"It's like we predicted the future"

Last week, a topic here started off about yoghurt pots and ended up with us proposing a show where Terry Nutkins fought various simians in zero-gravity arenas. It was to be called "Monkey Punch".
Well....

I wonder if we can sue for stealing our future-thoughts?

Oh, come on, you lot are only sore that someone else came up with the idea of having a huge group of dwarves having a race with an elephant to see who could pull a 747 the fastest.

Be fair, that's up there with Astro-Nutkins vs. O-rage-o-tang.

And unless those pesky yanks have got pretty darned good at making TV shows in double-quick time, I'm reckoning THEY came up with it first.

If it's anything like the rest of US TV, it'll be 3 minutes of watchable footage padded with 28 minutes of adverts, 18 minutes of replays and 11 minutes of interviews with idiots, to make an unwatchable hour.

What would win if you put a bear, lion, tiger, jaguar, panther, cheetah, lepoard and a ....erm .... gorrila in a really small cage and poked them with sticks.
By that I mean - which would be last alive.

This is nothing. Me and my friend are convinced that teh CIA are monitering our conversations because be often here a clicking noise, and things we talk about, however abstract, appear in the news and such. It's very odd.

Also several of my "zanier" posts have ended up in Official PS2 Magazine, in one form or another.

Tony Anstis gets fine women.

Nice.

I second that proposal, though ironically if we had a T-rex vs Standy-Still Statue man in Covent Garden, he'd be doing the exact thing to keep himself alive.

Stubborn Donkey vs Vociferous Velociraptor

Belligerent Badger vs Ostentacious Otter

Playful Puppy from Blue Peter vs Ugly man from any Refuse collection crew with shovel and brick

Chicken vs Werewolf
Polar Bear vs Standy-Still Statue man in Covent Garden
Anaconda vs that old biddy that played Ethel in Eastenders.
Enraged Hippo vs Toby Anstis
Gorilla vs Graham Norton (Trading Places flashback here)

I want gore and fleeing and teeth and fur-ripping.
Or at least a drunken Elephant trying to get back to it's enclosure with loads of irate midgets lobbing velcro spears at a vest it's been forced to wear.

My money would be on the Polar Bear.

He'd just let the stupid Gorilla walk around beating his chest and wear himself out and then go in for the kill.

Polar bears aint as cuddly as they look.

The gits, we worked hard on developing our ideas.

Anyway why would you want to watch someone race a Giraffe? Two drunken Hippos racing on an ice rink would be a better televisual prospect. Also if there weren't silly laws protecting animals, we'd all love to see if a Polar Bear would best a Gorilla in a scrap.

Yet they make it legal to broadcast Eastenders.

Go figure.

I've looked at the "challenges" and they suck.
Who wants to see a dude race a giraffe? I want to see an ex-Marine fighting a Kodiak bear, not out-eating it.
And I want to see an Olympic swimmer try to beat a crocodile in a river-swin.

And Terry Nutkins being beaten stupid by an enraged Orangutan in zero-G.

There was also a bit where a little dude had to pull a jumbo jet over a set distance faster than an elephant or something. Is it me or is American TV suddenly getting so terrible it's ace?
