We Change Your Channel

Nobody is faker than Bombalina. She wants to provide BadTV with the Eurotrash element she thinks is missing from American television. "You guys just don't understand superficial lures," says Ms. Lennon, who grew up in Geneva and burned her boarding school down. "American TV is shallow without meaning to be. It tries to be deep, but then dumbs everything down for the ratings. You can't have it both ways. In Europe, we know we are over-bred poodles. So we do our excited routines knowing full well there isn't a shred of sincerity in our blood. Jump up and down and bark and be pretty, and some butcher will always toss you a bone." Bombalina hopes to use BadTV as a launching pad to meet Paris H. Bomba says she wants to show her how to spit. "Rich dumb girls from Paris to London swallow too much. You can't be gullible and cool at the same time. I can teach a few people the right way to reject the wrong advances . . ."
