blind chicken

i realize we are on the same page here, but i need to vent a little on this issue.
'a doormat' is truly a fitting metaphor. FOX waltzed right into the not so elaborate 'cardboard box w/ stick and string' style trap laid by keith (intentional?). they then made/ fielded phone calls to/ from the media and donated the greatest promotional campaign thus far for the show. (sorry, chemda, but even better than stickers and keychains)

reminds me of new porn shops getting picketed by concerned parents and religious folks airing on anytown, usa's local prime time news stations. these clueless idiots work harder than anyone you could ever hire to promote the new sex shop, that they despise, for free. fuck commercials. just piss off some christians and pocket your advertising budget.

if the fox/simpsons p.r. dep't had any foresight, they never would have said a word about KATG or dignified a question regarding the whole domain name SNAFUBAR (tm- i claim that phrase). besides the free promo for KATG, they exposed their shitty planning by naming and releasing a movie without securing the dot com.

you'd think that the longest running series in the history of television might be able to dream up an alternate name for a movie they spent millions of dollars and years making. i don't think 'oops' really covers it. it's like calling the pacific ocean "damp".

statistically, even a blind chicken pecks up SOME corn.
better luck next time, FOX
