The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress

I'm probably coming off as a humorless bitch.
Everyone knows I'm a very funny bitch.
Actually my intent was to puzzle out some reason why FOX would act the way they do and to get a funny column out of it.
I also hoped that praising the show to the skies -- which I did, sight unseen, on faith -- would get people interested enough to look into it. It grew out of a conversation I was having last week with a coworker to whom I'd loaned my "Firefly" set. "You know, it's a lot easier to recommend a show when you can just hand it to somebody." That spawned the notion that this could be what FOX had in mind all along, and there I went.

Can't you do the same thing to the empty ball socket?
Can't you do the same thing to the empty ball socket?
I don't think it's the same sort of pain. Of course, you could take steps to make sure it never heals, but I think you've removed the fun bits.
Silly me. I was thinking balls attached to body, in Tupperware.
So Chris, you don't mind if random strangers have you all fitted out in vacuum-sealed codpieces, do ya?
See - a real buffistas welcome. 30 minutes here and we are discussing your intimate parts.
