Look in the bottom right of the image. That bright red “V” is what ABC thinks is good marketing; free marketing. Oh but it cost them a lot in the end as many LOST fans swore never to watch “V”.
Let me ask a question. Why does ABC and most other broadcasting companies put their logo as a grey semi-transparent watermark? Because you don’t really notice it. So why do they put a RED F#@%ING V ON THE SCREEN? Because they know LOST fants are a captive audience. My apologies to the people who make a living creating “V” but I am not watching it.
It’s ridiculous. I know I am watching ABC; anyone watching LOST know they are watching ABC but that have to have a RED F#@%ING “V”, a countdown, and the ABC logo. They couldn’t even remove the ABC logo.
They won’t show the “V” during commercials but we are are subjected to it. Without us there are no advertisers.
Hey ABC, let’s think this through. You want viewers to tune into your show. LOST fans can easily be expected to give it a shot. You want to have a successful relaunch so how do you get LOST fans to show up at 10:00? How do you gain good will?
You run the countless ads you have been running for a week. You don’t piss us off. How do you test a new idea like putting a F#@%ING ”V” on my screen? You listen to Twitter in the first 10 minutes and pull the plug when everyone is bitching about your stupid experiment that some idiot told you to try that doesn’t even watch TV. No one who is a fan of TV or LOST, much less a thoughtful business person, would tell you to put A F#@%ING RED “V” on the bottom of my screen.
Disconnect.
