I agree with you ... I just don't like the new Burger King commercials. Too "scarey". I know a couple youngsters who scream and hide everytime the Burger King ad comes on ... he scares them more than Freddy Krueger, who the kids think is funny. Go figure.
But I have to admit there's never any doubt about the company BK is representing.
Unlike the old "Where's the beef?" lady (Clara Peller), no one will forget which burgers the "botox" king is pitching. Although I loved Clara's character, I had to do a web search to confirm which burger she was pushing (it was not Burger King or Micky D, by the way).

I must be lagging on watching TV cos I haven't seen that commercial....the one I am talking about is where a 'gay' guy introduces, I think it was the BK salad...funky glasses, hair, clothes...c'mon, someone's got to remember that one. Those were the type of commercials I was referring to in my earlier post. And now there is one about a 'gay' guy pimping this car..dressed in all white...(laughing as I type this)....I guess I got too much time on my hands today.... Posts: 455 | Registered: Feb 2004

well, here's how i see things. all of this fwiw and in my vHo....
if mr. fan is paying for this 'vdc' carriage, at least we know THAT money went to a start-up, and may at least boost awareness and viewers. some people must be getting paid, or we wouldn't be airing. all positive for qtn.
btw...is anybody (besides me) bothered that this mr. lloyd fan (or harold hsu, or harold lsu, or"?"...)
...who has been publicly announced by the company as the new 'man in control'
...for whom little authoritative, verifiable credentials have been provided
...who has presented no documents (that the common shareholders are aware of), stock certificates, cashiers checks or receipts, or agreements of any kind (such as: a CONTRACT).
[how many shareholder dollars is mr. fan to be or is being compensated with?] [how was mr. fan put in charge--bod vote, options, contract, cash, charity?]
...official wa sos corporate filings for tmm and qtn reflect no changes of corporate officers (ie: president/chairman)
...with no evidence of majority ownership
--is spending the shareholders money.
he can't own more than frank's 53%. he can't own frank's 53%. treasury could have those 'buyback' shares. there's also whatever is issued and outstanding, and whatever is left of the a/s after all that.
all of mr. fan's shares plus all of that still will not equal frank's 53%.
again....for frank's shares (53% or however many) to change ownership to mr. lloyd fan or anybody else, there must be a federal filing.
a contract for pres/chairman is all well and good, but for frank's 53% share ownership to transfer (even into the treasury), he must file with the sec.
unless frank no longer owns 53%. if that is the case, then the majority is held by....who? again, why mr. fan? who voted him in?
no 53%, no 50%, no quorum or majority. ...shareholder vote? anybody get a proxy?
people ask ...where has all the money gone?
maybe...from QBID (tmm), to Franklyn Broadcasting, to frank....
...better than tinkers to evers to chance.......
how about...from QBID (tmm), to qtn, to nti, to nevada corp. of frank and his valcom buddies....
...LBS, Gulf State Holdings....
or....from QBID (tmm), to qtn, to [INSERT NAME of frank olsen D.B.A. entity HERE]....

KC, there's no requirement to file anything with the SEC per CEO transfer, or sale of stock or the buying of Frank's shares if the stock trades on the pink sheets. with the exception of certain "qualified" foreign issuers, the pink sheets are a non-reporting third market not regulated by the SEC.
i do wonder how Fan got control of the company though. maybe when the A/S was raised to 350 bill, all that was purchased by Fan. who knows though.

I haven't played PokerStars for quite awhile. Been playing UltimateBet freerolls to win a seat on their weekly TV show. Also trying for a seat at the Aruba tournament.
I've also been playing freeroll tournaments lately on BOSPoker. It offers freerolls for real money prizes, althought they're small (like $13.50 top prize), but that money can be used to enter larger-prize games. A friend turned $8.50 (second prize) into several hundred. I have not been so lucky, but I do win money occasionally.
Got my wife playing now too ... online and in live tournaments. We have been playing two or three times a week locally, and will be going to Vegas later this summer.

per SEC website. i believe someone else posted this a couple of days ago.
The Pink Sheets does not require companies whose securities are quoted upon its systems to meet any listing requirements. With the exception of a few foreign issuers, the companies quoted in the Pink Sheets tend to be closely held, extremely small and/or thinly traded. Most do not meet the minimum listing requirements for trading on a national securities exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market. Many of these companies do not file periodic reports or audited financial statements with the SEC,

Those are very good points and questions, for the most part, and “WE” need answers. IMO, This is the kind of TRANSPARENCY that should be revealed. Let's hope Lloyd can deliver. "WE" have been burned once before with the Frankie the Fraudster - "WE" don’t need to be misled again. Therefore, I am still skeptical – hoping, but skeptical none-the-less.

King-are you sure he has to file if he is on the pink sheets? Usually you would file with the SEC (not sure if its 10b-5 or rule 16?...its too early this morning)
Since you don't have to file your financials, it seems you would not have to file any type of sales. But again, i could be totally offbase. Thanks in advance if you could provide guidance.

With so many suspect securities and even scams on pink sheets...im surprised people have not gone after the folks that manage the pink sheets trading system. Clearly they are in a better position to monitor the legitimacy of these stocks than anyone else.

state of washington disagrees. however, in all fairness, william at wa sos says that the filing to change corporate officers could take a while to post. even a month or so. reasons for not filing can't be financial--costs $10, $20 if you expedite and be posted in a couple days.

Noticed that too. Could it be that MM or principles of QBID are no longer trading the stock based on the statement that someone made from IHUB that investigators and attorneys were involved. These may be people brought in by Mr. Fan to help straighten out the audit. IMO

CLEVELAND, April 12 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Q Television, a national network directed to the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community, has become the second gay-themed cable channel to run the United Church of Christ's "ejector" commercial for free as a public service announcement.
QTN plans to run the UCC's 30-second "ejector" spot at least six or seven times a day because of its positive, LGBT-inclusive message, a QTN spokesperson said.
The decision comes a week after LOGO, a Viacom-owned, gay- focused network, rejected the ad, apparently in keeping with its parent company's blanket decision to deny the UCC's gay-positive advertisements. QTN becomes the second gay network to say it will run the spots as public service announcements. Here! TV announced on April 11 that it will run the church's message indefinitely on its national premium cable channel.
"The management of Q is very pleased to participate in the airing of your public service announcement," Frank Hagan, QTN's general manager and programming director. "We are a network of inclusiveness, which is the bottom line message of your 'ejector' PSA."
QTN, a 24-hour network owned wholly by Triangle Multi-Media Limited Inc. in Burbank, Calif., is available through several cable systems, including Time-Warner, Cox Communications and RCN, among others.
"QTN commends (the UCC's) efforts," Hagan said. "Personally and professionally, I also appreciate the message and the messenger."

This brings up an interesting thing. I think I remember someone calling the studio and asking for Frank. The answer was something like "he's not in yet". I wonder if they asked for Frank Olsen or just Frank. The phone answerer could have easily thought they were asking about Frank Hagan!
Just a though. Milliam
