INN PRESS RELEASE
by Tieka

The International Nomic Network (INN) announced that the outstanding humour
and drama series FRC has been renewed for another season.  The FRC is
currently in production of its 181 episode, and shows no signs of slowing
down. The shows high appeal is based in part upon the unusual stars for the
show, nearly all members of the cast have directed previous episodes!

While the exact theme of the each episode is unknown until after the episode
ends, the show can be very entertaining and informative. In researching this
article, I reviewed my favorite episode, Round 100. In this episode, it was
revealed that EVERY member of FRC was a criminal. Crimes ranged from 'Being
Born' to 'Wasting Bandwidth'. However this episode did not determine who was
or was not a Texan. This is a very timely episode as Ed Murphy, a member of
the current cast and director of Episode 181, was found guilty of "Having
Already Posted a Valid Rule This Round."  What effect will this have on
episode 181? Stay tuned and see.


In celebration of the momumental 180+ episodes, the next press releases will
review a past round of FRC activity and reveal more of the forgotten secrets
of FRC.

Sitcoms Today PRESS RELEASE
by Ewano

In a recent press release, the INN announced the continuance of FRC for
another season. In an unusual move the INN hinted at possible plotlines for
episode 181. It looks like INN are trying to save money by using that old
trick of reusing past episodes to save on filming costs.

It's not the first time that the INN have tried to reduce the production
costs of FRC. Take for instance episode 133 "Plain and Simple", in an
attempt to reduce the cost of script writing the producers decided to make
each rule have five words.

Of course the resultant restriction made for some cunning use of vocabulary
and one clever but unsuccessful attempt to use more words by Great Guru. The
producers went to far though when they tried to make the script writers
praise the judge. The word starved writers revolted and overturned the
ruling.

As the troubled INN seems to be having monetary problems it would seem
prudent that all press releases from INN itself should consist of no more
than 25 words.

PRESS RELEASE
by Ewano

It's been said before that the INN sometimes looses it's way. With such
offerings as episode 91 "Maps", it's surprising that they even got this far.
Only two rules in and the cast were so lost that they could no longer
continue.

Although the INN has made it this far with bad directions, it's time for a
firmer hand. I suggest that each new press release specifies a new location
for the next shoot. Starting with a continental style, we are off to Paris
for croissants and brie.

PRESS RELEASE (INN)
by Tieka

Episode 181:Scene 1
Arthur tells his pals to meet him at a sidewalk cafe, while he picks up some
fresh rolls. What Arthur fails to tell his friends is that the cafe is
actually a FRCBucks coffee shop! After showing up with a bag of L** Bagels
(still in thier supermarket paper bag). Arthur tries to explain.
"Croissants-bagels, what's the difference. They are both bread." says
Arthur. To which Edward asks, "What about the Brie? You did remember the
Brie?" "Brie? Who wants to eat moldy cheese. Here, try this nice piece of
mac-nugget. I think it may even have some chicken in it."  Unfortunetly
Edward was not impressed, and the coffee-soaked bagels end up on the seat of
an abondened bicycle.  Meanwhile, Theresa tries to smuggle a stuffed
armadillo through customs on her way to Istanbul to join the others who have
gone ahead.


. . . . . .

Considering the difficulties involved in determining who was a tratior in
round 123, it is quite possible that a traitor still exists within the ranks
of the FRC. Perhaps that is the reason the FRC group is now traveling to
Istanbul! Stay tuned for the next press release where the purpose of the
Istanbul trip is revealed.
