What's Right

You know it's not a good thing when your life is reduced to the latest Mary-Kate and Ashley DVD collection ...

These films fly in the face of all logic to me: You don't have a life because you are choosing to buy a set of movies about two fictional characters having a soap-opera existence that you are to do your pitiful best to emulate throughout your inner-city living young life.

So many things play into this societal drivel it ain't funny no mo'.

Hell they don't even list directors on the copy. Any director in their right minds wouldn't want to be associated with this pablum. But as all the teasers say: The Mary-Kate and Ashley Brand is #1 in Firls Video, Girls Videogame, Celebrity Fashion, Girls Book, 'Tween Lifestyle Magazine and has a growing presence in Music.

What the fuck is "'Tween Lifestyle'?"

I don't know enough to describe all the shortcomings here. Something about the reinforcing of the stories about ourselves we like to tell ourselves ...

Crap, I dunno. "It's hard to run when a coat hanger beats you on the thighs ..."
