Q: Without a doubt, the most commonly asked question
so far has been, "Just what the hell is Murk?"
A: Murk is the DNA
corrupted, bastard offspring of bicycle couriers. He and Wally
became friends when they both rented rooms in a psychotic Greek
woman's boarding house near the Danforth.
Q: Exactly why is Wally
a penis?
A: I like to think
that Wally is the typical male - irrationally self confident,
perpetually randy, and in the grand scheme of things nothing
more than a life support system for a schlong. We also want channel
surfers who stumble onto us to realize immediately that this
isn't a kiddies' puppet show, and a large talking wilbur seemed
a quick and emphatic way to do that.
Q: Why can't we buy tapes of the episodes?
A: Because of our deal
with the Comedy Network, it's going to be a bit of a wait before
we can offer tapes. But the show will be re-run at least two
more times, so set your VCRs!
Q:
When will the Network start re-running
episodes?
A: The last we heard,
it will be right after the first run ends in August. Same Slutt
time, same Slutt channel.
Q: Why didn't "Death Takes Deductible Junket"
air? Was there some kind of conspiracy?
A: "Solving The
Mystery of Women" was accidentally aired two weeks in a
row, and since we'd only been blocked in to air 18 episodes in
18 weeks, one of the remaining shows had to go. We chose Death
because... well... Brian wasn't there to defend himself. Heh
heh.
Q: Is there anywhere
in the States that people can pick up Internet Slutts by satellite
dish?
A: Nowhere that anyone
up here at the Network is willing to tell us about.
Q: How about streaming? Why don't you make whole episodes
available for downloading?
A: It's the same deal
as offering tapes. The Network has the first broadcast 'window'
for the show. If Slutts was available to folks via other avenues,
advertisers would be less enthusiastic about buying space on
the Comedy Network, which would mean less revenue for the Network,
which would mean that they'd probably make us give 'em our nifty
Comedy Network mugs back.
Q: When are you guys going to get some merchandising
happening?
A: We hope to be offering
mouse pads and T-shirts and that kind of thing soon. We'd also
like to make a bunch of Wally and Murk plush toys and figurines,
but for a small outfit like us that's a pretty major undertaking
- and using our private parts as a Wally mold all day could lead
to some serious chafing - so we're trying to find a nice manufacturer
who'd be willing to take a chance (or bath) on us.
Q: How come you aren't on a US network?
A: We've begun to work
on that. If we do get picked up down there we'll have to invest
in a pretty heavy duty bleep machine, though.
Q: I sent you a cool
web site - how come you didn't use it?
A: All of the current
episodes have been completed. We love receiving people's suggestions
-- since that means less eyeball numbingly dull web searching
for us -- and if we get picked up for a second season we hope
to be able to use many of the sites that viewers have already
sent our way.
Q: How did you find the sites for the shows?
A: Some were suggested
to us by friends and associates, but most of hem were found by
randomly typing interesting words into search engines and hoping
for the best. Tonight I plan to try the word 'bolus.'
Q: Is there any place
on the Web where I can talk to other Slutts fans?
A: A brand spanking
new Internet Slutts Newsgroup has been launched by a big supporter
of the show. It's alt.tv.internet-slutts ... apparently you'll
most likely have to ask your server to add it.
Q: When will you know
if you've been renewed for another season?
A: We understand it
has something to do with new moons and goat entrails... In the
meantime, letting the nice folks at The Comedy Network know you
like us wouldn't hurt.
