You shouldn't miss the lecture, it looks good.

There's a lecture at 730 we could attend or skip - up to you - and then free drinks at 830.Sugarplumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14398099931247706500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17047716.post-1158862906532673672006-09-21T11:21:00.000-07:002006-09-21T11:21:00.000-07:00Fuck models.

Do you really want those marketers to understand you well enough to make TV for you? Doesn't that sort of defeat the point of being special? Which you are. In a good way!Mistress La Spliffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05809336191903934481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17047716.post-1158856844245961672006-09-21T09:40:00.000-07:002006-09-21T09:40:00.000-07:00I'm there.

I'm just waiting for America's next top male model.<BR/><BR/>I've always hoped that I could damn a show into unproduction by simply refusing to watch it but it doesn't seem to work. The shows that infuriate me are so popular - Everybody Hates Raymond and all the trailor trash sitcoms and sitcoms with bigots as characters, Deal or no Deal - that's just stupidity to sit throught that show, Trump shows, those daredevil reality shows etc. are all crazy popular despite my boycot and the shows that are genuinely good (such as Arrested Development and Serenity) are cut early. Obviously no one is paying attention to what my demographic watches. I'm also a bad consumer so maybe they have good reason to ignore me. Who cares what a vegan/feminist/environmentalist watches.Sugarplumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14398099931247706500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17047716.post-1158856434626470552006-09-21T09:33:00.000-07:002006-09-21T09:33:00.000-07:00More buns, less guns.

Ripe, ripe bullshit.<BR/><BR/>It's a hard thing for people to admit, that they shape what is on television, because there's so much ripe bullshit so it says bad things about us. But it should also be a powerful thing.<BR/><BR/>More buns, less guns, that's what I say.Mistress La Spliffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05809336191903934481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17047716.post-1158854657781156792006-09-21T09:04:00.000-07:002006-09-21T09:04:00.000-07:00I'm on Mel's side.

That show cracks me up and is harmless as far as I'm concerned (last season they actually criticized someone for being too skinny - she did win the competition though). I must admit, I was very disappointed with myself for liking this show.<BR/><BR/>Anyways, I like the way you argue about television. It is so interesting to hear an insider's perspective. This reminds me of Margaret Atwood's book, Oryx and Crake, the part where the boys watch porn on the internet and eventually realize that they are perpetuating the girls' misery by consuming the product which is the filming of their abuse.Sugarplumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14398099931247706500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17047716.post-1158849920607423292006-09-21T07:45:00.000-07:002006-09-21T07:45:00.000-07:00Oh Mel.

I hadn't heard about Richard Hammond, though I have seen the show before. <BR/><BR/>I have never understood the reality tv phenomenon myself, except the gladiator comparison put it into better perspective for me. <BR/><BR/>Having said that, I sat down and watched America's Next Top Model with my sister last night. And I was entertained!Melbinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03289493982553105244noreply@blogger.com
