The producer's brother Steven, seemed to come up with a brilliant way to snag our emotions. Some of the girls seem to have come down with a mysterious flu-like illness. Yet they were cruelly made to strut about (straight out of the industry manual, Strut It Like a Slut Sista'! How To Do It Like Britney, Someone & Shechel Publishing) and dance anyway. Such are the ways of showbiz folks... it's a cruel mistress!
How could a network that managed to bring us Gilmore Girls stoop this low? Did they feel morally compelled to give equal time to those wanting to offer up an alternate image of young women as sluts-in-training? Were they worried they might not be in time to catch that 14-year-old girl in St. Louis before she decided to turn off the TV and open her science textbook?
The only other question I have is where do they produce the PARENTS of these young girls? Because another fantastic concept for CW would be a spin-off, entitled Beat the Parents! Let's track down these parents and watch as "professionals" run them down blind alleys and beat them senseless with rubber hoses. Their crime (it isn't one, but it should be) is not that they've raised children who want to be entertainers, that's fine — but that they've allowed their own children to become these pathetic displays of everything that's wrong with American culture in 2007.
I'm all for entertainment. I'm all for the fun and risque where appropriate. Lord knows I've fought tooth and nail against the fundamentalist Christians in their never-ending crusade to browbeat the rest of us to death. But there's a lot to be said against absolute moral relativism. The CW, along with others, seem to be driving us hard to moral free fall. The Pussycat Dolls Present is right there a whippin' and a beatin' us every step of the way.
Now, if you'll excuse me...
Where the hell is my rubber hose?

So, what you're telling us is that this show plumbs the darkest depths of the ocean of suck.
Given the premise, I can believe it.
Some days, I wonder: did the monkeys evolve from us?!

I've met several chimps who are adamant that this is the case... But then, you know how they can be...

There are several rational flaws to this otherwise fine flow of bile. The Pussycat Dolls are a great little pop group with several really great songs on their album, whereas the vile Spice Girls maybe made two decent singles. And the Gilmore Girls is one of the worst pieces of dreck television has ever produced!

Mr. Rose... Glad you recognize that I use only the BEST bile, extracted directly from the mental livers of several of the finest critics this world's ever produced...
Flaws sir! FLAW?!? ... Yah probably...
However, do realize that when you speak of the disease that IS the PCDs equating "good" songs to their last CD is essentially the same as suggesting Ford Motor made a "good" car... Perhaps but PURELY by accident...
As to the Gilmore Girls... Mr. Rose, please stick to the overall SATIRICAL element of the piece... We all KNOW the truth about the Gilmore Girls...
Thanks for your post sir!

Mr Marlowe: I would never suggest that Ford made a good car. Oh, except the Ford Gilmore! Ha!

That was a very good article but I'm going to have to read it a few more times with my 10 year old websters dictionary. I also dont think this mysterious Illness on the show lately is a good sign someone forgot to wash thier doll or something or screwed patient zero and shared too many few microphones. Jesus this is biblical, I'm not fing with the pussy cat dolls anymore.

Hey Olsen twin, right on!
Your commentary is so vapid. But can you handle the criticism you dish out? Have you ever made something yourself, other than a stink?
Speaking of your rubber hoses, which, from your overinflated sense of taste (from Ohio, oops...) the url I sent was a dare to put your money where your overabundant mouth is...
All roads must lead to Olsen... oh, I almost forgot, you tend to dish out those very things you yourself ban in your own "comment policy"
