Isn’t crushing the immoral “culture” the alternative to “ignoring”, though?
When I was young, fat girls like that were ignored all the time.
I think Brian William’s daughter, Allison, who plays Marnie is pretty. It is kind of weird, but for some reason it can hold my attention. I am not sure if it is supposed to be a parody of urban life.
I tried watching the first episode to see what all the hubbub was about. I really tried. Couldn’t finish it. Scary to think that so many young minds are being corrupted by trash like this show.
It's even scarier that there are actually people like this and they vote.
There is a reason why Obama won the 18-29 vote by almost 27%.
from what I read about it on Breitbart, it was supposed to have been the ‘anti-Sex-in-the-City’.
If you’re going to have a show with nudity that I’ll watch fat and tattooed is not going to get me there.
Fortunately, for me, this is all irrelevant. I opted out of the TV portion of culture back in ‘88. Haven’t had a box in the house since. It will be a snag on crossword puzzles when their names get into that corner of the literary world because I won’t know who hey are.
Allison Williams got topless in one episode.
Anytime I see some trendy schmuck use the phrase “cultural zeitgeist”, I have the urge to slap them. I have no interest in seeing that ugly, tattooed, Stalinist tub o’guts whore, nor the progeny of the execrable Brian “I’m proud to watch my daughter have sex on tv” Williams (to which he probably pleasures himself to, the sick f***). The faster we nuke this “cultural zeitgeist” from orbit (just to be sure), the better.
Gawd, how I long for the days where true ‘ladies’ were treasured. I’ve already told my boys if they bring home trash like that...the ‘girls’ will go out the back door where we feed the animals.
I think a vile, repulsive (and utterly moronic) show like Shameless, which draws double the audience of TFGS, is a much bigger deal.
pass. I refuse to knowingly help an Obot. It has low ratings I think.
Me too.
I have never ever subscribed to the notion advanced by self-appointed arbiters of "tolerance."
I've never need to experience "deviancy," STDs or Meth face to be seen as "cool," "hip," or "tolerant."
But that's just me. We are all free to choose the social group we wish to identify with, but no one is free to decide for me what my choices must be.
Fat, it depends. Tattooed, not so much.
“Girls” had 860,000 viewers for its second-season premiere.
That means, statistically speaking in a country of 300 million, almost nobody watches “Girls.”
So how can you even type the word “zeitgeist” in an article about the show and keep a straight face?
“Zeitgeist” does not mean “reflective of what annoying media types and their creepy sibling spouses, bloggers, are talking about.”
For comparative purposes, in its best years, “Seinfeld” averaged 20 million viewers. For its series finale, “Friends” pulled in 52 million. THAT is the zeitgeist — what lots of people are thinking about/talking about.
And if I were a Time/Warner/HBO stockholder, I’d be screaming my head off about continuing to produce a proven loser that will never, ever go into profit.
Breitbart was right about not ignoring things that were successful and really making an impact.
“Girls” is neither. The thing to do is ignore it. Like MOST OF AMERICA already is.
Where is the New Normal?
He’s not only a trendy schmuck, but an annoying, condescending, clueless one as well.
Articles like this one are why Breitbart’s site is headed for the dustbin.
