X-Message-Number: 31359 From: Mark Plus <> Subject: "Better Off Ted" Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2009 13:57:04 -0800 This doesn't look good: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Better_Off_Ted Better Off Ted is an upcoming American situation comedy which will premiere on the ABC network on Wednesday, March 18, 2009 at 8:30PM. The series was created, and will be executive produced, by Victor Fresco. Plot "Better Off Ted is a satirical office comedy featuring a successful but morally conscious man, Ted, who runs a research and development department at a morally questionable corporation, Veridian Technologies. No achievement is too far fetched and no invention too unorthodox for Veridian. Need a suicidal turkey? Done. Need a metal that is hard as steel but bounces - and is edible? Done and done. Ted loves his seemingly perfect job; he loves his superhuman boss, Veronica, and colleagues Lem, Phil and Linda, but he's starting to take a closer look at the company's extremely questionable practices... especially when they try to cryogenically freeze one of Ted's scientists for testing purposes." _______________________ "Around 2010 the world will be at a new orbit in history. . . Life expectancy will be indefinite. Disease and disability will nonexist. Death wll be rare and accidental -- but not permanent. We will continuously jettison our obsolescence and grow younger." F.M. Esfandiary, "Up-Wing Priorities" (1981). http://www.box.net/shared/static/ay9lub60ha.pdf http://www.scribd.com/doc/10948503/Up-Wing-Priorities Mark Plus _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live HotmailR.more than just e-mail. http://windowslive.com/howitworks?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_t2_hm_justgotbetter_howitworks_012009 Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=31359
