Bud Tv

Interesting.......maybe......maybe not.

Bud TV goes live tomorrow.

From here

The site will feature the commercials from the Super Bowl along with original web series such as:
1. Afterworld: A science-fiction show, partially animated.
2. Blow Shit Up: Just what it sounds like, the audience submits stuff theyd like to see blown to bits.
3. Finish Our Film: A spoof of reality shows and a making-of-a-film documentary that will be produced by Matt Damon and Ben Afflecks production company.
4. Futureman: Another science-fiction show, though presumably a comedy.
5. Happy Hour: This show will feature up-and-coming and wannabe stand-up comics.
6. Ice Vision and Chef: A mockumentary about the attempted comeback of a defrocked superhero.
7. Replaced by a Chimp: A comedy in which real peoples jobs are replaced by a monkey.
8. Truly Famous: Another spoof of reality and celebrity shows.
9. What Girls Want: A female version of Queer Eye with a trio of lovelies giving dating advice to some hapless schmo.

Anheuser-Busch is spending a lot of money on it, approximately $30-40 million over the first year of Bud TV. But thats a drop in the bucket of A-Bs staggering billion dollar plus annual marketing budget, although A-B has also announced they will be reducing the portion of their ad budget usually reserved for network television shows. Still, about $600 million will be spent on more traditional advertising.

Later channels on Bud TV reportedly will likely include the following.

1. Bud Tube: Consumer-generated video, including homemade ads for Bud or Bud Light.
2. Reality Programming: One show is a live version of The Dating Game show from the 1970s aired from bars and restaurants in 25 cities. Another is Fools Gold, in which contestants can only take as much gold out of the dessert as they can carry and survive, while a half-crazed miner tries to thwart them.
3. News: Updates on news and unusual events, designed to give viewers something to chat about over a beer.
4. Sports: Sports will be featured in some fashion.
5. Hollywood: Celebrity coverage.

Good to see they have their priorities in order.

Why don't they spend some of those millions on making better beer?! Or give it away to charity?

"...Another is Fools Gold, in which contestants can only take as much gold out of the dessert as they can carry and survive, while a half-crazed miner tries to thwart them..."

WTF!? LOL

Interesting concept for a show. Would probably be funny to watch the first few times... but anyways glad to see Bud has taken it upon itself to further stupify swill drinking America.

Anything with a monkey in it HAS to be good!
