New Kanye Show "Too Hardcore" For HBO
 

Kanye West, with his clothing line and suspiciously-active blog and new Comedy Central show, is obviously trying to expand his reach in the entertainment and business world. But one of his ventures has hit a road block. West recently shot a pilot for a new scripted-but-improvised comedy show on HBO with Larry Charles, the producer behind Curb Your Enthusiasm, Borat, and Bill Maher's upcoming Religulous. We might not ever see it. Here's what Charles had to say: "It was really good, but again I think it was too hardcore for HBO…People gave it a very good response and it seems to be on the shelf right now. The management has shifted at HBO so we're waiting to see." I'm not really sure what line one would have to cross to make something too hardcore for HBO, but leave it up to West to cross it.

Too hardcore for HBO? The channel that brought us The Wire, Big Love, Real Sex, G String Divas and the show about the Bunny Ranch? What could he have possibly had in his show?

Jaime, my thoughts exactly but you left out the most hardcore IMO, though I loved the show, The Sopranos.

They show soft core porn. Unless the show had hard core porn…

isn't this the same network that followed the life of hooker ass hookers and document their Lives? " This is peaches.. peaches is a prostitute on the mean streets of philly. Let's watch as she performs oral for her latest patron…see her technique.. she's a pro."

I mean come on.. did they not give us such gems as "Pimps Up Hoes, down?"

I call shenanigans.
