Carlos

Carlos was a world rewnowned paranormal researcher and leading occult investigator. Like most men of esoteric expertise, Carlos eventually found himself wondering what he would have to do to profit from his bizarre skill sets. Though some may attribute such thinking to greed, I would urge my reader to consider that decling government funds in recent years have left the field of paranormal research in a steady state of decline.

Utilizing a connect he had with a distant cousin, Carlos pitched an idea to CW network execs about a talk show that interviewed all non-human humanoids living among everyday people. He proposed that that show would uncover the cyborg hide, or the undead heart, and reveal that beneath these grotesque layers of monstrosity, laid an undeniable humanity.

CW loved the idea, however chose to market the show in a slightly different light. Market analysts told them that fears sells better then empathy, and so they released a prolific advertising campaign which consisted of magazine and television promos of an elderly man suspciously glancing through his curtains to watch the inhuman silouhette staring back at him from behind his neighbors curtains, accompanied by the ominous tagline "Do You Know What Your Neighbor Really Is?"

Carlos, initially angered over the matter, quicly rationalized that he would use the show to contradict everything the ad's suggested, and bring to light the truth and innocence of these misunderstood creatures.

The show opened disasterously. Immediatly following the fricasse the CW partnered with the ruthless digital detective agency Pinkerton 2.0 to hunt down and destroy every remaining copy of the original broadcast. During this time period, several outspoken bloggers who had seen the written openly about the broadcast disapeared; no official comment has ever been made to their whereabouts. And so eventually, all record and memory of the fabled broadcast vanished into obscurity. Or so we thought.

But once a man travels to the far reaches of the internet, he uncovers things that simply weren't mean to be uncovered.

So it is with great personal risk that I bring to you today the infamous Pilot taping of Carlos. I urge my viewers; watch with caution. The footage you are about to see carries with it a great burden; to bear witness to its existence is to make yourself a target of the CW.

But sometimes the truth is worth such consequences.
