I have a question and can't use the message boards...
SparkyNova1318 July 2007
There is a song in this episode that I really love, but I don't know what it's called. It says something about 'What I do should be of no concern to you, or your friends'. The singer sounds a lot like Dido, but I'm not sure. Can anyone help me? Any other song names from the episode would be nice too.

Anyways, I really like this episode, it shows a lot of the hatred in this world that non-minorities, or non-persecuted don't often see. Only if we realize what we're doing, can we make an effort to stop it.

Any help regarding the initial query would be nice. I would post to the message boards, but as I do not have a credit card, cell phone or Amazon account, it won't let me verify my account so as to post anything.

Ok, but not good either.

Lily and Carmen are my two least favorite characters. All they do in the show is cry wolf, after feeding them. In Fag, Lily had her activist's blood run wild, only she's too naive and kind of self absorbed to really understand what it implied. So ends up regretting taking her stand of the week. I'm sure writers probably meant well, but just like in the previous episode, the way they tackled this issue, sounded childish and too typical of people creating risky situations, and not owning up to the repercussions of it. Also, the part where they just added whatever discrimination scenarios they could think of, made the episode lose focus and sincerity. Unlike « Booty Camp », and as they did in « Ch-Ch-Changes » last year, the show failed at making a thought provoking episode, which only appeared peachy and looking for ways to be convincing, without finding any. And fee of the biting humor, that used to make Popular so special and different from other teen dramas.
