TV show seeking stories about TV

This just in: some indie TV producers are putting together a documentary series about the influence of TV on dating, and are looking for victims. I know this because I got an email from Proper Television complimenting us on "The Media Made Me Do It" from Stay Free! For all of you in TVland:

WANTED: GUESTS FOR NEW SERIES ABOUT TV-INSPIRED DATING

Has your romantic life been influenced by a TV show? Ever tried a pickup line from your favourite sitcom, soap, or reality show? Are you, or anyone you know, having great hookups (or terrible ones) because of lessons you learned from TV? Is your relationship successful (or ruined) because of what you've learned from TV?

If so, TVTropolis's new documentary TV series wants to hear your TV-inspired dating stories. Give back to the tube as it has given to you. Maybe someone watching will be influenced by your story and the cycle begins anew.

Email us with details of your story at televisionresearcher@gmail.com including your name and location.

bibimbop chingu balgavy asks, "what is bibimbop?"

well balgavy, thanks for asking. first of all, the most widely used spelling seems to be bibimbap, so a google search for "bap" rather than "bop" will yield you more results. it is this blog's preference to spell it with an "o" however. that's more true to the correct pronounciation. i hope that doesn't confuse you. anyway, bibimbop is a food. in fact, it may be listmaker's favorite korean food. it consists of a bowl of rice and over the rice you arrange a variety of vegetables (such as bean sprouts, spinach, mountain roots, carrots, zuchinni) as well as some seasoned cook ground beef. over it all you add a fried egg or a raw egg. you then pour on hot bean paste and mix it all up. i surmise this dish evolved from being poor and putting together scraps of leftovers with rice. nowawadays they make fancy versions with seared tuna, exotic mushrooms and what not. the best version of bibimbop is the stone bowl variety. basically, everything is the same, expect the dish is served in a stone bowl that's been heated up in an oven for a while. this causes the undercooked yolk of the egg to fully cook through and best of all, causes the rice at the bottom of the bowl to harden into a crispy shell. it is delicious, tasty and nutritious.
