tit for tatt

Any of you kids watch those reality-ish shows that take place in the tattoo shops? Just me? Ok, glad we’ve got that squared away. You likely know the ones I’m referring to like inked and miami ink. And since we’ve established you’re not watching some of you remember a chick from L.A. making her way to miami ink for most of the last season and some of the one previous. I’m, obviously, talking about Kat Von D.

She was on the show until shit with Ami who, coincidently, is the shit hit the fan. She’s top-shelf sexy if you’re into that sort, but I prefer that girls i date not scare me to urination. And it’s not because I buy into the stereotype that anyone with tatts is a badass. Because they’re not. I mean hell, I’ll be getting one later this fall and I’m a gigantic pussy. She just scares me is all; like fat men in suits, or chanting, or small children on swings…

…and we’re back; apologies. She now has her own show coming out. It’s called L.A. Ink. That bitch. Well, not really, but how different can this show be? Miami Ink is sweet because it packs together a bunch of different personalities and does a decent job of not being over-the-top cheesy. Kat’s new gig has to be much of the same, because, if it’s not, it’s going to fail to hit it’s mark like a speech from a scientist at a Republican convention.

Oh wait, I know: it’s Miami Ink with skirts. Revolutionary but not as revolutionary as Girls behaving badly; those chicks are just toooo much. It’s the same thing, just a different package. Sort of or exactly like Moesha and the Parkers. Crazy that Kat and Kelsey Grammar now have something in common, no? Or maybe she just gets a bigger cut.

Good for her and all that, but fuck this. The spin-off obsession is going way overboard. I think Joey should have been the breaking point, or at least a cautionary tale circa leif garrett. you liked it? Really? Stop reading; we’re through here. And reality-ish television is so much worse. Every show has two iterations and they all suck shit. Kat, you’re fun and all, but you may have just made a gigantic misstep. Just saying.
