It's only April, and already so many of the categories for the Toobits Awards at the end of the year have leading candidates.
A new category has been added to reflect how integrated Television has become with cyberspace - "Best Online Crossover", and we got a nominee for that already as well:
tedmosbyisajerk.com
It was a website mentioned in Monday night's episode of 'How I Met Your Mother' ("The Bracket"), and of course it turns out to be a real site supposedly created by the character Wendy the Waitress (who returned as one of Barney's many spurned and vengeful girlfriends).
With the 20 minute screed/song by Wendy (woof! Listen to it!) available on the site, this can almost be counted as an episode in itself.
It also has a backwards masking Zonk, in that Barney is supposedly revealed to be the Fifth Cylon of the new 'Battlestar Galactica'. But as that takes place in an alternate dimension, which could be seen as Toobworld's interpretation of events in the history of the "real" 'Battlestar Galactica' which does take place in Earth Prime-Time, maybe we can dismiss its Zonkiness.....
BCnU!
