Urban Non-Legend: The Secret Richpeople Channel
June 13th, 2007 by timbotronThere is a secret TV channel that only rich people can get.
Here is the reality: No, it is not a secret. Yes, it is a little creepy.
It is called “Plum TV” (the name alone is the flavor of lame that rich people flock to). On their website, Plum TV states:
“Plum is dedicated to producing the most informative and entertaining programming that celebrates life in our vibrant communities.”
The vibrant communities that Plum TV celebrates happen to be:
•Aspen
•The Hamptons
•Martha’s Vinyard
•Nantucket
•Telluride
•Vail
Regarding their use of the word “our” - one could surmise that it refers to those who own the costly properties in these celebrated (and gated) communities. The wealthy don’t celebrate their lives enough these days - it’s good to know there’s a whole channel dedicated to doing so.

I’m wondering if they did any focus group testing on their logo concepts before deciding on that one. You know, cus it sorta looks like a penis head entering a vagina. Maybe it’s just me. I dunno.

It’s not dirty, it’s just based on a Georgia O’Keefe painting.
