"I wonder how popular this show would be: Black Eye for the White Guy in which 5 African-Americans dote on a white male, making both him and his home over. When they are through, they are wisked out of sight to watch on video the object of their transformation go forth into public. Safely removed from the public arena (and any chance for visibility or public recognition), they end each episode toasting the success of their just finished project and eagerly looking forward to their next chance to serve."

Oh, God, Brian, that's hillarious. Do it! You'll make millions!

I don't know why the show is so popular with hets. Maybe because it allows for a little repressed homoeroticism to emerge. That's not so bad. I watched one episode and found it to be (aside from the consumerism and the "queers are here to serve you" stuff) a lot better than I expected. I had no interest in ever watching another show again. I suppose I would if I were a cultural historian or something.
