Face it: 395 (and counting) episodes of solid crime television isn't enough. We need more Law & Order: SVU.
Luckily, developer Scott Luptowski has a solution with episode descriptions generated by a computer program.

Sure, SVU can seem slightlyrobotic already, but to be fair there are only so many variations of "I want a lawyer" that you can write before you're just saying nonsense.

After building a script to pull episode descriptions from Hulu, IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes, Luptowski used a tool called a markov chain to automatically predict text based on the existing episode summaries. Luptowski told Mashablein a DM that he then ran the episodes through the chain hundreds of times to find the funniest results.
As you can see, the computer-generated episodes deserve, at the very least, a dozen Emmys.

Also, I'm pretty sure, "An Assistant District Attorney is found in the victim's purse" was already an episode.
