Cyber-Soap Returns From The Dead

An anonymous reader submits "Back in 1995, an experimental "cyber-soap" had a wildly successful launch. With over a million page hits a day (an almost unheard-of amount of traffic at the time), The Spot was named "Cool Site of the Year" in 1995, and by all appearances was a huge success. As was the case for many projects of the time, though, by 1997 The Spot was gone, another victim of the dot-com bust. However, unlike other dot-com projects, The Spot has been given new life, un der new ownership, and was relaunched in March. Can the Spot, a unique blend of soap opera, blog, and reality show, survive this time around, or is it doomed to end up back in the graveyard of failed websites in which it was first buried seven years ago?"

Goddamn you American Eurosuck fanboys who don't even know anything about Europe. Next time you go off on one of your toad-lick Americans-are-stupid whines, check your facts.

As it turns out, the Euro people love reality TV even more than we do, and pioneered the concept. American Idol was Pop Idol in Britain before it came to the US. Survivor started out in Sweden: that's right, in the land of SAABs, socialist everything and legal child porn that you suckasses love to idolize. Big Brother flopped in America, but is huge in every EU country; moreover it's Gro Haarlem Brundtland's personal favorite show!!!

In conclusion, f you.
