Alright, half ten UK time MTV US’ The Phone updated its Facebook page cover photo. The show hasn’t been on for three years. Does this mean anything?
The Phone of course was a great show in its original Dutch and then Australian, then Justin Timberlake bought it for the US where they Americanized it i.e. removed any subtlety.
It would be a strange thing to suddenly revive a show after a long hiatus. Perhaps it’s just MTV going through all their Facebook properties and updating. Still though.
Hey, you – yes, you! Do you want to play The Phone? Well, for just £150, now you can!
Not really, but really nearly. There’s a Kickstarter out and the people behind it have such excellent credentials that it’s bound to fund. Ten days to go. Brig, next time you win Payday Poker, this is surely more fun than a month’s worth of kebabs.
