Drawn to Drawn Together

In the mood for a reality show? No? Didn't think so. As reality shows have consistently failed to simulate the elusive (to TV show writers) concept that is everyday life, most people with three digit IQs have stopped watching them.

Comedy Central's animated show, Drawn Together, is as far from a reality show in the contemporary sense of the word as can be. It's satire at its cleverest and least pretentious. The show stars a sexist, racist (everything else-ist) superhero who goes by the name of Captain Hero, a crass internet download called Spanky Ham, an "ill-conceived" (the show's words. I think it's dead-on) take on SpongeBob Squarepants called Wooldoor Sockbat, a broad caricature of African-Americana in the 70s called Foxxy Love, a grossly unsexy 20's era sex symbol called Toot, a gay computer-game character called Xander, a bible-thumping homophobe and all-around bigot who also happens to be a fairytale princess called Princess Clara and a tiny pokemon-type japanime monster by the name of Ling-Ling who, sadly, represents the entirety of the Asian community.

If that long-winded and, consequently, grammatically-fucked-up sentence isn't enough to get you interested in this show then here's a link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKc_et8g5L0&mode=user&search=) to a trailer of it's 3rd season. As my grandma always said, an animated picture's worth a thousand useless words. Actually that's a lie. She never said that. Poor woman would probably end up in the fetal position, in a pool of her own urine, if she ever saw this show. God bless old people.
