For me, Bravo’s PROJECT RUNWAY has always been the only truly worthwhile reality TV show, the one smart, creative people could enjoy without irony or guilt. The focus on individual creativity, the lack of obvious editorial meddling, and of course, the presence of Tim Gunn (the best TV dad since Cliff Huxtable) all contributed to making it the only RTV series that’s really worth defending — and this coming from me, who’s spent years trying to figure out why anyone gives a shit about High Fashion.

So I was surprisingly excited to find out that RUNWAY is coming back for a fourth season, Tim Gunn and all (there was some question about whether he would return after he went and got his own show). This is good news, if only because it means I get to spend another season annoying Jill with my awful, Nazi Commandant-ish impersonations of Heidi Klum.

Klum: “Von off you vill be IN, und von off you… VILL BE OOOOOOOUUUTZ!!”

(And yes, I realize this makes two posts in a row about fashion-related reality shows. I don’t know what’s happening to me, either.)

Sure, all that plastic surgery has left you looking a little creepy, and you’re pretty much borderline retarded, but you had heart, kid.

Mandy Lynn, you will be missed.

…is Nadshot.com, which is an ever-expanding collection of comic book panels featuring dudes getting kicked in the balls. Hard.

(Weird to note how many of them are from Morrison’s ANIMAL MAN.)

Crunch!

The IMDB boards for AMERICA’S MOST SMARTEST MODEL (registration required).

In addition to the show being eleven kinds of awesome, it’s apparently very offensive to stupid people.

I really enjoy the posters who argue against the show’s validity by saying things like “no1 is rly dat stupid dey just acters actin stupid” and of course the ones who immediately turn it into a political thing with gems like “u liberals all make fun of ’stupid’ ppl models got looks an money u just jealous”.

Via Blogtown, PDX:

So. Pretend you just came into some money. What’s the first thing you do?

Buy a new car? Make some investments? Pay off your college loans, maybe?

Or…

Do you buy the complete “Rockafire Explosion Show” from a Chuck E Cheese that’s going out of business, take it home, install it in your garage…

…and make it do this:

I think we all know what the right choice is.

You’re welcome, Internet.
