A few days ago in a place far from the brain-dead masses. . .
It was a dark time for the Askewers. Although the Mouse Empire
has given them an Animated Series, network programmers have
plotted a reign of terror amidst the disenchanted schedule of
rerun season.
The Mouse has many weapons in its arsenal, and every one of
them has been turned upon the Askewers and their allies;
rescheduling, head games, no commercials, lack of publicity,
underwhelming lead-ins, and dumb-ass network executives.
Ignorance keeps the poor deprived summer rerun TV slave unaware,
missing edgy TV for reruns of dimunitive talk show elves handing out
money.
The stalwart Askewniverse has dared challenge the Mouse by
questioning its methods and motives publicly, but the road is
just starting ahead. Outnumbered and neglected, the
Askewers nevertheless burn across the Internet, fanning the
fires of hope. But the Mouse has ordered this show cancelled,
setting the mindless network machine it has constructed into motion.
