Maybe We Should Be Watching The City

thumbnail icon: Maybe We Should Be Watching The City

Whitney Port's Hills spin-off The City is so painfully contrived and boring and stupid and annoying that we have decided not to watch it. I don't mean "we" in the blog-standard royal "we" as a coy stand-in for "I" definition of "we" either. I mean we. Videogum. Like, Lindsay and I feel that there are better things in this world for everyone to be spending their time looking at and talking about.

Or so we thought!

According to the HuffingtonPost, Nevan, who plays "social" Olivia's cousin on the show, was arrested for trying to pay for a blowjob with Oxycontin. YESSSSSSS! Man, some people live the life, huh? Incredible. I know that Nevan is just a side character on a show about side characters, but even just the whispered potential that people on this show might solicit blowjobs from lady cops posing as prostitutes with the promise of Oxycontin as payment makes it almost worth watching. That's actually a sign of just how bad The City is, that a member of the cast was arrested for trying to pay for a blowjob with Oxycontin (the funnest thing to say since "the Vice President shot his friend in the face") and I still won't watch it.

[Insert Boyz in tha Hood video clip. You know the one.]

I really can't think of anythig snarky or clever to say other than that is fan-fucking-tastic.

Much like Valkyrie, I'm going to try to inject the phrase "trying to pay for a blojob with Oxycontin" into the pop culture lexicon as a term used for a plan that is completely ridiculous.

Please please please start recapping The City. It's pretty much BEGGING to be made fun of.

please do! The City is terrible in general, but even more so when you live in New York. It's can't be boring because it's so ridiculous!

the city is the best. everyone is SOOO BORING. Except when that 'model' was going to fight for Whitney at some club after one night out and a lunch date. That was pretty funny.
