Media commentary

I'm watching the first episode of Dr. 90210 and it's fairly disgusting.  A woman in her mid to late 50's is undergoing a chemical facial peel so she can look 20 or so years younger for her wedding to a man at least her age.  Why isn't he in there getting his skin chemicalized with her?  Because it's perfectly okay for a guy to look old.  Effing bastards. 
 
And she's totally bought into the whole thing - claims she wants to be his 'trophy wife'.  How can ANY woman say that and keep any shred of dignity or self-respect?  I note also that she's wearing a scarf to hide her still mid-50s neck from her early 40s face.
 
Second comment - I saw the WB commercials for the 2045 movie - the one where the US president of 2045 is growing up today & we get to watch him or whatever.  Guess what?  He's a privileged, educated, attractive white male.  Who's surprised?  You'd think that we could at least pretend that in 40 years we could have either a woman or a person of color in the 'White' House.  Apparently, TV producers don't have that kind of imagination. 
 
No big shock - since watching a bit more TV recently, I've realized that, except for Joss Whedon, there's almost no one worth a shit, let alone worth watching.
