Clone High

If you haven’t seen the new MTV series Clone High, check it out, it’s a real “smart” show (will be cancelled within 2 years). Tonight’s episode (number 4) had Joan of Arc expressing her love for Abe Lincoln via a very avant garde faux French film that featured Genghis Khan issuing a primal scream wearing a “Screw Tibet” T-Shirt. The episode also began with a riot prompted by a victory by the cross-country team (lead by J.F.K.)-where Aristotle broke into the library and stole all the books. Finally, I can’t leave out the fact that Gandhi & George Washington Carver made a buddy secret agent film that shattered the stereotypes of blacks and Indians and showed that the two ethnic groups could get along-it was titled “Black & Tan.” What’s not to like? Plus, Cleo is hot:

(Yes, I know the real Cleo was a half-Macedonian half-Pontic dog….)
