SPIKE TV

I've sent email (via an online contact form at here) asking them to consider doing a show advocating men's rights. We NEED this show. You NEED to contact them and ask for the same thing. As a channel for men, they continue to reinforce the negative stereotypes of masculinity with shows like "Stripperella"."

Push for real men's issues to be dealt with, instead of programs which insult our intelligence. Feminism=Fascism : Get Wise to the Lies

SpikeTV - Who Else Would Even Listen? (Score:1) by A.J. on 09:04 AM September 7th, 2004 EST (#4) (User #134 Info) Spike TV may not be everyone’s idea of what a channel for men should be. I see a lot that I don’t like but in all fairness we need to recognize that the first thing a channel for men has to do is survive in the marketplace. Despite it’s shortcomings SpikeTV may be our best opportunity to be heard. Face it, at this point in time men's rights advocates are not exactly a major force in the media. Requests for a men’s rights show will probably be taken more seriously at Spike than at any other network. I suspect that the main obstacle at Spike is to convince them that people would actually watch such a show. Most networks would laugh at the idea - then run in the other direction - they know their audience. Their viewers are primarily female and programming reflects it. Oprah’s show exists because LOTS of consumers watch it. We can have influence by asking for what we want, criticizing the bad, and complimenting the good. So, has everyone sent Spike positive feedback on their men’s health campaign? http://www.spiketv.com/shows/events/pro_social/200 4/home.jhtml

Delete the space from between the 0 and the 4 after you've copied it into the address line and it works.
