on ET or Those other stupid shows on TV are wearing. I can't believe that anyone with a brain watches those dopes walking the Red Carpet and blabbing away to some other jerk as to what designer they are wearing.
      It goes on and on. Then it filters down to the Marshalls and TJ Maxx.  It doesn't stop. It is everywhere.  I can puke when I see the prices of Ladies Bags by some of the designers.  Waiting lists for years to get some of these.  Why...................$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.......that is why.
     I am thinking of coming out with an expensive line of bags to sell at $3,000.00 each that will be made of plastic and have a big bold label called "Assholes".   I better calm down now, but I can't. Why???  Because there is something that is actually worse. There is one step beyond the craziness of Designer Merchandise......................And that is...........Fake Designer Merchandise.............So good luck to all those wonderful street vendors selling all these wonderful knock offs.  But at the end, does anyone really know the difference or even give a CRaP?????
