This is a thread for public access television. Post your local public access legends.

World Wide Magazine was a public access television show that used to run late night here in Saint Louis. It was headed up by a wacky cab driver named Pete Parisi and an eccentric cast of characters that varied from a genuine black crackhead to toothless Hillbillys. Pete would go around the city and stir up shit and just generally annoy and make fun of people and local events. He always got kicked out of The V.P. Fair (now Fair Saint Louis) and anywhere else he happened to clown around at. A lot if these videos belong in the tritone thread, but since Pete made fun of anyone who crossed his path, I figured I'd group them all in one thread that I will update from time to time. Here's WWM's own crackhead Black Jesus to kick things off:


In this clip, Pete visits Saint Louis Centre, a downtown money sink shopping mall that was destined for greatness but immediately went to shit when people figured out how many ghetto folk inhabit downtown. Tritone will not like this, but Jigaloo will. Skip to 1:50 for fun:



And to be fair to all races, I give you The Fabulous Horner Brothers. Three drunk white trash hoosiers walking around South Grand St. Making fools of themselves:



When I was young, me and my sisters would always stay up late on Fridays to catch World Wide Magazine, because you never really knew what you were going to get. I'm going to try and find the viewer's hotline footage. Pete would play any message left on his machine. From death threats to kids pranking, pete played it. The city fucking hated this guy, but he was always a hero of mine. WWM went off the public airwaves 12 something years ago when Parisi succumbed to a heart attack.
