Neva in Berkeley was looking to kill time between classes with some trashy TV when she noticed this teaser for an episode of Rock of Love. “The description did not match the episode at all,” Neva says, “but it was far more entertaining.”

Resumè watching.
That’s what it’s all about. Getting a dependable referee, and watertight references. Then you too might be lucky enough to snag this one, or his friend.

What’s the best way to need a new job? Bring your personal life into it and open your employer up to FCC complaints and fines, of course!

That is GREAT! I wish all TV listings were like that!

I’m sure he assumed people watching Rock of Love wouldn’t read the description because most people who watch Rock of Love can’t read.

“Open, honest and partial”: only one of these words seems applicable t0 whores and their respective exes.

I don’t think much of his spelling.
Surely a film that lasts just 38 mins is put up purely to satisfy a man’s afternoon hand-shandy session, it should instead be
Execs and Ho’s?
I mean wtf are Oh’s

I can’t help but notice that this looks like it’s for Exes and Ohs (which is a real show: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0799893/) and not Rock of Love. It doesn’t make any more sense that way; can’t imagine Bret Michaels on E&O, can’t imagine that has anything to do with the plot of the episode, but it does add a new layer of crazy.

I really, really, really want to meet the people who write the TV show and movie blurbs for the Comcast On Demand stuff. Because so many of them are hilarious and ridiculous.

I was watching TV, once, and I guess I should mention that in Sweden, where I lived, “Third Watch” is called “Trejde Skiftet” (The Third Shift). Well, somebody messed up the TV listings one night, and instead, it said “Trejde Skitet” (The Third Shit). Which, I suppose, fit pretty well, as it wasn’t such a great show.
Wow…I told a pointless story!

I’ve seen descriptions like this for other things on comcast too! I wonder who they’re hiring to write and if anyone monitors them… somehow I can’t see the CEO approving.

Gavin ?
Are you sure you only write about offshore tax havens and such?
If so (and if the dryness of the material has you yearning for some alternate channel of creative release), maybe Comcast {or whatever cable company is in your area [wherever that is]} might be a door you want to knock on for some part-time telecommuting Xtra income.
Oops, out of brackets…off to Home Depot,
ty
P.S. “Oh’s” are like in “Oh! Oh! Oh! Ohhhh!…Gavin, that was wonderful ! More, please.” Ring a bell ? A chime ? Many of us are sawyers here, but we all try to be cunning linguists*.

I personally think the best way to find out about a new girl is to stalk them online, hide in their bushes outside their window, and tail their vehicle for a day.
Er.. O.O;

We went through a short stint at work where we were programming our own guide. It was SOOO tempting to put things like this in. Especially for Infomercials.
“1 AM – Paid Program – WHY THE HELL ARE YOU WATCHING THIS??? CHANGE THE FUCKING CHANNEL”.
Sadly, I like my job.

You know Comcast gets the program descriptions and guide data from Tribune Media Services. Don’t blame Comcast

Well, I wonder what the guy typed in the ‘adult section’ movies if he was writing this? I bet he is no longer employed with Comcast.
With a few colorful changes you could make this quite a popular pay per view event.
Fill in the blanks with your fave colorful sexy phrases and Comcast will charge you $14.99 per movie (not that I would know or anything).
“Exes and ooooohs”
“What’s the best way to _____ a new girl? _____ her ex-boyfriend of course. I’m sure they’ll be ____, _____, and _____ (just like I _____ about my ex-the whore).”

This is totally like in the end of Billy Madison when half of the final categories are things like “my wife, the whore” and other shit like that. hahahaha Classic Sandler!

I used to work for the company that does the listings for Comcast. I’m frightened I might know this person and I’m really glad I stuck to the don’t date your co-workers policy.

M.L.65…
I’m male.
I’m flattered.
I’ve given and I’m taken.
Circumstances change sometimes.
Earthquakes, lightning, disease, beer trucks…
Check in from time to time and say Hi if you want to.
Curious about what we’d be doing with that sodium carbonate if we were both female. I’ve read up on/scanned some uses of the stuff and I’m not seeing anything that conjures up visions of “Rawrg!”, so please advise. Is there some reason hetero folks can’t or shouldn’t use it ?

Well, being pretty hetero-, if I had to team with another Chlorine lassie, I’d prefer to fore-go the earthy Cad (been there, done that, bought the dvd) and hook up instead with a lonely O. He’d be grateful for the bond, and if there’s enough sparks, it’d still be explosive….

Only the Lonely ‘O’, put another coin in the jukebox (? do we even still have jukeboxes) and dance the night away.
Hope the earthy Cad wasn’t too rude a dude.

There still are jukeboxes, only now they play cds and take credit cards…
My earthy cad was what he was: soft, ductile and toxic, by nature bivalent; whereas I require a more exclusive bond.
I’ve hereby exhausted what little I’ve retained of high school chemistry, but I’ll be around.

Ah…haven’t been in a juke-equipped establishment in a while. Thanks.
Sure hope you used appropriate safety measures with The Cad. If I’m going to get sick, I think I’d much rather go with something like peyote.
Taking a breather from chemistry seems like a good idea. At the risk of appearing cad-ish (Allen Ginsberg references may be risky), which was your favorite subject ? Or second favorite, if chemistry was first?
P.S. I barely do strike-out effect + denote *emphasis* with fore and aft asterisks, so don’t take a lack of flash for lack of interest or appreciation.

I am for the most part self-educated. The arts, sciences, language… all, at one time or another, have held my attention to the exclusion of all else. (I suppose art and science called to me more, though, since not long ago I broke up with corporate America and became a massage therapist. I like to say I haven’t worked a day since, because I love it so.)
And you?

That’s actually my friend’s show. It’s hilarious. The funniest lesbian comedy on TV.
Don’t blame her for the teleprompt intern fucking up and putting her script VO text into the logline box, instead of the episode’s actual logline!
