The Suite Hereafter

I woke up a little while ago, meandered into my kitchen and made myself some coffee. When I drink coffee, I like to watch T.V, just so I have someone to talk to. So I turn on the tube and to my dismay there is nothing on but Saturday morning children's drivel (which I stopped watching post-Ninja Turtles era). I decided I could sit through five minutes of this crap, but I was not prepared for what I was to witness:

The show I happened to stumble upon was centered around the "kooky" domestic lives of 11 year old twins who live with their mom and their maid (played by Estelle Harris, clearly picking up on the trend of post-Seinfeld disasters) in a hotel. BTW, these twins are the same little douche bags who "catapulted" to fame in 1999 in the crap-fest "Big Daddy" with Adam Sandler. I was shocked/ appalled/ amused by the fact that these HORRIBLY UNTALENTED pint-sized thespians get paid to act. Not to mention the pander they had to deliver was so unfunny, I could have barfed a better script onto a cocktail napkin. I was clearly so fascinated by this car wreck that I took the time to IMDB it and find out what's the dilly:

THE SUITE LIFE OF ZACK AND CODY: "Cole and Dylan Sprouse star in this bright new comedy for the Disney Channel about identical twins living at the Tipton Hotel with their single mother who is a lounge singer at the hotel. Ashley Michelle Tisdale stars as the hotel's teenage gift shop clerk and part-time babysitter who foils the twins' antics"

Did I forget to mention that their mother resembles a blonde, but haggard Carol Burnett after a coke binge? I have heard enough hotel oriented puns to last me a lifetime now.

Here's a jem of dialogue, kinda Freudian too:
Carey: He's just trying to keep this hotel running smoothly, and you guys tend to be *un-smooth*.
Cody Martin: Yeah. Un-smooth like when mom doesn't shave her legs for two weeks.

Don't stare at this image too long, it has a tendency to sear itself into your brain and then cause a grand mal seizure.

Anyways, I have a creepy premonition that I will be sued for slander by Disney after this post, so I say long live free speech, like any good liberal girl would.
