Britain on the Small Screen
As far as useless shit goes, this might take the cake (that is, of course, ignoring cutesy kleenex box covers and most American Doll collections). That doesn't, however, prevent me from wanting these talking stuffed dolls from Little Britain. As much as I've watched the show in the last few months, I still hurt myself laughing. It's a love hate relationship- I love it, my homework hates me.
This find reminds me of two facts: 1, my birthday is in 5 days, and 2, I must really not want to do this essay for Mark and Carol. One journal to go, a newspaper response to revise, and a 2500 word essay I have yet to start.
In other British cultural news (that is, to say, TV), I've recently discovered the trashy addictive qualities of Skins, an OC-wannabe show on E4 that takes the basic premise of The OC (skanky high schoolers in a rich setting) and makes up for a lack of Californian scenery with drugs and partial nudity. Basically, it's the sugary, drug induced crap of legend. Critics call it painfully unrealistic, while it is immensely popular among teens here for its almost dreamlike quality (Why Can't My Life Be Like This?)....
Just a little preview....
wow, i'm almost offended watching those.
