in a rare moment of television watching the other night, brian williams revealed to me yet another miserable way to entertain oneself on superbowl sunday: the puppy bowl. featured on the animal planet, this is a show that has no other purpose than to woo viewers with cute puppies running aorund a miniature 'football' arena. they don't do tricks or push a puppy football around or 'score'- all they do is play with each other and run around in puppy circles and drink from their waterbowl, which has a camera in the bottom of it for optimum puppy-lapping viewing pleasure.
i have two reactions to this: one- dear god, is this the only thing people can think to do with a few thousand dollars. rent a studio, get some puppies and a few cameras, air the results. and two- damn, those puppies are cute. caught between criticism and sentimentality! what's a girl to do?
