PITTSBURGH - Seeking to collar a younger male demographic, WQED television is ditching its stodgy fundraiser premiums of tote bags and light classical music CD's in order to give the guys what they really want -- lap dances.WQED President George Miles said the station is looking to finally break into the 18-24 year old male market. "These boys are after one thing," Miles chuckled, "and we're going to give it to them."
Miles said that the station is looking at replacing some of "that staid, PBS programming that nobody watches" with episodes of Girls Gone Wild. "The guys I'm after don't want to see the crap we show, plain and simple. Let me be honest: I don't want to see the crap we show -- Nova, An Evening with Andrea Bocelli, those supposedly sophisticated but boring-as-hell English comedies. I mean, come on! This is 2006!"
Miles said the station won't discriminate and will give women donors an equivalent premium. "If the gals give me $150 or more, I'll get Rick Sebak over here to give them a lap dance."
