Under the "One Day I'm Going to Write This" heading....

Watched an older episode of a popular television show the other day. Was amazed at how utterly dismayed I was to once again see the use of the psuedo-unattractive, overweight, and thus psychologically-damaged female as the 1) obsessive and deluded stalker, and 2) poorly disguised humor device. Wouldn't this have had more "unexpected" impact and given them more than a few stereotypes to explore if they had used a thin and conventionally viewed as attractive actress in the role? Just think of the possibilities!

Yeah, I'm wondering where that bit of critical thinking came from as well. Not usually in the forefront when I'm seeking light, televised entertainment.
