Ok, you all know I am not a fan of Gossip Girl, and you also know I hold just about everything on the CW as helmed by Dawn Ostroff (with the notable exception being my temporary insanity on Thursdays at 9) to pretty much be a clusterfuck of mythic proportions, especially their marketing department.

But I seriously gotta give it up for whomever came up with this idea. There is one on my way to work every day, and every time I see it I have to chuckle and think, awesome.








And, OK, I seriously had no plans to add any more Supernatural content to this post than the thinly veiled plug above, but this is too awesome not to share. In reviewing SPN, this is in huge red letters across the top of the review: WARNING: Graphic Content!!! Do NOT push play if you don't want to see the explicit video!!! Ok, seriously? If they get this apoplectic over a show that airs just after watershed on a 5th rate network station, what must they say about shit on HBO? I think Supernatural has shown a shirtless guy like 3 times in 3 years. There have been more bra/underwear-clad women, but as we all know, the male form is infinitely more scary than the naked female one. Just looking at Olympic Swimming can turn you gay. All those glistening pecs? You better watch yourself, cause pretty soon, you'll have to move to the Castro and buy yourself an overpriced flat and possibly some assless chaps and a cock ring. Next thing you know, you're on the top of a Pride Parade float in the all together. Such is the power of male aureole. Not that female nipple is anything to sneeze at. I mean, I don't know about you, but I'm still traumatized by the Janet Jackson Super Bowl fiasco. Surely the nation's youth is still reeling.

I think I lost the topic there for a minute.

Also, this doesn't exactly dissuade me from wanting me to watch cause pretty much everything listed was pretty awesome when it happened:

“What say we kill some evil sons of bitches and we raise a little hell?”

With these words to his brother Sam, the character Dean establishes the premise of the CW’s horror/detective series Supernatural. But this program is no humorous, gentle Ghostbusters imitator. Suiting their actions to Dean’s words, Sam is shown using a flamethrower-like device to incinerate an enemy; Dean fires a pistol at a ghost, causing it to disintegrate; Bella shoots Sam in the shoulder; Sam complains, “I’m busting my ass trying to keep you alive, Dean”; and Sam shoots a woman directly in the forehead, her head jerking back as her eyes and skull glow infernally. She then stares blankly at Sam, the bloody bullet hole in her forehead visible, then slumps to the ground, dead. And all this happens in the program’s first few minutes -- before the current episode’s storyline even begins!
