How long will it take before FOX picks this mini-series up from Britian and makes a reality TV series with it.

I would guess in the nano-seconds.

we'll probably see it in a week or two, because you just know that they have spies here

I find this funny because you just know this is the quality of entertainment FOX is looking for :)

I seen you without your clothes on before. Never thought I'd see you naked.

It's not demeaning enough. But lets put on our thinking caps and come up with a truly FOXworthy series.

I've got it, "Who wants to get a sex change operation," 10 straight men compete for the million dollar prize going through a series of challenges involving cross dressing and karaoke. As the field is narrowed contestants go under the knife for the preliminary operations for gender reasignment surgery. But only one lucky shemale will win the money and the final operation.

The tag line, "Is your penis worth a million dollars?"

Wow, seems like a great, informative program... but good gorram they could have come up with a better title. It's like "the 40 year old virgin":you know what you're getting, but damn, it's so uninspiring.

"But, these strong women characters?"

True. Doesn't make what I posted any less horrific though.

I've been thinking hard and can't come up with anything much worse than yours, Dave. Well, not that I'd post on a public forum. Or e-mail anyone.

(Unless maybe a singing contest starting with rank amateurs trying out all over the country...)
