Hey y’all

Wonder Glen needs cutting-edge ideas, but here’s the problem: how do we actually know what the audience wants to watch? I had a sick idea to ask my friend Raven to go to ComiCon (he was already gonna be there as Ghor from Metroid), and film people’s ideas for shows. He asked all kinds of people what shows they would like to see, filmed the interviews, and cut them together. (Raven works for UPS, but he’s mostly an independent filmmaker, who’s starting up a freelance market research firm–majorly talented). The results are incredible.

Check out the fresh ideas in this cut: . I honestly think we have solid gold here on a bunch of these. I want to talk to that sword swallower guy and see if we can get his girlfriend that shoots the darts from her vagina. Also, that rocker dude had a brilliant idea about hiding a camera and filming people doing weird "out-of-normal things."

Honestly, I could not be a part of the darts show. It is degrading to her, the dart shooter. She needs to know that it is o.k. for her not to do that. Gerry saw a lot of live shows like that in Vietnam, because of being an MP, and he said people could put an eye out.

Gross. I love love love the idea of the guy riding around on horseback trying to sell cars LOL. If we stick to brilliant, green ideas like that, people are going to watch.

P.S., what does “show me your party pieces” mean?

Pieter Voorhees at 4:01PM

Those darts shows are perfectly safe. They have a chicken-coop around the people. Gerry must not have been to real Vietnam.

Miriam Kinkheune at 4:25PM

Well, that’s news to Gerry, because he’s a Vietnam vet.

Pieter Voorhees at 4:35PM

Maybe Gerry went to Hawai’i. End of discussion. Also, Aidan, please decide if any of these pitches is likeable and give your preference today.

Miriam Kinkheune at 5:01PM

I don’t think Aidan is here. He has been AWOL all day.

I left work a little early, but I’m here! Guys, this confirms. Americans are intelligent. This is our invitation to give them smart, meaningful reality programming with a soul!
