Mulder
and Scully mysteriously abducted from prime-time TV
Hungary's Supreme
Court has banned state-owned TV station MTV - nothing to do with
the too hip for their own good music channel - from showing the
paranoia and paranormal mystery programme, the X-files, before 11pm.
Why the late
night exile? Good question.
Contrary to
web rumours, it isn't because they have heard that foolish Chris
Carter chappie has been threatening to reveal the fact that Hungary
has been sitting on a segment of a crashed alien vehicle since 1917
(which some UFOlogists think is the escape pod from the Siberian
meteor strike) in a forthcoming episode of the TV series.
And it isn't
because Agent Scully has been distracting drivers on the old state
highway and causing pile-ups, where trailers of the series have
been shown on the new video billboards which have been going up.
No. Both of
these might be valid reasons for Hungary's ban on the X-Files. But
the actual reason for their decision - at least the one they chose
to give - was because the Court said it harmed children's mental
health.
Hmmm.
Is there some
conspiracy here?
Is the recent
UN-backed development loan the World Bank made to Hungary something
to do with this decision?
Mulder and
Scully, where are you when we need you? (gee, I guess they're around
after 11pm. Ed).
