Re: QVC Looking Into Why It Showed A Laptop With Racist Content On TV

Has anyone really looked at that "screen shot"?  No way does it look like that is a laptop screen displaying it.  It looks like something superimposed over the tv screen shot.  You can't see the screen with the laptop surround; it's very squared off.

 

I think it's all an incredibly pathetic, childish prank.  Having said that, if QVC really is looking into it, I hope they find the person(s) responsible and take whatever measures they deem justified.

 

Okay, now I'm off to watch paint dry.  (I hope I haven't offended anyone by mentioning paint.)

All of this anti-PC rhetoric that's cropped up recently is repulsive.

Yep - that's why I said on the other thread that it might not be true.  It looks like the square with the words on it are popped up in front of the host or vendor, not on a laptop.  

 

"Vloggin With Da Boiz" is a youtube channel who hasn't posted a new video in two years.  Here's their intro/description:

 

 

Vloggin With da boiz is a chanel about every day things that happen to us and trending topics aswell of corse vlogs of our routine! 
 
So.... sounds like teenagers to me.  

 

Jonathan Vitale is a real person (and a real doctor) who also has a youtube channel, but hasn't posted a new video in almost a year.

Some years ago I was looking at QVC.com and the TSV came up a n*ked woman draped on a chair.  I don't remember what the product was, and it wasn't the home page photo.  But I know it wasn't a n*ked woman or a chair.  Yes, I called and reported it.  End of story.

Vloggin may not have posted a vid in a while but he can still YouTube live chat.

QVC livestreams some of it's programming. It's possible the livechat feature was active and that's where the comments popped up.

Could be that Rick or whoever decided to pull up the YouTube livestream to demo and didn't know that someone (Vloggin) was trolling livechat comments.

Makes you wonder why it's not zapped on the forums. Do they think everyone posting is a WASP?
