Gingervitis

Brought on by South Park Epsiode 911. I never knew pale red-headed freckled children were referred to as "Ginger Kids". At first, I thought it was just a fabrication of the minds of Matt and Trey & Co. (a la Crab People). But to my surprise, "Ginger Kids" were every bit as culturally established as "Metrosexuals". I'd say the opening scene was the highlight of the episode. And it's great to see Clyde getting some exposure. He really is the unsung hero of the show.

I cant say that Ginger Kids ever freaked me out, but the ones I went the school with were bratty. The one that came at the end of Diffrent Strokes was pretty annoying too. Same with that Problem Child that undoubtedly took some years of John Ritter's life. Opie wasn't bad, though. I'd say the only really creepy ginger kid is this one.

Speaking of creepy, I'm looking forward to learning more about the dreaded "Others" from Lost next week. They've gotta be pretty nasty to scare the shit out of Adebisi and the chick from Girlfight. Speaking of Simon, it's still a little weird to see him and Wheelchair Guy together on a different show. I mean if they have to be together, shouldn't it be on Law & Order: South Pacific? Isn't L&O where all OZ actor's go (since they cant go to heaven)?

Prediction #1:

At least 1 of the "Others" will turn out to be a turncoat Oceanic airline passenger.

Aside from this being a golden plot twist, it's very plausible. Think about it: If the "Others" threatened to kill you unless you joined them in killing your fellow airline passengers, what would keep you from accepting? What bond did these airline passengers have before the crash? Outside of their loved ones, none.
