That would only be annoying if you are not staying on the Island. If you catch the ferry over every day from the mainland, yes, that becomes tiring. But if you are staying over and you catch the ferry on your arrival and return, it can be a comfortable soothing ride. </div></div>

the ride was comfortable and soothing - waiting in line was not - LOL </div></div>

&quot;Black Entertainment Television chose the relatively inaccessible island — rather than New York — last week to launch its new Centric TV channel, aimed at middle-class blacks.&quot; </div></div>

it struck me the same way it struck you.. renk and outa arda

but BET is owned by Viacom and dem a tek libaty..

</div></div>

its really the writer of the article who put that spin on it, about being &quot;relatively inaccessible&quot; and implying some kind of classism on BET's part. viacom's plan could have been to launch Centric on MV because it signifies the targeted demographic. New York to me is youth and rap/hip hop culture, which is not the audience they see for Centric, so it makes sense to me they would not have it there.

or viacom could just be racist patronizing basterds.
