Discussed: Machiavelli; Good Advertising; K.D. Lang; Breaking Up; Knee Socks & School Girl Outfits; D.U.M.B.O./Williamsburg/D.U.M.B.O.;
I suppose it was midway through the first season that our female friends really weren’t able to keep it to themselves anymore; they loved Gossip Girl and had to shout about it.
Like many of the likes and dis-likes of incessantly clap-trapping friends, their pleas, subtle or otherwise, for boy recognition for their oh-so-precious show with the somewhat silly name fell repeatedly on deaf ears. Gossip Girl? While I like girls and gossip can sometimes begrudgingly be fun, together I wouldn’t say those two things necessarily guarantee ’round the clock woo-hoo good times party times. Especially when those perennial good times are meant to be sustained in a one hour format show; certainly a dying or already RIP dead form. The whole think just reeked of a 64 oz Big Gulp of lame. Wasn’t it on the mega lame-o WB – what good have they ever given the world, Moishe? Really. I’m asking.
