we tried.

friends and acquaintances, as well as most of the pop culture-y literature that we read, have been raving to us about the office for awhile now. and i'll admit it - in the beginning we were just boycotting on account of the fact that we felt nothing could ever, ever, top the original series, so we wouldn't bother watching the shiny new american version. and we didn't. but then we were told we were being stubborn, so to prove how not stubborn we are, we gave it a shot, and it didn't hold our interest, and we went back to not giving a hoot about the show.

so today a few coworkers were going on and on about it, and realizing that i did in fact respect their taste in television, thought i'd give it another try. and we did. and yes, well, this evening we realized that loveandcyanide is just not a fan of the office, no matter how hard you try to make us think that we will be a fan of it, michael scott and co. really just don't do it for us.

----------------------

speaking of things we're disliking - what is the deal with toy companies reissuing and then RUINING classic toys from our childhood. first it was the bastardization of the carebears and my little ponies....now they've managed to sluttify strawberry shortcake?! what the hell.

I really think that you should petition Webster's to inclued the word "sluttify". I think it would be a wonderfully apt addition to today's vocabulary.
And yes, she has been horribly sluttified.

Even My Little Pony looks like her skirt has gotten tinier.

Simon and Laser Tag look pretty freakin cool in their updated forms, but He-Man...I don't know if there's a male equivalent to "sluttify" but he looks like a gay tramp now.
