Spanish Language Channel tops TV ratings

Spanish language cable station Univision has outperformed all english language cable stations this month in the rating. I've watched Univsion programing and while funky..its basically hyper-Fox style sex and craziness. This victory isnt about quality of programing IMHO. Its about socioeconomic reality of who still uses TV as a major form of entertainment. White rich people who watch TV arnt being counted by networks because they are getting their TV from various internet distributors like Hulu or have abandoned TV entirely for new media. Latinos, who in America tend to be more poor and working class with less education and exposure to technology are still wedded to the old ball and chain. This also may account for why Latinos are now leading in another American statistic - Obesity.

Quotes

At a certain stage the realization strikes through that one must either live outside of society's bonds or die of absolute boredom. There is no future or freedom in the circumscribed life and the only other life is complete rejection of the rules. There is no longer room for the soldier of fortune or the gentleman adventurer who can live both within and outside of society. Today it is all or nothing. To save my own sanity I chose the nothing.

-James Bolivar DiGriz
