Look, I Don't Come Down To Where You Work And Slap The Dick Out Of Your Grandma's Mouth...

...So Don't diss my job.

I happen to like what I do and where I do it. It's quite often when people make rather blunt remarks regarding TV-7. Listen people, it's Low-Power TV......of course it's gonna be crappy. You can't run a TV station for thousands of dollars..but we manage. Now, if you would like to loan us a few cool million......we'll make it look as good as those dickheads over at WTVA. Until then......we'll do the best we can with what we've got—which is pretty darn good.

You're not looking at the bigger picture: Bruce, MS......a little podunk town in Mississippi.......has a freakin' TV station! Does that not impress you? Well, no probably not b/c it's probably been here as long as you have been alive—but it's amazing for a small town. Annnnd we don't just cover Bruce. We're all over.

And sure, maybe I don't agree with everything we put on the air; well, the most recent good news is TBN has stopped paying us, so we're not allowed to run them anymore. Which, In My Opinion, is good b/c TBN is not a very good network. However, we do run one other satellite...but it comes from Oral Roberts University, and is a decent 'Christian' network. They do do religious programs in the morning at at night.....but in the afternoon they actually play old movies, and other old TV shows. So it's not preaching 100% of the time.

Whatever other complaints you have, you gotta remember it's a family owned business, and there are only a few people working there. It's pretty tough to do 168 hours of programming with just a few people. You try it. (Oh, and speaking of....you would be amazed at how much time is spent there. It's not a 40-hour a week job.)

Besides, I feel like I'm an amateur and I feel like I'm working at an amateur level—so it's comfortable for me.

So, it's cool if you don't like it. I'm not trying to tell you to start respecting it just because I work there. What I am telling you is to respect that I work there. I mean, I don't say "Oh, you work at Amoco....don't you realize we should turn away from fossil fuels and find alternative energy?...you bastard.....oh and geez that red white and blue design is sooo crappy." ...........I don't think that states my point well, but I just meant that I don't come down to where you work and slap the dick out of your Grandma's mouth.
