Al Gore's Current files for $100 million IPO

It is like a facebook for tv. Bulls___ hype with no real valuation, purpose and long (heck... short) term viability

The shorts are monotonous, the topics go from crappy to super-crappy and these aren't worth anything. Are they still using ads from DeVry University and some home-exercise equipment? I heard the VPs there are overpaid.

I work in the same building as Current, and am positive that they're not going anywhere. Even though they've grown so much that their lobby has turned into a cube farm, there is one criterion that dictates their success: the hottie quotient.

As an entertainment company, the number of hot co-eds trying to work their way into the industry is woefully low. The ad agency AKQA in the same building has talent that runs rings around Current staff.

That powerpoint didn't have anything in it about IPO timing did it? Seems like it said one of the best years to start prep on an IPO like this was 1999.

Channel's unwatchable. It's nothing like Youtube, which it sort of pretends to be. Fail.

C'mon, it's a simple calculation here:
* Current TVs success is based on hell freezing over.
* Global Warming will *increase* the global temperature and thereby bring on huge *decrease* in the actual temperatures, bringing ice storms and climate catastrophes just like in "Day after Tomorrow".
* Then Hell, having frozen over, will bring huge revenues to CurrentTV. It's simple, you silly non-believers!

anyone can make money by submitting videos, they also have studios in LA that employees failed actors who are either to proud or lack the goods to join the porn industry to do "wrap around's"
