NOTE: This is a semi-regular series in which I pitch an idea for a sure-fire hit television show that I, myself, am too lazy to write. If you by chance happen to be an executive at HBO or FX then it’s all yours. Just be

The Winklevii brothers are still trying to outdo Facebook, likely trial wombs remain salted

In The Social Network we got to see how it all began: Zuck, being the little smart ass genius he is, decided to sabotage a social networking site while buzzed off of a couple of beers one night in his dorm room. Yup. That’s right.
