It kinda saddens me that I'm not more angered by this. Saw it earlier in the week and didn't bother.
It's an attempt at mocking sub-culture, with the usual humour of calling girls whores, vapid whores, sex-kittens, or lesbians and the always popular psycho bitch. I'm not going to spend the evening thinking up hate-mail to send the author. She clearly misses the point of a lot of the characters she attempts to pigeon-hole.
Take the "Lois" (Family Guy) example, now I loathe Lois, however, if you actually watch the show, you understand that she is supposed to be a satire on the "perfect wife". Not an actual Stepford. The WHOLE POINT of a show like Family Guy is mocking television tropes. As is the "Lucy Lui bot" from "Futurama" .
It's a cheap attempt at character study, when it's already a truth universally acknowledged that Hollywood is a master at peddling off the one-dimensional character. Male or female.
