‘The Moment Of Truth’ Inching Closer To Delivering On Its Life-Destroying Promise
9:44AM Seth | The Moment of Truth–the bold Fox reality experiment that promised to pulverize real lives into a fine confetti by hooking average Americans up to a lie detector and having them answer brutally personal questions about their crotch-stuffing and philandering habits–has failed to really deliver on its promise.

Whatchu Talkin Bout, Schneider?
10:00AM Mark Graham | “If I could bottle the sexual tension between Bonnie Franklin and Schneider, I could solve the energy crisis.” At least that’s what Troy Dire said while watching a One Day At A Time re-run in the seminal Gen X opus Reality Bites. We can only imagine how depressed he would’ve become at the sight of a menopausal Bonnie Franklin. Even worse would’ve been the look on his face after seeing the visage of the now irascible Schneider sans his trademark pencil-thin pornstache. Reunions ain’t always what they’re cracked up to be. However, we think he would’ve gotten a good chuckle from Arnold Drummond’s surprise appearance on the set. The next time you make your way to Jupiter, Florida, be sure and stop at the Burt Reynolds Museum! We hear that the cryogenically frozen corpses of his Cannonball Run co-stars, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr, are worth the trip in and of themselves. [Burt Reynolds Museum] Everybody’s favorite underage film critic, Sexman, is back with a brand new review of Jumper (”It sucked. It sucked major. Rambo 3 was better than that piece of shit.”) This goes without saying, but if you are related to Hayden Christensen, you won’t want to watch this. [YouTube] We stopped watching Fox’s Moment Of Truth after two episodes, mainly because it failed to be as sadistically voyeuristic as we had been led to believe. Looks like we stopped watching too early! [Vulture] More »
‘Moment of Truth’ Creepily Obsessed With Dudes Who Stuff Their Shorts
7:22AM Mark | Even if Fox’s The Moment Truth never lives up to its Apocalypse-beckoning advance billing , the show will have provided a valuable service to the very society it’s so far failed to destroy in exposing a disturbing deception far more widespread than we ever could have imagined: the artificial enhancement of male “packages” by means of designer jean/Dockers/mankini stuffing.

‘Moment Of Truth’ To Gently Scandalize America 13 More Times
5:51AM Mark | · After two high-rated (but Idol-boosted) episodes of The Moment of Truth, Fox picks up 13 more episodes of their lie-detecting semi-sensation. Evil mastermind Mike Darnell renews his promise to fix the show’s pacing problems, and claims that even though these first two episodes have largely failed to shock, they’ve still been effective enough to induce a number of planned contestants to drop out. [THR] · Sounding a characteristically gloomy note on the State of the Strike on Day 89, Var points out that even though the WGA and AMPTP have been engaged in informal talks, no date has been picked for the start of formal bargaining, say that “some” worry that the strike will drag on long enough for SAG to walk out in July and “stay out at least into the fall” with the scribes, and claim there’s a “tacit deadline” to make some progress before CEOs storm out of negotiations again. Hear that, writers? Doomsday clocks are ticking everywhere, so better take whatever deal’s on on the table, whether or not it’s a good one! [Variety] More »
