How to please the lesbian audience ... NOT!
I just came across this recent article... and I'm appalled:
Grey's Anatomy Same-Sex Smooch Revealed!
As if axing Erica Hahn from the show and leaving the Callica storyline unresolved hasn't already been bad enough... Not to mention the gross display of affection Callie was showing this week towards Psycho Sadie....
But now this?
What are they thinking? That we lesbians are desperate enough to swallow any pseudo-lesbian storyline they are throwing at us??
Why did Hahn have to go? Because she wasn't the "barbie doll" kind of pretty? Because she was too mature, too professional and definitely not slutty enough for Seattle Grace? Or is it because labelling her a real lesbian would have made it impossible for the character to ever hook up with a man (like Callie, who's keeping her options open)?
Here's a great response that sums the absurdity of it all up pretty well: Grey's Anatomy: Gone too far?
+++ UPDATE (Jan 6th, 2009) +++ Another really good article on behalf of the new Grey's phenomenon of suckage: 'Grey´s Anatomy,' 'Private Practice' are adrift
