BBC3 DOGS

The SCUM controlling BBC3 have now began placing DOGS on every single bloody
programme including FILMS.

I will not put up with this any longer. I refuse to watch Robin Hood Prince
of Thieves while it is being defaced by a DOG, and will witch something else
instead or nothing at all.

The BBC3 staff can all go and jump in the sea, after all its Epiphany but
the BBC seem to have forgotten all about that as well.

Have you tried complaining to the BBC about this? I'm not saying they will
change things based on a single complaint, but if enough people are unhappy
about this and tell them so, then they may stop doing this.

Not a chance. Their standard response is that they have research showing
that people like them. This is a lie, obviously, but shows the mentality
that underlies their imposition.

The only way to put an end to these territorial ****ings is to root out all
the TV executives who think they are a good idea, line them up against a
wall, and have them shot.

How I agree with Agamemnon on this. The use of these utterly useless
dogs has been the ruin of digital television. In fact I have stopped
watching an awful lot of TV these days as I just find them so irritating.

Frankly I have written and complained on more than one occasion - all to
no effect. There have been several petitions and campaigns organised to
rid us of this nuisance."What Satellite" magazine organised one for
instance. All proved to be useless, and not one sensible answer to the
objections raised was, to my knowledge received from the broadcasters
involved. Just unsupported comments that the 'viewers' liked them, or
some twee marketing talk about the modern need for branding. The current
level of thinking by those who run TV these days it that these 'Dogs'
assist somehow in 'station branding', rather like a designer label on a
pair of jeans does. Sad that their intellectual level should be such
that they would actually believe such nonsense. The only effective
branding comes through quality programming, and nothing else.

Why does the BBC use dogs? Well their official explanation may be found

Those interested in understanding this issue better may be interested in
visiting two excellent web sites dedicated to the subject. They a-

Incidentally, a visit to the logofree TV forum is well worth a look - at
least you will know that you are not alone in your irritation with the
all pervasive 'dogs'.

One word of encouragement though. During my last trip to the US I
noticed that, in Los Angeles at least, there had been a considerable
decline in the use of 'dogs' on American TV. TCM, for instance, only had
their dog on screen for around 10-15 seconds following each advertising
break and then removed it. Several Channels were 'dogless' and others
were using them in a much lower key way than previously. Perhaps they
realised that one of the reasons for the declining TV audience may, at
least in part, be due to the impaired enjoyment these 'dogs' have on
one's viewing pleasure.

Well, as for me, I stopped subscribing to Sky because of the on-screen
junk, and placed my Digibox in the dustbin.

Anyway, that's my two-pennorth for what it's worth.

They are presumably adhering to the old adage that a lie if repeated
often enough will eventually be accepted as the truth. They want to
establish is as "just the way things are" and thus beyond question.

This is similar to DJs talking over the intros and ends of music,
announcers talking over mutilated (squashed, sqeezed or just cut) end
credits and the now+next crap stuffed on the last couple of minutes of
many programs.

Interestingly "The Ashes" higlights on BBC2 carried a small logo.

There is the (plausible) conspiracy theory that this is solely to brand
recordings though you wont get any executives to admit to that.

Wonder if anyone can find a "smoking gun" of a memo from the rights
holders who will charge less if this garbage is present?

Clearly you are not "enough people".
If you write a *paper* letter AFAIK Aunty used to treat you as 1000 people.
Emails probably have a lower multiplier.

What does green crayon do to the multiplier?
