Bloody hell you Americans sure do have clever ways of disguising your bigotry. "Hey Chap, here's an idea! Lets discuss interracial relationships, classism, and confronting stereotypes by creating a tv spot and ultimately show about cavemen living in modern society." "Brilliant!" Erm, on second thought, perhaps not. When Saturday Night Live sketches turn into feature films, the complaint is always that it was basically a 90 minute sketch that could have been told in 5 minutes. Well this show "Cavemen" on ABC is basically a 30 minute commercial that was told much better in 30 seconds.
Must feel good to be black, Hispanic, Asian, Pacific Islander (geesh, you people and your classifications) in America right now. The major networks do not have any new shows with characters centered around your nationality, yet they do have one about a group of hominoids that have been extinct for over 40K years.
Exactly how do 3 cavemen afford such a posh apartment in a nice area living off one of their IKEA salesman salaries? Must be a good year in Leksvik, Tylosand, and Crappola sales. Are we to forgo what history has taught us about the Cro-Magnon? Didn't they have pea-sized brains? Well then why are they playing chess, writing thesis, mastering Nintendo Wii controls, and shagging hot blondes?
Speaking of hot blondes, if that set-up in the restaurant didn't scream, "I only date brothers," then I don't know what does. If you saw it lads, then you know what I am talking about. It'll be an Ice Age in bloody hell before I watch this program again.
Question of the blog:
Did you watch Cavemen? What do you think about it?
