to dark for tv

[sugarluv]

i sent my picture to one of the live g/g shows on tv, i got a call back from them sayin i look good but to dark, i take this as a racist comment, does anyone have a contact no for television x

[strictlybroadband]

It sounds dodgy - shame they didn't say this in writing. Was it TV X that said this? You didn't make clear...

Any skin colour can work on TV as long as make-up and lighting is right. Good luck with what you're trying to do (sorry, I don't have any TV X contacts but can point you at a couple of other TV companies).

SugarLuv....

Do you have a pic of yourself anywhere on line, so we could see just how dark you are ?

TVX have nothing against ethnic girls as Babs and Lexi prove by being regulars on their Live CallGirls programme as well as a couple of Indian and Orientals when they're around

Are you sure they didn't mean that the photo was too dark - i.e. underexposed????

that's what I was thinking...

Be careful here..an individual opinion shouldnt be taken as representative of the company. Even though it is very easy to think so, if true, that person could be disciplined with a warning or summarily fired from their post.

Besides if "dark" was a problem I'm sure they wouldnt use the likes of Lexi Martinez or Sahara sooo....please be specific before making assumptions like this because the outcome can have serious consequesnces.

Tell, I tried to do a rap docco for Black on Black channel and they said they I was to white to send in material, now whats that. Scottish TV has a policy of not employing any English and lists Gallic as its prefered language so raccism goes on just how you view it mate,

Scotland REALLY needs to work on the chip on its shoulder, it may well be justified in the past but i'm not so sure in the present day.

Its kinda like branding Fred Wests Kids murderers, or George Best;s kids awesome footballers or whatever else, there are examples where it carries thru a generation but Scotland REALLY need to lose the inferiority complex.

They have every reason to mate forget 400years ago, what about the pole tax, that got introduced in Scotland as a test, they even increased our water bills up there after England had a water shortage, Jockland has gallons of the stuff, We have the Oil and most of all we have Whiskey we are serious world exporters. In tecky stuff we have the UK's biggest IT Silicon valley where Adobie are based......most important of all is we have loads of birds with big tits,

The last one is the most important.

And the whiskey of course.

But mostly the birds with big tits. Please export more of them immediately.
