The Cosmic Trickster

Watch New Earth. Get to the point where the Sisters of Plentitude open the hatch and the thing inside begs for mercy. Now then switch to a body getting disembowelled by Leatherface in the prequel to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

That's what plenty of American fans are witnessing as they try to enjoy The Complete Second Series. The extras are particularly gruesome.

As flawed discs go, that has to be some kind of record.

Ironically, reliable statistics show that more people die in The Invisible Enemy than The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. And completely unreliable statistics show that more people died in Ressurection of the Daleks than the War in Iraq.

Wow. I am quite curious as to how that mistake got made - it would have to be some sort of joke, surely? The only similar occurence that springs to my mind is when a minute of german S&M porn apparently was accidentally broadcast during a televised tennis match... and I'm not sure how that one came about, either.

OG has all the latest news.

Of course, there was that time the conclusion of Horror of Fang Rock was replaced by a naked man in a Mex Headroom mask being spanked repeatedly...

Naturally I'm well aware of the "Headroom Incident", but that was a deliberate hi-jacking by some really freaky American guy.

Have you seen that video on YouTube? Freaky stuff.

"You guys are frickin' nerds! Let's go read some newspapers! HahahaHAHAHA! OOOOOOH, NOOOOO!"

(At least, that's what it sounds like)

It says a lot I never even thought to look for it. I just checked out fan music clips for "Song for Ten" and "Love Don't Roam"... the latter for Supernatural, believe it or not...
