The Ballad of East and West(continued)
THE GREEK CHORUS: Whitney and Lo vs. the Gossip Girl clique According to the 100 percent accurate Wikipedia, the Greek chorus "offers a variety of background and summary information to help the audience follow the performance. It comments on themes, and shows how an ideal audience might react to the drama." Gossip Girl's is the racially diverse, interchangeable group of aspiring socialites who cling like brain-dead remora fish to whichever girl is more popular on a given day. The Hills has Whitney and Lo. Constance Billard's leading clique doesn't really have much to say: They simply prop up whoever can secure a table at Butter and refrain from associating with whoever can't. Their inability to exercise free will or say anything remotely thought-provoking is sort of the point! Whitney and Lo, on the other hand, are more than mere characters the producers trot out when they need someone to get Lauren to explain the previous night in 12 seconds. (Though they are exceedingly good for that.) We hear that the gorgeous Whitney Port is not as dumb as she looks; her skill at subtly undermining Lauren both in and out of the workplace has become a weekly highlight. Also, it was pretty funny that one time Lo sucked face with Frankie Delgado. WINNER: Whitney and Lo, if only because we actually know their names. And there you have it: a tie! Gossip Girl and The Hills are both equally valid ways for you to waste time that you should be spending learning things. Enjoy!

Oh, Neel -- you and your Hills-ness fill me with glee and make me laugh and snicker alot. Loved your "feel the booze on your skin" and now... love this one too. I realize you had a co-writer here (and props to that person, too) but just wanted to say rock on and thx for the good times online. Posted by: kentology on May 5, 2008 6:50 PM well you've got my love, hailey! your recent analysis of the hills really seals it. but i just have to point out that for those of us too lazy for subtext, GG packs a way more entertaining punch. you refer to an "in joke" on GG in this article, while the hills is only ever unintentionally funny. and no one on the hills ever has sex in the back of a car. would you even want them to? they are hot but somehow unsexy, whereas i would fuck pretty much anyone on GG, including the parents.
