Have you ever noticed that when DDR is being showed on TV or when it's being reviewed a large percentage of the time the worst players are captured playing? That makes me so angry!! If any of you guys tune in to BET, Black Entertainment Television, there is this show shown called "College Hill." During one of the episodes one of the characters, Jacobi, was shown playing DDR. He was absolutly horrid!! Was stumblin', and from what we could tell was off beat. The other characters were talking about how the game was booin' him and stuff. It just makes me angry that they always manage to show the mediocre to bad people playing. That gives DDR players worldwide a bad wrap.

GET A LIFE!, god man, just because bad players are shown doesnt give DDR a bad wrap, its a game for christ sakes, they might have been booing him just for laughs, and just because he cant AA max 300 doesnt mean he sucks

How does it not give DDR players and DDR a bad wrap? Seeing someone making a fool of themself while playing DDR doesn't incourage people to go play. Instead people get the idea of, "Aww, this came is no fun. You just look a fool." Now on the other hand if you see someone sweet playing you're going to get all in the game and have a, " That's cool, I wanna learn!" attitude.

He's got a better point...but really, as long as DDR gets some media it can't be a bad thing. Bad publicity is still publicity.

Don't get me started. EVERY other television station is White TV. Count how many black characters you see on the most popular TV shows. It's not just TV, it's everywhere. The reason we have black history month is cuz the other 11 months are basically white history months (if you think I'm making it up, read an American history textbook... maybe they talk about Martin Luther King for a page, and other than that, no blacks). Minority groups are allowed to do these things because otherwise they would get very little recognition. Whites get recognition in general, they have no need for "White TV".

Good question. The fact of the matter is, there doesn't seem to be as much of a desire for them. Nobody forced them to make Black Entertainment Television, it was created because there was demand for it. If more people demanded Asian Entertainment Television, it would become a reality.

I don't understand BET, a station practically dedicated to hip hop. At LEAST White-tv has a musical variety, and funnier comedians.

I think Pikey-Tv would be a definate hit. A bunch of fast talking Irish-folk playing the top 20 bagpipe songs while the comedians talk about chicken, watermellon, grits, and orange soda are nothing compared to potatoes and a pint.

And in true gypsy fashion. Each and every day will Pikey-Tv be on a DIFFERENT channel. This will suck if you have satellite, seeing howe you'll get about 1,000+channels. Better get TIVO.

BET kind of stereotypes blacks. All they play are "ghetto" music videos, you know, the rap ones with the guys that are like "yo sup homie g im gonna bust a cap on ya [bleep] [bleep]'in [bleep] [bleep] [bleep]!" There are blacks in the world that listen to "white" music. And there are blacks in the world that sing "white" music. And there are whites in the world that like and sing "ghetto" music (aka "wiggers", which stands for white n... you figure it out) *cough*Eminem*cough*.

Uh, could we please go back to the subject? Anyway, I agree with Pantera on" Bad publicity is still publicity". Don't worry about seeing a bad to mediocre player on TV. You know you're good, so don't let seeing College Hill bother you.

Showing DDR on LIGHT on TV - Too easy, not very interesting to watch, why would I ever play that game?

Showing DDR on HEAVY on TV - Too hard, how could anyone possibly do that? That guy is sweating hard enough to fill a bathtub, why would I ever play that game?

(Just something to think about)

God, who cares if people like it??? You like it and that's all that matters. There are tons who do like it, and if others don't, that's their frickin loss.

This thread is bound to get locked if people keep on ragging with all this racial bullsh!t.

So what if there is a network just for blacks? If you dont like it dont watch it.
