Rough evening (outside causes). Didn't write, didn't read, but did watch several episodes of Drawn Together in a row. It's a "reality" show featuring animated character stars, with an adult sensibility and heavy doses of parody. The first episode addresses racism: Clara, the [white, Disney-style] princess, initially takes Foxxy Love [

Xandir is totally my favorite character on this show. His coming-out episode cracks me right up.

Toot Braunstein annoys the living daylights out of me, and also the show uses her to make points that bother me. (There's a lot of fat girl cutting herself humor, which just -- yeah.)

Ling-Ling also awesome. Did you see the one where Spanky employs Ling Ling to stitch cheap knockoff shoes?

I think everything on the show is intended to be a skewer, including Toot's fatness. My opinion may change when I've seen more; it wouldn't surprise me. I did see the Ling Ling one--that's the Asian racism ep. I like that the show seems to be hitting everything they can!

I really surprised myself by liking Drawn Together. I bought Foxxy vs. The Board Of Education off iTunes, forgetting that it was also the one where Spanky gets Gay Married for the Health Insurance, which just rocks as well as the A plot.

Oh, I tried not to like Drawn Together, but resistance was futile and now I watch it with a combination of jaw-dropped horror ('I can't believe they did that!' is a constant thought) and laugh out loud glee. It's sooooo wrong. It's so wrong it's right.

That sounds sickeningly compelling!
