Bizarre SGU promo shot

[donutsweeper]

Am I the only one that finds this picture bizarre and possibly bordering on disturbing?




I mean, really? Do we have to portray the women as sex objects? And if they were lusting after/throwing themselves on someone, they chose him? The man who all the characters hate? *sighs*

Such things don't bother the people in charge.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

not when they can show off boobies and pouty lips!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Definitely not when that is the case.

SYFY... as bankrupt for ideas as SciFi was. But with a NEW NAME!!!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

LOL, so true.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

And... it's a cool new name?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

If you like networks whose names look like the nickname for an STD, yeah.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*giggles* with the kind of crap movies they produce aiming for STDs might fit their image

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

SO TRUE.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

it's like they're trying to annoy their fans

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I'd like to think they have some great evil plan behind this, but I really don't know what the ultimate goal would be.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

to become the network known for crappy C movies?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Well, you know, even bad press is good for a network.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I've never understood that philosophy. In the short term it might work, but it winds up ending badly because no one sticks around for long

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I think they just tend to forget the last part of that all too often.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

It's one of the reasons there are always the 'shocking' storylines during sweeps. pull the viewers in when it counts and who gives a damn the rest of the time

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Nevermind those people who make the ratings during the rest of the year.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

And who cares about those that aren't the target demographic...

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

No one really cares what they want to watch.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*grumbles* that's the case FAR too often

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Definitely.
