Victoria Rowell Launches Kickstarter Campaign for "The Rich and the Ruthless"

[VirginiaHamilton]

Now, this is something that I'll gladly donate my two pesos to:

Oh, Jesus.

[VirginiaHamilton]

I can see how a soap project that is helmed by a Black biracial woman can be offensive to some.

[ChitHappens]

I just made a pledge

[ChitHappens]

Pledge anyway. I gave $10!

[Vee]

Yes, God, you're so fuckin' right. That's exactly my reaction and that's exactly why I had it.

It has nothing to do with Kickstarter rapidly becoming a sad money dump for foolish pie in the sky vanity projects with no chance, often spearheaded by irresponsible or unstable people with no real business plan, achievable goals and milestones, or any kind of infrastructure or experience.

And I haven't even gotten to talking about Vicky Rowell or this "project" yet.

But you go ahead. Tell me it's about me being a [!@#$%^&*] racist. Right after you show me the [!@#$%^&*] business plan, goals and milestones.

Yaaasss!

Get it, Vicki. Start your own s#it instead of waiting on Y&R. But IDK why (too) she doesn't try and sell the pilot to film companies in Atlanta. I mean Tyler is right there, so why not try him?

[Cheap21]

In before this gets closed!

[AllMyDaysatGH]

Exactly. I'LL PASS ON THIS & add that I cannot f-cking stand how Kickstarter has become this trifling hub for celebs to grub money out of their fans like they don't have loads of dough laying around already! It just annoys me to no end! Meanwhile, countless promising projects by independent filmmakers (AKA what the site was originally geared towards) are barely or not even meeting their pledge every day. Done!!

Good luck to her though!

[ChitHappens]

It's a dollar!

[edgeofnik]

I hope it works for her. Would be great to see this on OWN or BET. Lifetime would be awesome, but I believe the previous two networks would be willing to ride it out longer. If I could afford to donate, I would. Will just have to support through Facebook and Twitter.

[VirginiaHamilton]

Hmm, last I checked, people possess this thing called free will. No one is forcing them to donate a dime to Queen Vicki's project, just as no one forces them to continuously tune in to complain about soaps that should've been cancelled years ago.

*shrug*

[ChitHappens]

It's a dollar!

[Vee]

My soap already got cancelled. What else you got? A business plan for this venture? Let me see it.

There is no pilot, no one attached, no nothing. Just a concept.

For a minute there I thought it was BD...damn has BD invaded VR body??..

I'll pass....I see though she has 7 hundred bucks so far...
