Kudos to billyboy_will for this awesome post on ITM in a thread about the ongoing fiasco at Channel 9.

TV Exec1: Lets make everything so bland everyone likes it

CEO: Brilliant! people will watch anything as long as its on TV.. just make it bland.. what could possibly take away our lovely revenue generating zombies! Muhahahaha

ALL:: Whats THAT! (pointing)

CEO: (shouting) Holy shit its PAY TV!!!! The bastards.

TV Exec1: No matter, we are still free, people dont want to pay for TV. But oh noes! there are less people watching us now, we are going to have to make our shows exceptionally bland, that way we can get the same number of people as before.

TV Exec2: Exactly. Now, considering everyone likes CSI, how about we have 2 CSI’s and if that works.. even more. Buffy also worked quite well, can anyone come up with anything like buffy?

CEO: Like buffy, but it was so original… oh.. wait… Im am thinking instead of hot bitches slaying vampires.. lets make it hot witches kicking demons asses!

TV Execs: Brilliant!

Exec1: Nobody will ever get sick of shows like that.

(A slow rumbling)

Exec2: Whats that?

CEO: I dunno, i think it might be the internet, dont pay any attention, thats just for nerds, now.. back to the bland shows.

Exec1: ummm…. boss.. that internet thing getting a fair bit bigger, and he has a friend with him called DVD.

CEO: Dont be silly. We will be fine, just another hurdle, we will just have to make our shows… super bland!

(yelling) Can somebody get Rove in here right now! And bring in that list of meaningless demeaning stunts. We have some gold logies to win boys.
