    Pure Genius? Pure Stupidity!

    Bullcrap Heap gets it piled higher and deeper: Prom Girl wants to go to the prom because peer pressure. Nathan finally goes crazy from fellatio with his husband and gets a tick bite that somehow raises his blood sugar levels and puts lesions in his brain. They figger it out by analyzing his DNA for "unknown" sequences. Wha-a-a-a? Since when does a virus rewrite your DNA?

    That's right kids, we aren't in Kansas anymore. At Bullcrap Heap they got sumpin called "E-Skin" which can be printed out by special printers, so Prom Girl is going to be able to go with her "friend" -- not even her BOYfriend, just a "friend". Bell is so under the influence of this narcissist little smart phone user, that his own narcissism falls to wanting to go to the prom himself. So, he goes into cobbler mode and makes special blue-LED slippers for her so her feet won't blister. Wha-a-a-a?

    In the meantime, Zoe is schtumping Malik because, basically Schnitzengrüben are tasty, but now that she sees Bell taking an interest in Nina's mammary glands, she's starting to have boffer's remorse.

    Little Bobby holds his "daddy's" hand while his _other_ daddy reads Thomas the Tank engine to him. BARF.

    EVERYONE gets "cured" at Bullcrap Heap. That's why Bell ignores the FDA and shoots up Louis the GSS patient with experiemental drugs. That's what I call REAL integrity and ethics.

    Zero out of ten. As a matter of fact, they owe ME points for having watched this travesty.
