I love how you don’t even mention the fact that there has and always was a series called Blankslate on itsallinyourhands.com even though it’s mentioned on your other post. NewTeeVee obviously doesn’t care about indie new media creators to not even mention that this TNT series is a total rip off. It’s also funny that Blankslate from itsallinyourhands.com is on Hulu.com as well, and somehow no one notices the obvious rip off pulled by TNT and Devlin.
