So, last night I'm watching the ep of "24" that I taped Tuesday night (Laker game conflict. What can I say?) and I finally figured out why "Fastlane" is getting all pimped by Fox:
I counted the number of shots in the promo and more than half of them were of half-dressed women.
It was almost like watching an ad for rutting "Girls Gone Wild" mixed in with a cop show, I swear.
Between "Joe 'Let's Watch Women Make Asses Of Themselves' Millionaire" and the other realitycrap on Fox, I am 99.9% sure that 1)this will be the last season for "24" and 2)if the "X-Files" were a new Fox show today, it would be canceled after 6 shows.

I suspect that's why the character of Kim Bauer is still hanging around on '24' -- to provide the "young hottie in distress" factor. Her storyline is the weakest part of the show.

If there is a third season, I vote that Kim comes back as the chief villain, having been driven insane by the events of the first two seasons...

Unfortunately, networks know that sex and scantily clad women fetch ratings, so they will pimp out young actress, go w/ big explosions, lots of violence, and car chases to grab viewers since the show will lack in plot.

Damn shame. Why can't they do all of that
*and* a good storyline too?

They did. The show was called Firefly. Perhaps you're heard of it?

Ok, they didn't pimp Inara out. Technically she had no pimp. But she did have a nude bathing scene, and a lesbian scene. I hear that men find that sexy.

Which brings me to an only partly related question: Men thinking lesbian-action is hot; whats up with that?

Come to think of it, I don't want to know the answer. And yes, I am running on roughtly three hours of sleep.

XANDER: Oh. Not that I wouldn't be all ears if you wanted to tell me a secret about you two. Even if it was very, very naughty.

I can't speak for the men, but there are hundreds of straight female slashfic fans who think guy-guy action is VERY hot. Oh baby!

A bit off topic, but if you want the answer, at least the best I can provide being a man, email me:

Let me 'splain:
From what I understand, apparently guys see one of the women as themselves doing what she's doing to the other one. Not the one having it done to her.
