Viacom Puts More Than A Million Into DC's MLK Memorial

Martin Luther King, Jr., who might, if he were alive, despise Viacom's product with all of his heart and soul, has nevertheless inspired the media behemoth to donate $1.5 million for a planned MLK memorial on the National Mall.

$1.5 million? Sounds like about $1.45 million more than Viacom is willing to invest in BET's new programming.

I still think Viacom invested too much in BET programming.

MLK is probably rolling in his grave at the thought of shows like 'Flavor of Love', 'Hot Ghetto Mess', etc.

Omg. I can't even imagine what he would think of Flavor Flav? He would probably think he was looking at some old crazy minstrel resurrected from the 1800's. Wow. Where's the Chappelle show when you need it. That would be a great sketch. MLK meets Flava, New York and the white chick she was always about to beat down (name?). Then he could see how far his dream went. LOL.
