A more Savage HBO?

HBO mulls series based on sex advice column

CHICAGO (Editor and Publisher) – HBO is considering a show based on “Savage Love,” the sex advice column syndicated in alternative weeklies.

In his blog for his home paper, Seattle’s The Stranger, columnist Dan Savage said he has been working on “a non-airing presentation pilot for HBO” that would be called “Savage Love.”

Quoting from a draft press release for the show, Savage said the possible show “will focus on current events and cultural trends with sex as the filter.”</em>

Excellent!
