I’m not even gonna lie, this was hilarious but really when in doubt, be sarcastic…or in a hipster case..ironic.

Obama calls you out?…

I’m sure most of people have either heard or become angry over the Conan vs NBC & Leno debacle. Sure during the media frenzy of the Haiti earthquake, it may seen superficial to some to even be worried about “two White Guys” and millions but, as a long time Conan fan and observer of his nearly up-hill battle with NBC, you better understand why you need to be concerned about the fate of Conan and realize what he truly represents the small business vs the too big to fails and the prize pig counterparts.

See for entertainers, its either a Leno should be blamed or its just Conan failed persecutive but if you see how Conan was setup for failure since his Twelve05 presence , and Leno’s past run in with Letterman, you will realize there is nothing noble or innocent in this final outcome.

Now why would I say Conan represent the regular person? Consider this, the Tonight Show has always been a power job. Once you get it, you are official apart of the “Suits of the Industry.” This means you can make everything work around you because you are the cash cow. If you fail, someone on the show list has to give up the budget to keep the cash cow alive. Sound familiar?

The way I see it, Conan represents the small business, micro American consumer. His show was never really contracted with NBC in confidence so, he worked from literally a check to check gig for the longest. (Look it up, its one the only if not the longest contractual option in entertainment.) So in a sense NBC worked with Conan but never had any intentions of really putting a buget behind him. Similar to a small business get a loan aproved from a big bank. Its when Conan’s fans put him up not a network budget, they had to take note.

Next, Leno who noted retirement in 2004 to make way for Conan, acted as if NBC just told him to do something he really didn’t want and its Conan who failed with ratings. Less we forget how when Carson retired, HE WENT AWAY. And then Leno’s rating actually sucked for nearly 3 years, during the height of the economy, while getting owned by Letterman who was intially up for the Tonight Show job. If it wasn’t for Hugh Grant, people wouldn’t have even really cared. But, notice how people are so focused on Conan’s failure, during a failing economy and not that Leno only had a strong 5ish 6ish years, after Letterman got old and crankity.

Next, Conan finally gets the gig, and what does Leno do..not sit his head down. He take over the time slot before Conan as if NBC had his dog held hostage or else and then as a loyal Conan watching fan..I waited…and waited and for a long time, Conan just wasn’t on TV. To the point when we was on, I basically didn’t find out until he was nearly a month in on his show. I’ve noticed when networks want a show to fail, their real good at extended breaks, long enough for people to get tired of waiting and find a new tv regime. So the lead in time for Conan never really was due to the buget going into Leno’s new special and then Jimmy Fallon. People knew it was so wrong on Leno’s part in Boston, they refused to show Leno due to support Conan. And on top of that the local news channels say Leno hurt their raitings.

Now Conan, like a small business owner took the responsibility of the employment of his entire team which moved from NY to LA. He even paid for them during the strike, OUT HIS OWN POCKET. So for you this may seem like just a TV thing but its just proof of how big companies are destroying the moxy of the small business owner and the families they are responsible for.

But with all of that said, Leno currently a ratings failure, if he continues to drop like a Goldman Sachs will NBC continue to pump funds and marketing in Leno while letting all the other shows fall at the waist side? I mean, will this be the end of say Heroes to save Jay?

A one on camera film about Michael Ruppert, an ex LA cop, turned reporter who “predicted” the economic collapse and additional things to come. In this sit down film that plays more like a less campy version of Michael Moore’s movie about the Collapse of the comfortable world as we know it.

1. I have a strange feeling, the girls went into the show knowing it had a shelf life of 5 years. 
2. That it takes a reality show to sell records.
3. Diddy sorta exposed the real industry order agenda..no one can make it on their own…without the BIG industry permission…hello the show, the label everything  is owned by Viacom / Universal.
4. Cause I suspect Willie thought he’d get a solo deal and it fell through, thus lashing out at Que 
5. When the Chris Brown beat down happened, Diddy saw a potential void, thus kept Que around.
6. Que was pegged as crazy, yet everyone on the show was basically broke and spazzing out, or crying.
7. Making the Band has become the Real World for the music industry. I’m waiting to see someone in the Gauntlet.
8. Fans were threatening suicide or actual harm to themselves or current/former members of the group.
9. Diddy is doing another group. Seriously when does it stop.
10. The fans have seem to treat the end of Danity Kane and the broke-worries of Day 26 as signs of the Apocalypse. 

Either way, note when people are asked about “What went wrong” or Day 26, “what is going wrong”, everyone is speaking in code 007…the blue moon over the Aquarius jumpsuit, leans to the dog…wtf? You know why everyone has an okie-doke, wtf story? Cause the shit-aint real! So see it for what it is a show and watch The Game.
