Hot Daleks Porn! : Fleshbot

This afternoon, I went looking for a Star Trek transcript for the episode "The Enemy Within", because it is directly referenced in "The Replacement", the Buffy episode I taped from last Tuesday where Xander gets split into two separate instances of himself. I landed, at one point, on an old school Usenet FAQ for Doctor Who, and figured "What the hell?" The FAQ was written sometime between 1996 and 2005 and had all the conventional questions one would expect: "Who is Doctor Who?" "What is the TARDIS?" "In what years did Doctor Who originally air?"

Then, inexplicably, there was a question asking which female characters had gotten nekkid.

Uh. Yeah. Sometimes the Internet is a scary place.

I don't know, it's just...Doctor Who is such an utterly, utterly asexual program that it's hard for me to imagine his companions skimping around in anything less than a fur bikini. If The Doctor can keep his hands off an animalistic cavebabe for a bajillion seasons that...y'know...ascends her to an untouchable status. Ditto all his companions, really. The Doctor is an anti-Kirk. It wouldn't be unthinkable to figuratively ask him "Is there anyone you have slept with?"[1]

Nonetheless, the FAQ dutifully answered the question and that was that. I had no further interest in the matter. Then, as fate would have it, late today I found that Fleshbot had posted on Tuesday about a new copyright-infringing Dalek porn. Fleshbot even includes the FAQ's aforementioned nudie pic of 70's Who companion Katy "Jo" Manning.

Fate is weird sometimes. I mean honestly: what are the odds?

[1] The Doctor had a granddaughter. Take that for what it's worth.
