This is Why Emmys are Not Worth Shit
People sometimes email me and ask why I poke fun at the Emmy awards and say they are not worth anything?
Because winning an Emmy is on par with becoming a member at Sam's Club. Pay your money and you are basically in.
Texas recently had their Emmy awards for the state and just about every TV station won multiple awards.
Of course, they are had to pay money to enter a submission in each category. You can tell by the list of winners, that the big winner was the Emmys themselves.
They raked in a fortune.
Here is a list of tweets of the winners sent out by the Lone Star Emmys.
Remember, as you scroll down the list, this is just for one state. Now times this by 50 and you get the idea of how many Emmys that are handed out each and every year.
It's a farce and a money making scheme and nothing more.
Go ahead, don't read them, just scroll to see how long it is:
And now the list of winners taken from the Lone Star EMMY twitter feed.
