[QUOTE=erie774] Anyone remember way back in the 80’s, Showtime cable would put on [Aerobicise](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0268895/) ?(this link is potentially NSFW [http://www](http://www). aerobicise. com/new/his.html They were short scenes of women (usually two though sometimes solo) wearing one piece swimsuits and bending and stretching on a white turntable. The camera would circle them and sometimes zoom in on certain body parts. It was very low key and very erotic. The only workout I got from watching was blood flow increasing to a certain extremity! [/QUOTE] I remember that show. They had this breathy female voiceover that kept saying, “And don’t forget to breathe…” And I’d think, “What the hell, if I were so stupid I needed to be reminded to breathe, I’d be … hey, look, they’re doing that thing where they kneel facing in opposite directions and bump their butts together … why is everything going black…?” ---

[QUOTE=erie774] Basically we would have the best government agency help with programming: the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. [/QUOTE] Does anyone else think the BATFE sounds more like a Convenience Store than a Government Department? 😃 I don’t think it would be a good idea to put me in charge of a TV Network. Some programming highlights: \*Hardcore, Explicit Lesbian BDSM Porn \*Badly Dubbed Hong Kong Action Movies \*Futurama \*Duckman \*Family Guy \*The Simpsons \*Married… With Children \*Red Dwarf \*British Comedies \*WWI/WWII Documentaries You get the idea. 😃 ---
