Recent brainstorming meeting at MSNBC:
"We need a program for the graveyard shift - no-one ever watches them, so we can't get any funding for a decent program or investigation. Ideas anyone?"
"Well, the creators of 'The Simpsons' always do a clips show whenever they run out of ideas - perhaps we can do that?"
"A Clips Show - what that?"
"Simple - you take a collection of old programs of a similar theme, cut them up and splice them together to make what appears to be a new program."
"But who'd watch crap like that? At least 'The Simpsons' is funny - won't people realise that all we've done is rehashed a bunch of old out of date programs?"
"That's the beauty of the graveyard shift - the only people who will watch are the dregs of society, and they're either stoned or drunk. Every upstanding member of society will be in bed at that time."
"Talking of "The Simpsons', how are we going to convince these drunks and junkies to watch our program instead of a repeat of 'The Simpsons'? We have to at least try to convince our advertisers that we get good viewing figures."
"Promise to show tits..."
