Demographic Quirks

I have been watching some mid afternoon TV lately, ok reruns of Star Trek: TNG on SpikeTV, the network for men. Somehow the "network for men" doesn't seem to fit the normal description of a "trekkie". Anyways, I have noticed a rather disturbing profile of what SpikeTV must consider to be their key demographic that they pass on to advertisers. It would seem that men who watch TV in the afternoon are:

  • Out of work or in low end jobs, hence all the skills upgrade adverts
  • Have small penises (Hotmail seems to presume that as well)
  • Are overweight
  • And are in serious need of an upgrade on their internet connection

Now for some reason SpikeTV thinks these guys must have a swinging social life because they are bombarding the air waves every ten minutes with an ad for some auto awards show a month away. Clearly we have to book our social calendars well in advance.

Let me check my calendar.... (I think I'm free)

Clearly, you just need the internet upgrade. :)
