“fact: i am faster than 90% of all snakes.”

i was thinking about the office the other day and something hit me: what the hell are they shooting in the office universe?  a tv show?  a movie?  a mini-series?

the conceit of the show is that a camera crew is following these people around for…some reason.  maybe i missed an episode early on, but did they ever really explain what’s happening to all of this footage?  they’ve been shooting for like 4 years now.   do all of the people in the office simply not watch tv?

don’t get me wrong, i love the show, but this seems to be a glaring hole that i’ve never seen addressed.  it seems like any of the many secrets that the camera catches would be seen by millions of people, right?  or is the audience (us, not the apparently non-existent office universe audience) supposed to just forget that there’s an end product to all of this at some point.

just sayin’.
