It has been a while, but I haven't forgotten...
Hey folks,

Thought I'd throw up the following video on my blog, for those that disliked Achmed:



This is one of my new favorite songs, "Crowd Chant" by Joe Satriani, done in Guitar Hero style. Do what I do, crank it up as loud as you can get it and let the notes fly.

Anyway, so where were we? Oh right, I'm back, kind of like new episodes of your favorite TV shows, as the writers have finally settled. About time too. I was going so stir crazy I was going to create my own network with spoofs of television shows, such as "Two and a Half Bens" (about a geneticist who attempts to clone himself twice, but messes up on the second one, leaving off his legs), "Hell's Kitchen" (no real spoof here, but this time actually have the contestants compete to be the head chef in, well, Hell. You could have Gordon Ramsay yelling at them when they screw up and get pissed off when Jeffrey Dahmer leaves - "Oh, cmon, Dahmer is leaving, that guy will eat anything!"), and then my crown jewel..."Straight Eye for the Queer Guy" (Five heterosexual men help a gay man to become more manly in order to attract a mate, with such activities as visiting strip clubs, replacing art with beer and sports mirrors, and hunting).

In addition, I was also thinking about a game show that has the premise of helping victims of natural disasters, only for the prizes to be completely inapproriate (example: Have a guy who survived both the tsunami and Hurricane Katrina and is understandably afraid of water, play for a prize of a vacation for one to a resort island in the middle of the South Pacific, where he will be surrounded by water). In addition, mix in a host who has Oprah-like qualities and who is outraged and shocked every time one of these prizes comes up, and you've got a game show worth watching.

Of course, when I told some friends about this, they suggested the following:

- A driving and car review show where they review crappy old cars as if they were new (The 1974 Volkswagen Cheraco had one-bar slide seating, one giant bucket seat, and an AM/FM radio and 8-track player. You can get it at your local used-car dealership (*ahem* junkyard *ahem*) for a great price of $20).

- A spoof of the iPod commercials, with the shadow of a soldier taking and reponding to enemy fire to the tune of Pat Benetar's "The Warrior". To top it off, instead of iPod, it'll appear as "iRaq".

Of course, as you can see, I've lost my mind, but when no one will provide you with good entertainment, make your own.

What do you guys think? Should I film these and fire 'em on YouTube as a free web show? Let me know eh...I've got a million warped ideas screaming for a canvas.
