It's a fictional comedy, not a reality show.


There's nothing hilarious about 1 million tweets @3:00 am complaining about your server being down . . . of course if it's somebody elses server, well, that's comedy gold.


You know, if the show actually did have stuff like servers going dow, I am going to watch the shit out of it.

Dammit, now I'm setting the bar too high in my head.


Maybe they'll surprise you by having a bar empty out after CloudCo's North Virginia datacenter has an outage.


Sure, the details are fictional, but there's a true-to-life quality that some comedies have.


Hah, the most depressing moment of my life was when I realized that Office Space is disturbingly close to reality.


Then there's hope. I haven't lived in Office Space for three years now as a developer.


You imply that there is a distinction between those two terms. That's like saying, "it's a choreographed fight scene, not pro wrestling"


There's no need to emphasize fiction there; both shows are fake.
