SBS claims to have 'six billion stories and counting'

Well - utter rubbish, media peddled lies of a level probably not seen of before.

SBS began broadcasting in April 1979, although intermintantly for a few years.

Assuming best case scenario for SBS of 24 hour television continuous from 1st April 1979 with no repeats, ever

then 6 billion equates to 6.05 stories per second.

I have watched SBS, they do not average more than 6 new and original stories per second.

Thus 'six billion stories' is just media peddled lies, probably put out by the Fox network and supported by floridation of the water and vaccinations against intelligence.

scum, pure scum.

But you aren't counting the subliminal messages the Government is transmitting in the background of those shows.

Waiting for Fozzie to finish a sentence feels like 6 billions years?

I think SBS has got the mixture of boobs and hitler just right.

Ummm,


I think what that means is that everyone has a story to tell and there are about six billion people alive. The back drop is of ordinary people and people in difficult situations such as behind iron bars.

So its not just celebrities and famous people whose lives are important and interesting.

Thats how I see it. I don't see it as SBS counting its library and saying "we have six billion stories on file".

Sorry if I am stating the obvious. Not sure if we need sarcasm tags.

By the amount of red thumbs it seems not many people got it

I think Carantoc knows it refers to the 6bil people on the planet and the post is tongue in cheek.
Alternative is that he is so dumb we should study his brain in a science lab somewhere

I think you should report that one to "Media Watch" on ABC.

They started that slogan right when they started showing ads.. ie the day SBS died. I always read it as "6 Billion Dollars and counting".
