Finding the Long Tail of Television

prostoalex writes "The New York Times runs the story on the long tail of television, where the channels that would not be hits on the mainstream media are migrating to the Internet and finding interested audiences there. The article mentions Sail.tv - TV programming for those into sailing and yachting, TrioTV - the cornucopia of pop culture and music, BrilliantButCancelled will rerun the reruns of old TV shows, and OutZone will feature programming pertaining to gays and lesbians."

...We go over to 24 hour live coverage of the GLBT-pride march that is happening in World Of Warcraft. This is truly an exciting moment as we are expressing our gay, I mean gblt, rights, in cyberspace. Thats right, Cyberspace (echo).

And after that, call in with your horror stories about your violated rights!

Hi caller on line 1:

Caller: Yes, hi, I love this channel, me and my partner stayed up all night watching your WOW march.
Presenter: Well, that's comforting.
Caller: I am calling because yesterday, I got a parking ticket...
Presenter: Why was this? This is an outrage? Were you in a handicap zone? over your meter? Did the store not have GLBT friendly parking zones?
Caller: (indignantly) Not they did not have GBLT friendly parking zones, I had to park with the others. Well I was in a disabled parking space, but the real problem?
Presenter: Tell us caller, tell the world your horrific experience!
Caller: (emphatic) The ticket wasn't sensitive to my choice of sexuality!
Presenter: (amidst canned horror sounds) That is unbearable, explain!
Caller: Well, firstly it did recognize or acknowledge my sexuality...
Presenter: TERRIBL!
Caller: ... It didn't apologies to me, as a minority, I mean, you have to expect some reverse discrimination just to be sure you are not being discriminated against right?
Presenter: Of course, that is the only reason I became gay
Caller: Me too! And because I was a 6'5" tomboy with lank unattractive hair, and I repressed my sexual desires by joining the feminist society, working for NASA as an engineer and slandering the good name of Joan of Arc by saying she was a feminist.
Caller: OK, I am getting Lambda legal onto the case (catchy Lambda Legal jingle, sounds like Power Rangers)
Lambda Agent: (shouting) Yello Lambda Agent Online!
Presenter: We need to get all states to recognize peoples' sexuality on parking tickets!
Lambda Agent: (wtf, still shouting!) Yello Lamdba Agent, AFFIRMATIVE!!

Wtf, where did that come from.

I thought that walking-stick shaking, moral guardians didn't watch TV anyway. Wouldn't you rather be at church or whipping yourself with a cane as punishment for impure thoughts? Maybe you could go for a ride on your penny farthing?
