fictionalI'm not sure which is more terrifying:
the fact that our little coven of doom was riveted for about 2 hours by this little piece of programming Or that it was also a featured pick in the New York Times TV Guide thing.
Or was it that it was played on repeat 4 times? And that everyone seemed completely convinced that all viewers would be indubitably riveted for hours by the pup-tacular spectacle of it all? (Or that apparently they were right? Especially since we are going to purchase the DVD for $9.95 because otherwise we wouldn't have incontrovertible proof of the world's batshit insanity?)
I'm not sure if the network execs truly understood their own catastrophically frightening genius, or if it was simply some bizarre accident. Puppies! Just running around! On a very small amount of astroturf! For hours! And the water Bowl Cam - with awe-inspiring licking action! Bonus points for extra distorted muzzles! Humping the camera (which was a football, with legs, remote controlled to travel the 'stadium')! Fake camera flashes! Porn music! Fake Audience made of cardboard that resembled nothing so much as Jackson Pollack painting! No dialogue, aside from the occasional entree of the referee (Poor Bastard) whose job it was to clean up the shit - with increasingly random utterances - First down! Unsportspuplike Behaviour! Puppy Penalty!
