'It appears that the ever expanding games retailer Special Reserve is about to launch a new Satellite channel, featuring most of the aspects of the entire company institution. We have an exclusive glimpse at what might be featured on this exciting new channel (subject to change, natch)
The channel will apparently be mainly devoted to selling games, DVDs and all the products SR currently sells. However, several features will appear, in a bold attempt to try and lighten up the commercial television scene. These features will incorporate many elements, in particular the ideas of the users of UkDiscussions.com, where people put up endless, mostly pointless topics for general consumption. Here is a basic outline, supplied by 'Darkus of the Night' a minion of the SR Empire:
*JAT ATTACK*
This exciting new game show, hosted by varying notables (gold plated people) from week to week, will see contestants (Regulars) attempting to destroy as many JATS (annoyingness personified) as possible, by using various funny and not so funny quips and insults. Winners gain very little but the immense satisfaction of getting a 'BANNED' award from the audience, who vote if they think the Regular had done a good enough job of not letting the JAT get in a word...
*SNUGGLYS SOLUTIONS*
Kilroy? Jerry Springer? Amateurs compared to this man. A really caring chat show host, where 'unsettled' people can go and let it all out to the sympathetic ear of Snuggly, who will offer various solutions. He can even cry on demand.
*MEKA AND CO*
This new DIY program is sure to spice up your house! Meka Dragon and an army of minions, mostly loyal newbies, will come around to your house, and for a small (well, quite big actually) fee, they can redecorate any thing you want to. Just beware Masta Rasta the plumbers ‘hilarious’ reaction to Mekas obvious distaste at him. Foppish shirt not included in Mekas fee (you have to buy one for him).
*WHATS WRONG WITH THE WORLD TODAY?*
Here, practisced cynics and thinkers, from the vast mass of them on the forums, in particular from the ‘Life’ forum, come together and rant and rave about all that is wrong. Audience participation is strictly not allowed and if any hippies break on to the show, armed with flowers and the ‘F’ word, they better beware! Some people can vaporise them with a single vehement stare of pure cynicism!
*AT HOME WITH THE NINTYS*
A sitcom of ‘immensely funny proportions’TM, featuring the most dedicated ‘Nintys’ from the SR Empire. The entire show consists of Mario sounds and tips on how to kill XBox fans slowly and painfully, interspersed with the odd laugh, usually induced by Edgys hilarious ‘ Indeed’ comment, that everybody seems to copy and then fall about chuckling at. Not to mention Microchips and his ‘funny face’.
*MYSTIQUES MSTERY MINION!*
Every week, Mystique will tempt the viewer in to guessing which minion she has in her ‘Cage’. Winners get to be in the ‘Cage’ for the next week. The audince can guess through the new ‘Interactive’ service also being intoruced. The squeamish need not apply.
*STORES IN FOCUS*
An entire show dedicated to looking at each of the excellent SR stores, and who works there. Also features various sabotage attempts carried out on rival stores. Ah….no that bit should have been delet-
Along with all these new and exciting shows, there is a great interactive process, in which the audience can buy/trade online, and even view the SR webcam, which changes every week, featuring exciting locations such as the Staff Car Park and even the GC stand at Basildon occasionally!
Interspersed are the ever present adverts…….BUY……………MUST BUY………..
