I wish the US version of Skins had turned about to be as bad ass as this promo was.

Effy
Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester)
Four years ago I was just a guy who had a crush on a girl who had a boyfriend. And I had to do the hardest thing I ever had to do, which was just to wait. Don’t get me wrong I flirted with her. Pam, I can now admit in front of friends and family that I do know how to make a photocopy. I didn’t need your help that many times. And do you remember how long it took you to teach me to drive stick? (Pam: Like a year). I’ve been driving stick since high school. For a really long time that’s all I had. Little moments with a girl who saw me as a friend. And a lot of people told me I was crazy to wait this long for a date with a girl who I worked with, but I think, even then I knew, I was waiting for my wife.

Charlie, It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia
I’ve made mistakes, maybe more than most. Aren’t they mine though? My mistakes, my guilt. Or do a woman’s mistakes belong to everyone?

It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia
You are normal, too.
I love television and movies and books. I especially love television and movies and books that address issues near and dear to my heart, feminism, sexuality, homosexuality, race equality and pacifism. Even more than these, I love television and movies and books that don’t have to address these issues at all.
This is wishful thinking that I find is rarely fulfilled, but I love to see a television show where a boy and a girl are best friends, and no one asks if they’re fucking. I love to read a book in which a woman is successful and celebrated in her career, and none of her friends sit her down to ask if her ‘personal life’ is suffering. I love to see a movie in which a gay boy is the quarterback of the football team… even more than that, I’d love to see a show, based on a small town football team and its quarterback, where you as a viewer don’t even realize the quarterback is gay until the linebacker asks him how his date night with his boyfriend went. I love a TV show where the 18-year-old white boy is worrying about his relationship with his black girlfriend, but only because he’s worried they won’t stay close when they go off to different colleges.
It’s probably naive to wish shows and movies and books would be less representative of what society IS and more representative of what society COULD BE, but sometimes I wonder:
If media is so powerful, couldn’t we wield that power to send a simple, subtle, yet powerful message?
“You are normal, too.”
