Texts From Last Night Coming to a TV Near You

Texts From Last Night, the website that encourages readers to submit those texts they sent or received under the influence of a few too many drinks, is being made into a TV show.
After strong interest from several networks, Fox landed a multicamera coming-of-age project based on the popular Web site that will be written by Steve Holland and produced by Sony TV and Happy Madison.
The site's signature slogan is "Remember that text you shouldn't have sent last night? We do." The user-generated blog posts "regrettable," often embarrassing text messages usually sent late at night by people who are drunk or high.
Called "a living document of twentysomething life in 2009," it has become a Web success story since launching in February, averaging 4 million hits a day. [The Hollywood Reporter]
We could certainly give them a story line or two.

more user generated content pushed onto TV. it's still not as bad as Twitter coverage on CNN.. sigh...
I just visited the site, and there's a lot of rauncy (and hilarious) content. But I highly doubt FOX will have teens masturbating into a banana peel...
*sighs* I miss the glory days of Doug and Wings...
