Speak up chaps, they can't hear you on Rockall.
How much longer before it ends up looking like this? (Thanks to Josh for the original cap):

I hope so, It certainly got my attention.
We all know Babestation were one of the original (if not the original) babechannels, but I was thinking how they would get on now if they went on Dragon's Den.
BS: Hi Dragons, my idea is a phone sex line
Dragons (interrupting): You mean those sleazy numbers in the back of The Sun?
BS: No, this one has it's own dedicated TV channel, so you can tell the girl exactly what you want to see and she'll do it, provided broadcasting laws allow it.
Dragons: It's an interesting idea, but what if other companies took your idea, and had higher production values and started stealing your business?
BS: We'd start with some hard sell advertising, put more graphics onscreen to inform viewers of how to buy pictures, or just meaningless messages to fill space. A girl will only appear to shill a harder pay-for channel, taking up anything from a non-screen voiceover to a fullscreen takeover. If the professional pics don't sell, we''ll have timed deals to buy amateur snapshots instead. Oh, and we'll slap a connection charge on to our mobile callers (ie the majority of our callers).
Dragons: Not sure about those ideas, what if your loyal fanbase is annoyed by this and even goes so far as to create a specific place on the internet where they complain about these steps?
BS: We'll ignore them, and taunt them by having the awfulness of the graphics vary night by night.
Dragons: We're out.
(Evan Davis gives BS a bitch slap on the way out for good measure)

If it doesn't, maybe you could change it to
"
Letters of praise for Babestation"
They're bound to read it then.

I was being diplomatic in that I didn't want to upset anyone who thought I was singling out one babe with my comment!!

Yeah, it takes up less vertical space than the previous version and that's welcome, BUT...this is a real missed opportunity. The new design is no more flexible than the old one. It's a fixed template. They still have no real-time control over the information it displays. If they invested some time, money and a little common sense, they could use that area of the screen to display everything. Ads for BSxtreme, picture offers, girl caller alerts, everything! All at the foot of the screen and out of the way.
Maybe next time, eh?
