That's right, the half hour show of free-to-air version of
Skunkworks has 30 minutes of black screen and silence
punctuated by annoyingly frequent advert breaks. :-P

True, they have a channel for nearly everything these days
and someone is prepared to subscribe!

40 Channels and nothing on?
Oh no, I've had the urge to write again...
Jim sat at the table, supporting his head on his right paw,
offical letter in the left. "Those bastards!"
Lori strolls in and opens the fridge. Finding nothing of
immediate interest, closes the door and turns to the
porcupine seated at the kitchen table. "What's wrong?"
The skunk wandered towards Jim to read over his shoulder.
"The Broadcasting Assocation. They're issuing me a Cease &
Desist! After I went to all that effort to get a cable
channel to show our movie!" Jim fumed as he looked over
the letter again, quills bristling in anger.
"Oh well, that's okay then," Lori smiled smugly, having
assessed the situation and turned to leave.
"What? After all the work we put into it? I'm not toning
it down for some conservative mundanes! Fuck them!" Jim
slammed the page down on the tabletop.
Lori glanced over her shoulder "Yeah, we did, that's why
they're only issuing you a Cease & Desist and not trying to
sue your for all this bunkum they were saying, something
like 'unnatural, perverse acts or something'. So they got
laid and you got off with a warning!" The striped
mephitedae winked knowingly at Jim and clicked her tongue
twice as she strutted from the kitchen.
Jim supported his face in his paws, rubbing his eyes.
"With those three, I'm never sure whether they're helping,
or causing the problem in the first place..."
Scrapper, Black Dragon, why do I always get inspired to
write stuff when I _really_haven't_got_the_time_!
