TV Review – Glee

Guest Post by MoleWife
So I just finished watching the pilot episode of Glee.  It is a terribly hokey show in the finest traditions of 80’s underdog movies — the only thing it didn’t have is a training montage, and I’m SURE that’s coming.  But it had everything else:

Tiny (6-person) underfunded, under-appreciated collection of misfits drawn [...]

Joe Quesada: I really am that dumb.

Now, I do understand the reality of the comic book industry. But Joe, the cover is the least of the problems here. While I actually do think Marvel Divas could do something interesting, I strongly suspect it will end up being (as has been noted) Carrie Bradshaw bullshit and thinly veiled lesbian subtext.

Cheating Woman Gets Off Easy

Sadly, in much of the middle east, serving a little time is the best possible outcome.  She’s lucky she wasn’t stoned to death.  Probably because she’s from the UK, and doesn’t have a family who would rather slaughter their daughter than put up with her evil ways.

What the Warren issues really show

Lets summarize first.

Doctor’s beliefs come before patient health

Yet another rule allowing doctors to deny treatment
Yes, this is aimed at abortion, and yes, I know there are already rules allowing this bullshit. But it angers me every time it comes up. Doctors can decide what care you do and don’t get, but god forbid they make your little girl get vaccinated [...]

Ted Nugent: Oh yeah baby, republicans like rapin’ those bitches!

Really? This guy is the face the Republicans want to put out there?
Nugent: I was in Chicago last week I said—Hey Obama, you might want to suck on one of these you punk? Obama, he’s a piece of shit and I told him to suck on one of my machine guns…Let’s hear it [...]

Campbell Brown: Context Context Context!

So Campbell Brown took a remark from a politician and really twisted it around.
Whats unfortunate is that many of her points are absolutely spot on. They just have nothing to do with the actual remark.
