RRT’s Iffy Discovery Channel Pitch
Not too long ago, Dear Reader, I sent a detailed information package to the Discovery Channel about my idea for a new series. It was rejected. I have posted the emails between Discovery and myself below, so you may decide for yourself how bad my idea was.

Hi Julia:
I got an automated response form you office regarding my idea for a television show. It was package number 43117. I know you usually take 4-6 weeks to review submissions, but I am already starting to gather footage for our first season, so I thought I’d see if Discovery was still interested in partnering with us on this exciting new venture!

RobbieRobTown:
Yes, we have received and reviewed your submission for a show entitled “Destination: Fuckhuddler”, and we do not see a place for your series in our line up. Good luck with your future endeavours.
Sincerely,
Julia Barnett

Hi Julia, I know you are probably very busy, but I wonder if you can give me some specific feedback on why my series was rejected? As a fledgeling producer, this is a great learning opportunity for me!

Mr Town:
As I have had a meeting cancel today, I have the time to reply in some detail, but I think my time would be better used playing Angry Birds.
Suffice it to say that your contention that a series, based on the search for a mythical animal which you refer to as the “fuckhuddler”, would hold the attention of any audience is preposterous.

Obviously, Julia, you are not familiar with the exciting field of cryptozoology.

On the contrary, “Destination Truth”, carried by our affiliate network OLN in Canada, is entirely based around investigating the paranoral and the cryptozoological . I simply do not believe that the “fuckhuddler” exists. Rather, I believe it to be a crass invention of your perverse imagination.
Please do not contact this office again.

At this point, I decided not to press the issue. About a month passed, and then I received an email from Julia again.
From: JBarne@dicoverychannel.com
To: RobbieRobTown@thecorrectness.com
Subject: An apology
Mr Town:
I had an encounter on a camping trip recently which I am at a total loss to explain. What I saw, and what subsequently happened to me I cannot rationalize or explain away by any means.
I know my last message to you was terse, or dismissive, but if you could see your way to assisting me, it would go a long way to healing my emotional and physical scars.
Yours truly,
Julia Barnett.

Sounds like someone got fuckhuddled. Tough luck.
RRT.

I can't say that I'm sad, especially after last years debacle. Thanks Academy, for dragging my beloved Anne Hathaway through the mud with your crappy writing and pairing her up with a stoned co-star who apparently thought he was supposed to host it ironically.

My Grand dad saw the Fuckhuddler once. He doesn’t go into a lot of detail…but that’s when he started drinking.

A Fuckhuddler saved my life on a snowshoeing trip once…
…Afterwards, however, I think I’d rather have died. I still have night-terrors about a busted snowshoe, the colour purple (both the movie and the actual colour) and a 7-pointed tongue going all ‘anime’ on me…
…now I need to go call Dr. Amberson again…

One time when I was just a wee lad I went camping with a friend and her family. One night while sitting around the fire the Ranger came by. He told us to be careful as earlier in the day they had shot and wounded a Fuckhuddler and it was still at large. We thought little of it and went on with our night. The next morning We awoke to find that there was a large blood smear on the outside of the tent (right by my head) where I slept.
It would seam that in the night the wounded Fuckhuddler pawed my head with it’s bloody bloodified bloodiness.
My name is Tomass & I have been bloodied by a Fuckhuddler.
