In an attempt to quell the naysayers of their "More Colorful" slogan, NBC cut right to the chase and unveiled another new tagline: "More Blacks and Gays."

"The public needs to know that we're not just catering to straight white 30-somethings," said Joe Johnson of NBC's marketing department. "As our ratings show, straight white 30-somethings don't like TV. Blacks and gays love it."

The new slogan accompanies a shift in the programming. In addition to a merger with the CW, NBC has signed a deal with popular black man, Tyler Perry.

Referring to Perry, Johnson exclaimed: "I've never seen any of his shows, but my one black friend sort of likes him."

A source revealed that Perry will replace Tracy Morgan on 30 Rock, explaining that "Morgan is loved by white people, which is why he's being replaced."

The soon to be christened "Tyler Perry's NBC" has yet to strike any new deals that will appeal to homosexuals, but the network's higher-ups felt that the colorful peacock will do the trick.

"Gays love rainbows," added Johnson. "It was staring us right in the face. Plus, they can get their fix on our gay cable channel, Bravo."
