Look at This Fucking Rip-Off: _10 Things I Hate About You_ , the TV Show

Hey, you know what’s an awesome idea? Taking a pretty decent movie and making a crappy kid’s show out of it. Wait. No. That’s a freaking awful idea.

Well, that’s exactly what ABC Family has done. Apparently it wasn’t enough to simply screen classic ’90s teen film 10 Things I Hate About You every day for the last six years or so, now they’ve turned it into a TV show, too.

The show, which is probably a train wreck, premiered last night. I didn’t watch it (although, let’s be honest, I’ll probably illegally download it later), mostly because of the notable lack of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, whose role the casting director filled with this Jewy-looking kid (see above).

I would make a Heath Ledger-rolling-over-in-his-grave joke, but I have more class than that.

For more bastardization of pop culture, check out this video, in which "edgy"-looking tweens demolish Cheap Trick’s "I Want You To Want Me."

What do you think?

    BTW, I’m not sure that guy in the picture (N

    That actor Nicholas Braun is not Jewish. He is going to be starring with a lot of Jews in The Perks Of Being A Wallflower (Logan Lerman, Paul Rudd, and I am guessing Ezra Miller is too).
