GREY’S ANATOMY<\/a> did the thinkable. They made me bump a villain to next week. So I’m sitting there, minding my own business and avoiding important projects by watching the nation’s fascination, GREY’S ANATOMY.<\/p>\n

Then they hang an old man’s grapefruit-sized swollen balls from the top of my TV set. The shock tactic: 1) stunned my primetime watching eyes, 2) made me laugh uncontrollably for two minutes flat, and 3) made me wonder, “How did they get this past the Inscrutable Censors?<\/p>\n

The Inscrutable Censors are the mysterious lot that make morality judgments for us so that we don’t have to. The ICs tend to bring incredibly useless and laughable notes on what qualifies as decent to new levels of the absurd. Yet these same folk decided seeing Candiru<\/a>-Infected Old Man Balls was the one thing they’d let slip through their bulldog grip.<\/p>\n

I’m not sure whether I should thank them, cause the comedy of that scene was worth dealing with the 40 minutes of whiny, pretty doctors that followed, or hate them because, yikes, Candiru-Infected Old Man Balls was just on my TV.<\/p>\n

There are few who aren’t scarred by that sight. They live in the dark corners of the internet. They are teh ones who thin a woman, wearing high heels, furiously stomping her foot inside a flushing toilet is an excitable thing. I fear any recognition of their dark desires will only embolden their cause and eventually topple society as we know it.<\/p>\n

Then again, comedy is comedy. Even if it’s a cheap easy gag. Hell, it worked for SOMETHING<\/a> ABOUT MARY<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since the villain I had lined up for today has a long shelf life and anything GREY’S ANATOMY will be old hat by the weekend, the ANATOMY Team will have to take one for the team and be evil.<\/p>\n

I could give GA permanent villain status for wasting Sara Ramirez<\/a>‘s genius talent on a weekly basis. I recently learned she was in Spamalot: The Musical<\/a>. Correction, she *owned* Spamalot: The Musical <\/a>whenever she hit the stage.<\/p>\n

Yeah, wasting talent<\/a> definitely makes them evil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
