Desperate… for Darkness

James Denton, star of the ABC hit Desperate Housewives, believes the show was passed over for an Emmy nod because it’s too “dark.”

Said Denton, the show’s hunky plumber, “I don’t think the show is a pure comedy or pure drama and last year, particularly, it was very dark. “

By “very dark,” Denton was originally believed to be speaking of the extremely low light in which Housewives is shot in order to conceal the deep chasms in Teri Hatcher’s face.

It seems more likely he is referring to last year’s season finale, when Felicity Huffman’s character performed the esoteric occult ritual of Abra-Malin, which featured unholy practices of bestiality, mutilation, and cannibalism, and culminated with the entire cast, naked save for the smeared blood of an unborn lamb, chanting the ancient texts of the Old Ones before feasting on Eva Longoria’s still-beating heart, and shouting in unison, “Let the gates be opened! The New Aeon is upon us! We deliver our souls to you, O Cthulhu!”
