A thirty second episode following a half-hour ad?? I’m not familiar with this website.
I hope this is a joke.

Is this website like “the onion”? Because that was probably the funniest story I’ve seen all week.

What, what, what? if this is real, I am amazed of new ways for TV. Definitively, I’d turn off the TV if I’d be in UK.

Sounds like they want it to be “experimental” and using the idea of “new media.” It also sounds like it will be crap.

“‘Every night,’ he promised, ‘for eight months, it’ll be like D’Arcy coming out of the lake for the first time. Except this time he’ll be clutching a Gilette razor and rubbing his smooth chin towards the camera.’”
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Totally swoon-worthy!!!!!!
P.S. It’s a joke, people. Read some of the other article titles on the right side of the linked page. Very much like The Onion or Mad Magazine.

Oh, c’mon, guys. Wasn’t the reference to Lost in Austen a clue? I think everyone knows what I think about that one! I thought the article was hilarious and totally spot-on.

It may be a joke now, but somewhere some TV executive is pitching this idea…and not into the garbage can 🙂
