While most people agree that the Twitter account @shitmydadsays is mildly funny, we can't all justify it's creator, Justin Halpburn, getting a TV deal with CBS for it's own TV show. A show based off a Twitter account? Even we know that's a bad idea.
If we all knew our tweets had the potential do to anything more than fill everyone in on our mundane statuses, I'm sure we'd all try harder. Or we wouldn't; because Twitter is – and always will be – completely pointless. There's not much more depressing than someone getting paid ridiculous amounts of money for having a mildly entertaining Twitter account… or is there?
After the jump, I've come up with a few more ridiculous Internet-related TV deals that could be pitched so we (me) can stop feeling bad about our (my) Tweets being anything less than television show worthy.

In the Entertainment Weekly issue that previews the fall TV schedule this September, CBS will have a video ad. There will literally be a small screen and speakers built into a page of the mag, prepped to play 40 minutes worth of show previews.
When the CBS ad buyers told the EW sales people, “We’d like to embed a video ad,” do you think, maybe, they just meant on the EW website?
At least the miscommunication resulted in a technological breakthrough. I’m seriously excited for the day that we can embed newspaper pages into websites and billboards into cell phones.
