VH1, Jack Black and the team from Channel101.com have announced the first step in reforming the runaway user-generated content movement with the newly formed "Department of Acceptable Media" The "Department" will be responsible for a website that will launch in early 2007 followed by a weekly TV series premiering on VH1 in the Spring of 2007. Jack Black, Dan Harmon and Rob Schrab became pioneers of the do-it-yourself TV movement with Channel 101, a competitive forum for digital shorts founded in 2003, anticipating the YouTube revolution by a several years. Realizing they could not stand by while the tidal wave of user-generated content threatened to overwhelm the internet, they founded the new "Department Of Acceptable Media" founded on the principle that, in Black's words, "some stuff is just not acceptable."
