QC Industries beat me to it this morning, but it’s not too often that the word “Conveyor” is in a network TV show. Something tells me it may not be around for very long. Check out ABC’s Conveyor Belt of Love:

Yes, really. ABC is airing a show called “Conveyor Belt of Love” on Jan. 4, right after the premiere of “The Bachelor.”

And if you’re wondering what a show called “Conveyor Belt of Love” would entail, well, the title succinctly and depressingly pretty well says it all. From the network’s press release: “One by one … 30 men are presented on the ‘Conveyor Belt of Love’ to … five women and given 60 seconds to impress them. If a woman is interested in someone, that man will step aside and wait as the rest of the men go by.”

This isn’t the first or the last time conveyors play a role in mainstream culture. James Bond always seems to be fighting a bad guy on one and of course, everyone remembers the classic episode of I Love Lucy.
