The Hack & Sheo Show
Founded in the year 78 BC, during the early rise of memes, the Hack & Sheo show was originally created to showcase the various faults in the Roman system. The founders, Benjaminos Hackwodius and Jonas Sheogorius were greek memeologists who turned to media in order to get their political message across. By 75 BC the show had gathered a rather large following, spanning all the way from Egypt to Britannia.The show featured many famous guests throughout the years, including but not limited to, Julius Caesar, Jesus Christ, Hannibal and Zeus. The show continued to run for Centuries, until the fall of the Roman empire in 476 AD. It is widely believed that this decline was due to an offensive joke made by Bennius Hackwodius III, the then current holder of the Hack title. The Byzantine Empire exiled the two dynasties to the barbaric lands in the north to die out. Before the trial was held however, a rather wealthy nobleman by the name of Matthefatisfatwearingatoga decided to endorse the two publicly on stage. This budget boost ensured the show would reestablish itself, though far from their homeland of Rome. This hiatus is what caused what is now commonly referred to as the Dark Ages

Within a century the two families had established themselves in the Norse jarldom of Nidaros. While there the show took on many legendary Norse Gods and heroes as guests, but none more notorious than Matthefatisfatwearingahelmet, a mighty Byzantine raider descended from the very nobleman that had funded the show only centuries earlier. It was in the year 793 AD that the at the time current hosts, Benrir Hækwød and Jonvald Shægørat decided to seek their fortune across the sea. They landed in the land of Britannia, and quickly found their way to the Christian monastery of Lindisfarne. Many riches were plundered and priests killed, leaving the countryside ravaged by the Hack & Sheo raiding party. While Benrir believed that the land of Britannia was fertile, ideal for developing memes, Jonvald stood firmly by his belief that the old way of memeology was the only way. This caused a split between the two, and for the first time since the exile, the Hack & Sheo Show was no more.

The absence of the revolutionary show was quite apparent. Europe was thrown into a state of constant war. The Medieval Age had begun. The Hackwode Dynasty achieved much fame in the Crusades, most notoriously led by Sir Benjamin Hackwode II, who single-handedly led a troop of 30 men to conquer a castle from the dreaded Muslims. It was not until the end of the 13th Century that the two families were once again reunited. A representative from the house of Sheogorath, John A.S. Sheogorath was visiting the Holy See in order to discuss his country's future with the Pope. During his stay he ran into a young Italian boy by the name of Matthefatisfatwearingpasta, who had seen visions of the future, foreseeing that John was destined to meet his other half in the slums of Rome. John was hesistant at first, but curiosity got the better of him and he journeyed to the slums. There he ran into a shady man doing shady things. The man introduced himself as Benedict Hackwode, a man shunned by his own family and thrown out of his homeland. The two got familiar with extraordinary speed, and quickly became friends. Benedict explained that he was in town to discover a closely guarded papal secret, said to be held in the Vatican Secret Archives. John knew that he could gain access to these archives thanks to his papal relations, and decided to investigate on behalf of his friend. What he discovered in the archives was records of an ancient show, namely the Hack & Sheo show. The documents claimed that this show was so ironically good and propped full of offensive words that if it was reestablished, it would mean the end of christendom and possibly society as they knew it. John shared this info with Benedict, and the two came together to form the first part of what would later be called the Illuminati.

The plans set in motion bore fruit on 28 June, 1914, and a message was sent out to every known nation in the world that the Hack & Sheo show, run by master comedians Jonah Sheogorath and Benny Hackwode was returning next week. The news caused excitement world-wide. A young Serbian man was so excited that he accidentally shot a man in the Bosnian capital Sarajevo. By an incredible coincidence, a war unlike any other ever seen broke out on the exact day the Hack & Sheo show aired it's first episode. The Great War was covered by the Hack & Sheo show extensively, as well as the Follow-up war. The show today runs with an approximate audience of two billion, and is run by the great-grandsons of the modern founders; Jonas Sheogorath and Benjamin Hackwode.
