Oh yes, WSW is gonna throw another shrimp on the barbie starting this Friday
night on their SBS
channel
That makes it double digit countries that WSW is in now internationally…you
can see the Hong Kong
trailer here, I can’t even keep track of em all!
And yet on this side of the world, the 3rd season can’t even get pickedup
anywhere. From the
LA Times with the title “Obnoxious displays of wealth on TV a turn-off for
many”:
It had the makings of reality-television gold.
The third season of “Wall Street Warriors” started filming this spring, as
the financial sector’s meltdown accelerated. The show’s camera crews captured
the pain and anger of the biggest stock market crash in decades.
But right now, the show doesn’t have an audience.
“Wall Street Warriors” was shot for Mojo HD, a high-definition cable channel
that’s shutting down Monday, leaving the reality series without a home. Its
producers are shopping the show to other networks, with no takers so far.
Its problem: Americans are too depressed about their own finances to
entertain themselves by watching shows about money, according to industry
executives and academics.
This is too damn funny, people don’t want to watch finance shows because it
makes them remember their own shitty financial situations?
Hmmmmmm
This sounds like a job for PennyStocking ! All my
subscribers are loving life/banking right now, as the pickmaster–me–is now up
212% since last November, see all their happy testimonials HERE. (Just had to throw that out there,
being a used car salesman and such…)
But seriously, I think this is a load of crap…all WSW has to do is pitch
their show not as a drama, but as financial education. After all, when times are
tough, people wanna learn how to get out of debt now and borrow more on their
home. (Hahahaha pathetic / broke Americans, I spit on you!)
After all, look at how CNBC
has the highest ratings ever because they have manipulated people, people
who are now down 40%+ on the year, into believing their entertainment is
actually useful advice. (The suckers all rise up and cry out “Ouch”)
Perception is the name of the game here WSW. If you don’t want to go the
education route, at least feature someone who’s banked off all this economic
trouble…whether they’re lucky or not, you could give people someone to look up
to…and that would get picked up by a network, trust me.
