We’re too busy playing on the Internets to watch television, but we’ve read on the blogs that NBC is sort of down and out these days; scraping the bottom of the barrel, you might say. Even so, we were completely unprepared to read this in today’s Washington Post:

Wow. That may prove to be more stupid packed into a half hour of television than the American public can handle. We don’t mean to suggest that we know more about programming than the career experts over at the National Broadcasting Company, but that idea seems like, really fucking stupid.

None. Grease is intolerable, even when it’s an ironic punk cover.
