Talk Nerdy To Me: Watching 'The Mis-Adventures of Awkward Black Girl"

So I FINALLY have gotten around to seeing The Mis-Adventures of Awkward Black Girl, the award-winning web-series made by the lovely Issa Rae.  I have watched exactly six minutes so far and already have cracked up twice in recognition. (I can't help being a nerd, y'all!) According to Wikipedia:

"Issa Rae was inspired to create The Mis-Adventures of Awkward Black Girl in January 2009 while working at New Federal Theatre in New York City.  Experiencing difficulty in meeting people in an unfamiliar place, Issa Rae decided that it would be entertaining to depict uncomfortable scenarios one may experience when dealing with others....

Boob Tube: Persian Version of 'Jersey Shore'?

On Wednesday, Bravo announced they’re working with Ryan Seacrest’s production company to create a Persian version of the “Jersey Shore.” The series is currently being called Shahs of Sunset and will follow a group of young Persian-American friends who "juggle living and working in Los Angeles while balancing the demands of their families and traditions.”

It’s just the latest show to highlight people of color. But the jury’s still out on whether or not that  I, for one, highly doubt that the representation is useful.  Also, I personally just don't trust Ryan Seacrest's too toothy grin, but perhaps that's just me.
