Funeral channel?

[maurice jansen] “i fed him with some old sticky memorex tape.”

Memorex, that will kill anything dead — especially important stuff.

I never found a single taped project that used Memorex that lasted any real time at all.

At one point, in one of the studios I worked in, we had a laser-printed joke poster on the wall that said: Trust your memories to Memorex™ — yeah, right!?$#@!

I think an argument could be made, Maurice, that you used cruel and inhumane treatment of the prisoner.

Poor deck… with that old gal, just best to consider it euthanasia.

memorex is like tipp-ex

Of course. let’s put the “fun” back in funeral. We could have Jesse James build a hearse straight out of Monster Garage. The gals from Sex in the City could do an episode called “Necrophilia. How about if we resurrect the “Dead Zone” TV show…and, and, and the “dead zone” campaign from Verizon would fit right in.

I had an audition here last week and two of the guys were certified “Stiffs”. There’s some leading role material fer shure.

Maybe we can get an effects house to bring Billy Mays back to be our barker.

This could be BIG! Is channel 13 available?

I wonder how many bells are ringing in Ron’s “bad word” filter….

I;m going to bed.

Nick, I think this is a great idea and would be as much fun as the Wedding Channel, or even more so considering there are more hit Vampire shows then Bride and Groom Series on TV. In fact, if you ever get this together, call me as we have interesting funerals here (pujas) where the body is burned atop a big pile of wood and then the ashes are scattered in the river. Sometimes there are dozens of funerals burning at once, which is quite the scene. So consider us your funeral reporters in South Asia!

I’m sure someone could make a killing at this untapped market.

This is huge! Endless possibilities!!!!! YAY!
It would need educational programmes like Kentucky Fried Movies “Living with the dead”, gameshows, news, big brother with dead people, date my dead mom, dead jackass, the kustom koffin show, burial rites of the world… i guess it’s a huge market too!

[Robert Morris] “I’m sure someone could make a killing at this untapped market.”

I believe that would be on the new channel’s “MegaMurder Weekend” specials.

Sorry, I couldn’t pass that one up, either…

Drumroll please…

Maybe license Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here” as the channel’s theme song. Then again, the Alan Parsons Project’s “What Goes Up (Must Come Down)” would seem another natural choice.

But “putting the FUN back in funeral”…now that’s a slogan.

Steve you are sick. That’s why I like you.

Alright, you sick F-ers. Does everyone have the bad jokes out of their systems? I’m just amazed at how easily people are distracted by flash and spectacle to the point where real news is bumped. Then again, in this age of news organizations doing “more with less” no big surprise that endless coverage of Michael Jackson is far simpler than following the US President to Russia and the G8 Summit.

Hey, did anyone hear that while everyone was paying so much attention to all things Michael Jackson parts of the US IT infrastructure were attacked, purportedly by the North Koreans? Scary stuff even though it was only partially successful and only for a short time.

And while I’m on a rant… isn’t it kind of incredible how few people pay attention to where the REAL talent is? Before Quincy Jones started producing him Michael Jackson’s music was pablum pop. After parting with Quincy, yet I believe still keeping his engineer Geoff Emerick, the music was disjointed and not particularly good — well engineered, but musically not so much. IMHO.
