on cougars, part 1; or why I {heart} Kristen Schaal
I both love and hate it when someone does something so genius that it immediately makes anything I might write completely irrelevant. I love it because I love good cultural criticism (especially when it's funny) and I hate it because I didn't freakin' come up with the idea first.
This piece from Kristen Schaal of The Daily Show pretty much nails my issue with the term "Cougar," and it does so with deft, sly humor. I kind of fell in love with her watching it. I'll probably end up writing on the word anyway, just because I have poor impulse control.
Here's the clip for those of you who either missed it or don't have cable. (I got it from Gawker, if you're interested in following the link.)
Kristen hasn't been on the show very long, but she's done some VERY funny stuff... The Ms. and I were cracking up watching the "cougar" piece...
