Radio Waves: The Battle of the Sexes

So if you remember, I said I was going to complain more about the radio in my last post. If you don't remember take a quick look at the post before this one... it's ok this post isn't going anywhere...

So I assume that was enough time for you to make that quick check. Anyways, moving on, I noticed something on the radio. And it was kinda bothering me. On VIBE 98.5 they have this little contest called "Battle of the Sexes". When I first heard it, I thought "I'm pretty sure I've heard this before. I was right! Every morning (not weekends) my parents will listen to Lite 96 another radio station. But they used to have a similar contest called "Battle of the Sexes" The two aren't very different but I'm pretty sure Lite 96 has been around alot longer than VIBE. But here are some things about them.

VIBE: -The intro to it is "Battle of the Sexes!" in a way that is slightly musical. The tune is similar to that "We will, we will rock you!"
-The contest usually involves the contestants simply listing something in ten seconds. An example being: list as many brands of beer in 10 seconds.

Lite 96: -The intro sounds more like one of those contest tv shows. It's still "Battle of the Sexes!" Kinda like the price is right but it doesn't really incorporate any tune. It just sounds like an audience saying it.
-They ask multiple choice questions in this one. Men get questions like, which percent of women say they [insert something women do] and vice versa for women. They get questions like, what percent of men, cheer while watching sports or something along those lines.

Either way, the way I see it, VIBE stole the idea from Lite 96! Either that or got permission from them to use the idea. Which leads me to say, VIBE SUCKS!!! But then again, that might be because I've been forced to listen to them all summer... ugh...

On another note, I think I'll start posting things that are not me complaining about something.
