I have been chosen by the gods to be the one to bring humanity this message: What started out as a harmlessly crap show on the CW every week at 9 has taken on a life of its own and grown into something terrible - a fad.
The ins and outs of the annoying perfect Serena, date-rapist but apparently still loveable Chuck, and cloyingly sweet Dan, were irritating to begin with. While everyone is interested in what rich people do, people are universally annoyed by rich teenagers because you can't even pretend that they might in some way have earned and appreciate their money. Nope, they're just spoiled rich brats. So when it began, people were just mildly interested because there were jailbait pretty girls and it was fun to place bets on whether the men on the show were post-op or going through the change to manhood.
But now, the show is on a second season. And there's going to be a third? What? American teenagers, have you lost your minds? There is no need to see if Serena and Dan will break up again(they will) because you know in your little Coach-loving hearts that they will get back together within the next episode. And all those guys you've got posters of? Uh, I'm pretty sure they're women.

out of all the things i hated about my sorority house, this was #1 on the list. after meetings on monday people would run their fat little asses to the house to catch chuck rape some 13-year-old fashion major and giggle like IDIOTS.

Yeah, I watched the whole first season with such interest and sorta got into the books during the same time. Only got through one or two books in the series, and was kind of disappointed that the pilot of season one was the whole first book....and then it didn't follow the books at all.
Didn't care to watch the second season, but I'll see college girls make their status' "OMG IM SO EXCITED FOR GOSSIP GIRL!!!!"
It's kinda sad...(so naturally I mean, a lot sad).
