NZ TV soap LOL: slut! (whoops!)
Yow! Shortland Street (long-running New Zealand tv soap) is actually interesting again or at least watchable. The addition of a character with Terretts syndrome was actually bloody funny! He's a student at the local high school and can't help but spout out all kinds of acceptable 'profanity' (hey this is a 7pm show on free-to-air tv). So he comes into class and right next to the teacher says 'Whore! Bitch!' much to the amusment of his classmates and this 40 something viewer. Next he's talking to his classmate and he blurts out 'Big tits!' which is both funny and accurate since the girl he's talking to does indeed have large knockers.
If only he could comment on his fellow characters and yell out 'oh shut up you busty baby' (to the preening, whining, 'lipstick lesbian' Maia who has the biggest breasts on the show) or 'harden up you namby pampy!' (to the washed-out, finger down the throat nice guy Mark who is in love with cry-baby Maia but married to her cute heterosexual sister). Oh the words I could put in his mouth - 'show us your acting ability you overpaid mediocrities!' Oops....that's going too far...
