If you had to do a 'mash up' between any (two only) of the things
listed
below, into a new TV show premise, what humorously witty TV show
premise would you most like seeing, between the 2 merged titles.

Family Guy.
Futurama.
Angel.
Prison Break.
Star Wars (live action, or animated).
James Bond.

I would like to see a mash up of TV reality & talent shows, and a
thermonuclear warhead.

"Dan" has no posting history. We've seen a number of requests like
this; a general question concerning media properties.

On at least one previous occasion, the answers have appeared on
commercial website bbs', masquerading as traffic from readers of those
boards. Respond to "Dan" if you want your content ripped off and
repurposed.

So what does that mean? Will he just rip off our answers or will he
datamine our posting histories? Does it go beyond the cut and paste?

Thank you; I've been wondering for months what the sleaze gimmick
was behind these postings.

("Commercial website bbs'"? Is that like a micro-Usenet on a web
site? Are there still things out there, anywhere, that are
explicitly called bulletin boards?)

He rips the entire thread and posts it to some web site forum.

I'm going to throw this in:

llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

So that when he rips it off to a web site message board maybe it'll be easy
to find.

I'm not quite sure what the term du jour is. Many websites provide a
message board for readers to comment back to the site operator and/or
to each other. In some cases this forms a genuine community. Whoever
is posting these queries uses them to make Potemkin villages;
providing an illusion of an interested community where none actually
exists.

I'm annoyed to see our content being ripped off in this way, with
neither acknowledgment nor consent.
