Welcome to SnitCrit

Welcome. The title is supposed to be a play on "litcrit", or is it "chicklit?" I can't remember. Anyway, we're going to review all sorts of things and then post those reviews here so that literally millions of people can ignore them.

Hopefully we'll be a little more engaging that those snarky people on the VH1 specials. Actually, I think the girl with the blonde hair and the cat glasses is so un-compelling that she's compelling. Or rather, the fact that she's actually on my TV seems important to me. She's like a Lisa Loeb who can't sing. They bill her as a comedian, so she must be funny. Maybe she's funny to women. Maybe she's appealing on one of those esoteric feminine wavelengths that I cannot actually perceive, the comedic equivalent of a dog whistle.


At her shows I'll bet the men in the audience are bored. They check their watches, they play with their cell phones, but they can't leave because their girlfriends and wives are laughing like crazy.

I don't know. There's something about that girl with the blonde hair and cat glasses. She was on an episode of CYE, playing a receptionist. Not very exciting and yet, there she was. She was there. Somebody had to play the receptionist, and she was picked. How does she keep getting picked? Maybe she's an expert in getting picked. Maybe she stands out in a crowd. Maybe it was a talent she discovered in grade school and has been cultivating ever since.

Was there something in her rice cake commercials that I missed?
