But still, the title is just unsettling. I think somebody at the Discovery Channel watched that episode one too many times.

Posted this in the wrong spot (apologies to Nixorbo--all humans are vermin in the eyes of Nixorbo! ) and thought I'd repeat it here where it belongs... "Me no like "Futurama." Me like this." --FOXecutive V. Wurmstrom From The IMBD: Tonya Harding To Go Into The Ring Against Amy Fisher Fox is planning a new reality TV series, Celebrity Boxing, which is scheduled to debut as a Dick Clark-produced special on March 13, with bad-girl figure skater Tonya Harding and Long Island Lolita Amy Fisher duking it out. Newsday reported today (Thursday) that a future match will pit Darva Conger against Paula Jones. Fox exec Mike Darnell told the newspaper that Clark "loves the idea," adding, "He thinks it's funny and clever, and that's all our attitude. No one's going to get hurt."

Nah. "Gladiatorial Combat" is what's next. Either that, or a grittier version of Survivor. 10 death-row inmates are stranded on an island, and the last one left alive gets a reprieve.

I think death match survivor is a good idea, if you are going to kill them anyways then they might as well entertain us, they could as have a prison big brother to see what the prisoners get up to when they drop the soap in the shower or alone together in their cells at night

I saw the commercial for this. Any doubts I had about FOXecutives being monkeys have finally been laid to rest.

Originally posted by Nixorbo: Shh! FOX might hear us! That's such bull. I'm no flag-burning, First Amendment-pontificator, but that's a big load of baloney. How can CEOs not expect to catch flak when they make unpopular decisions? Did this Whatley guy make serious, false allegations about the Xybernaut corporation? I can understand if counterfactual claims were made that Xybernaut was dumping mutagenic waste into Lake Erie or testing their products on third world orphans. If the assertions were vauge, largely unproveable, and directed at a public figure or organization ("Microsoft is poisoning our minds" , I can't understand why there would even be a lawsuit. If this is how the winds of change are blowing, just wait until corporations can hire contract killers to eliminate their critics. [edit]God damn smilies.------------------ No signature.

The IMDB article references a Newsday story, which is online at: http://www.newsday.com/entertainment/tv/ny-c2605318feb28.story?coll=ny%2Dtelevision%2Dprint It contains a really funny quote of Fox backpedaling from their backpedaling (would that be forward-pedaling???): Following the "Who Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire" fiasco last February, Fox executives ran for cover, promising to get out of the schlock reality-TV biz, and even hired an accountant to make sure future contests were legitimate.
A network spokesman, however, yesterday said that what executives really meant was that they planned to distance themselves from schlockumentaries like "When Animals Attack." "Every participant [in 'Boxing'] is voluntary, and it isn't exploitative," he said.Ah, so they want to be able to share the shame of the show with the participants, not just be shamed for showing it.
