Funkee Fanger Productions announces three new syndicated shows for the fall season.

"Unsolved Mysteries of Butt Nekkid Divorcees" combines reality TV with the paranormal. The premiere episode (titled "Know a Playa When You See His Azz") features a segment about a mysterious news photographer who videotapes a surprised and "buck nekkid" Kirk Fordice. News anchor Bert Case is the special guest host.

"The Jeffersons of Da Dirty South: Escape from Jacktown" is a comedy about a Caucasian family's relocation to the "Nu Chocolate Chip" suburbs from a crime-ridden (majority African-American) city. When the Jeffersons discover the suburban neighborhood consists of upwardly mobile blacks and Hispanics, they realize "there's no hidin' place in da dirty south." "The Jeffersons of Da Dirty South" is "white flight" with a twist of urban stereotypes.

And J.W. Wrigley, Inc., makers of the new Viagra Penile Enhance-mint gums with long-lasting flavor (Juicy Fruit, Double Mint and Bigg Redd), presents "The Bigger They Come, the Harder They Are." This sci-fi, action, docu-drama, starring the dynamic C.E.O. duo of Ebbers and Ley, justifies corporate greed and exploitation of the masses by answering the burning question: "Does size really matter?"

Although these shows touch on controversial subject matters, the staff of Funkee Fanger Productions feel they will satisfy the entertainment needs of critical thinkers.

The point is, wouldn't it be interesting if shows like these actually broadcast this fall? I think they would give Riki Springtyme and Jerry Lakeside a run for their money.
