From the page mentioned earlier:

> Pamela is the voice of Erotica Jones, a dancer at the local strip club, who always has time for her friends such as Persephone, a fellow stripper who is dating conjoined twins.

Now, that’s comedy gold! 😃

Other than the name change, what exactly does TNN plan to do differently?

Their programming is ALREADY almost entirely guy-oriented… Star Trek, Baywatch, WWE, A-Team… their whole Saturday daytime lineup is huntin’, fishin’, and drivin’ real fast!

Sounds to me like it’s just a marketing gimmick… a different way to advertise what they already show.

:strokes her chin wisely like some old dude in a movie she once saw:

[hijack]I agree with that, **Vlad**.The only reason I ever watch that channell is to watch ST:TNG reruns and A-Team Re-Runs(yes…I’m a closet A-Team Fan…go Murdoch and Co!). I don’t see the point in calling itself “The Network for Men” tbh.There’s LOTS of networks for men…just none so lame as to give themselves that title.[/hijack]

Stan did a little drawing when he was in the army, but he’s never drawn anything commercially – he’s a writer and editor. He’s also the most charismatic person on the planet.

From the press on this venture, it seems Stan is perfectly aware of how ridiculous a concept it is and is planning to play it that way. (Of course, I loved VIP, which has the same vibe that it looks like this will create.)

Did anybody else read the title as a reunion tour with Cinderella and Stryper? 🙂

The editions of playboy with her in them had some really good articles, I’ll have you know.

Thank the Maker! After I read the thread title, I was afraid that Stryper and Cinderella had merged to become the uber-Christian-Chick hair metal band. After that image, this show can’t be all that bad.

ROTFLMAO\*  
[hijack]My mom made me listen to Stryper cuz she said it was the only rock not tainted by the devil.[/hijack]

I’ve seen some commercials for Stripperella and though the animation seems halfway decent, I don’t know if the storylines,etc will be palatable. I’ll probably hit the mute button and put words in Pammy’s mouth.😃

> Stripperella is expected to have the ability to float to safety from tall distances courtesy of her enhanced hair. Watch out for her patented move Scissor-ella which allows her to knock-out bad guys with her thighs (think Famke Jannsen as Xenia Onatopp in the James Bond film Goldeneye). If she allows you to touch her breasts then it’s probably a trick, a gadget in the chest area of her outfit works as a lie detector and tells Stripperella if someone is lying when they touch it. But the most outragous gadget at her disposal has to be the digital scanner placed under her tongue which she can use to upload pictures to a computer.

Good gravy, have I been out of it. When did Go Nagai change his name to Stan Lee?

Of course, Jane Jetson has 'em both beat.
