Breaking News: Cultureshark Wins Rights to Cover Battle of the Network Stars!

This summer, Cultureshark celebrates the thrill of kitschy television and the agony of fourth-generation dubs.

Cultureshark announced today it had purchased non-exclusive rights to cover the original episodes of "Battle of the Network Stars" this summer. The independent pop culture blog outbid major corporate sites like ESPN.com, FoxSports.com, and www.BountyTowels.com to earn the opportunity to write about the long-running reality/competition series.

"It surely helped that nobody else knew the rights were even up for bid," said site proprietor/perpetrator/apologist Rick Brooks, "But we think the Blogging Rights Committee was swayed by the emotional speech I gave expressing just how important it was me to see Lynda Carter in a bathing suit."

Beginning soon and dragging out through the summer, Cultureshark will break down the Battles, "hopefully more or less weekly," according to Brooks. When asked when he would get around to posting the Budget DVD Theatre post he promised 7 months ago, Brooks replied, "Shaddap."
