Fat-whatever.

Ha! We can get so outraged so quickly about things we barely know anything about nowadays, it's almost commendable.

Stop being so BOSSY.

Yeah, that was a bit of a weird cap to the article. "You know, I was on the fence about whether this was the worst idea I'd ever heard, but then when I found out the creator was in the Army? Whooo boy! Fuck this show!"

American = white. You know what I mean. You know, American imperialism and what have you. Wipe that smirk off your face.

Sounds like the kidnapping part is a big deal about this show and her fight to get back home, so mostly not the same premise. We want intrigue, danger…romance! You're giving me Diff'rent Strokes in Arabia!

B_O_R_I_N_G!

How else to get her trapped in a world she never made? Wormhole?

But it's about a white person in a foreign land! Automatic outrage.

To be honest, the execs who created and greenlit this don't care about any Arab backlash as long as it doesn't get too out-of-control. Their target demo is suburban white teenage girls, so they'll market to that.

Nobody does, my friend. Nobody.

"America's savior complex".

Travolta as the Judge & Hawke as The Kid.

GoldieBlox isn't about empowering girls, it's about making money by marketing to girls. They have pretty much nothing in common with the charities this money is going to.

It started out as a direct-to-dvd movie starring Dave Foley, then somebody decided it could make $100 million in theaters and they replace Foley with Dane Cook.

Typewriter? They're geniuses, not hipsters.

It's CBS. What could go wrong?

Because they're nerds and she's hot.

The very best kind of mom!

Remember that guy that used to copy old AV Club comments and then repost them in random spots? Yeah, I would bookmark this comment if I were him.
