- Nothing to worry about, there are numerous people who are mainly referred to
- as being quite intelligent who watch BH 90210. (Nope, it's not me) Maybe it
- is because this series is so incredible politicaly *UN*correct (at least in
- a Dutch way of P.C. - by the way, in Holland we got a magazine called P.C. ('
- Propria Cures', which is everything, except Politcally Correct), so
- incredibly uncorrect, I was saying, that maybe therefore it is fun to watch.
- The way people like to read pulp, or maybe it's like kitsch turning into
- camp. What me striked when I saw BH is that there are no hispanics, blacks,
- jews, or other minorities in it. The last time I accidently zapped into BH,
- there was an afro-american in it, but just for the sake of showing how
- good (& politically correct) the main character is.
