Freakylinks

I know you guys are probably getting sick of me posting about obscure television shows, but here goes.

About four years ago there was a show created by the directors of the Blair Witch Project that was really nothing like The Blair Witch Project. And yea, it was called Freakylinks. There was potential in its eyes, and in its corresponding website. The website was, of course, fabricated as a simulcast. Friday nights, late enough that I could watch, but not so late that I'd be pressed to get to bed, it was against shows like Popular on the WB. And it had potential. It really did. Derek Barnes inherits his brother's website for the strange and unusual, and then receives word that his brother may be alive. And that was only the beginning.

However, there was a great outcry. There was even a website urging people to write fox, misquoting one of the most liberal online newsletters- The Landover Baptists. (Seriously, they're the people that tell you you're going to hell just for the sake of God's wrath. God has no love for his people. We are AAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLL sinners.) And why? Why did people cry out against a little toned-down mayhem for Friday evening? The website cited the tragedy at Columbine. I don't believe they even had the slightest clue.

FOX postponed its run for a string of "Millionaire" shows, and then brought it back five months later. It didn't stand a chance. Somebody, release it on DVD already!
