Most! Boring! Show! Ever!

Our friends at Verbose Coma let us know that Backstage had the following casting ad:

"BLOGGERS," SITCOM PILOT

Casting an HBO/WB-style sitcom pilot "Bloggers." Seeking: young, attractive, comedic, and quirky actors, 20s-30s. No pay, but DVD provided.

Ha! No pay, just like the blog world! And we always thought that what they said about having a face for radio was triply true for bloggers. Anyway, Verbose Coma's Andi has some hilarious thoughts about it ("I'm thinking Rutger Hauer as Mr. Web Empire Publisher and Clea Duvall as sexy political hellcat, Zonkette"). Gothamist imagines the script to look like:
Scene 1
Interior: The Peach Pit The Magician
LOCKHART enters.

BARTENDER: The usual?
LOCKHART, shaking head: Make it a double - Mr. Belding Denton has really been riding me!

SCREECH JAKE enters. He is, as usual, taking pictures.

JAKE: Man, there's so much good graffiti in Capeside the Lower East Side.

....
Scene 2
Montage of INSTANT MESSAGING WINDOWS.
INDIE ROCK plays on soundtrack, preferably with a driving bassline.

If anyone does try out, let us know what it's like and whether or not there's a casting couch.

It already sounds funnier than Life on a Stick.

so i guess lock is zach or is he albert clifford?

You mock now, Gothamist, but think of the potential storylines.

"Jessica" must choose between love and blog when she finds herself attracted to her favorite object of snark! "Andrew", caught in a writer's block, wrestles with temptation when he finds another blogger's laptop unattended at a WiFi coffee shop! "Bronx Vegetarian" attends a concert!

This stuff practically writes itself!

It's the same media that NEVER mentioned Muslims' hatred of Israel as a possible motive for 9/11.
