I was hoping it was a joke when I came across the title for an upcoming Fox show a little while ago; but — it comes on this week:
It might have been called “Extreme Impalement,” but in reality, the hourlong special’s title couldn’t be more precise: “101 Things Removed from the Human Body” is not for the squeamish.
“There are a lot of orifices in the human body, and there are a lot of accidents that happen,” [Producer] Schotz says. “We’ve spent years compiling this show. … Sometimes you’d just come across a picture that would just stop you, and you’d go, ‘That’s so wrong.”‘
It seems like a joke, but… it’s Fox. What does it mean when Fox’s programming is almost exactly like a satire of itself?
