I was watching Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School this morning. This is something like the fifth in that line of spin-offs from The Surreal Life. (I couldn't stand watching Flavor of Love for more than about ten minutes, but Charm School was kind of entertaining.)
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

My Dad is April 20th, which is Hitler's Birthday.
That's my friend Alexia's birthday. She's come to dread it because so many horrible things have happened right around it for so many years.

I was watching Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School this morning.
I haven't seen that but, just from the title, it sounds like an American "Ladettes to Ladies"!!!

God--AP is now reporting 31 dead, including the (apparently lone) gunman.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm so sad I only caught Ladettes to Ladies at the very end. Maybe I should check out the Charm School.

I read on CBS News that the gunman is described as a "young, Asian male" who was heavily armed and wearing a vest.
It doesn't sound like he just snapped; it sounds like it was relatively planned out -- maybe failed a class, or something?

Kind of. It's Mo'Nique teaching the girls from Flavor of Love how to behave. (Step 1 was to get rid on the nicknames. Step 2 was to try to encourage teamwork.)
I found it interesting that this show mentioned a lot more about their real lives than most other reality shows I've seen. Like, most of them were talking about how much of a huge difference the $50,000 prize would make in their lives, one was saying how she hoped that being on this show would give her the self-confidence to stop smoking weed. Just about all of them said something like, "My mother was really embarassed by me on Flavor of Love, so I hope I can make her proud on this show."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So they're no longer saying it was two separate shootings? with two separate gunmen?

They think it was just the one gunman. Two locations for the shooting: the dorm, where 1 person was killed, and the engineering building.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
"But I'm pretty outraged and I'll say on the record I'm pretty outraged that someone died in a shooting in a dorm at 7 o'clock in the morning and the first e-mail about it — no mention of locking down campus, no mention of canceling classes — they just mention that they're investigating a shooting two hours later at 9:22."
He added: "That's pretty ridiculous and meanwhile, while they're sending out that e-mail, 22 more people got killed."
If this is true it's inexcusable.
