Weeds: The Martha Stewart Case Study

Highball reports from the suburbs about a new TV show set in the suburbs about a weed dealing soccer mom. Hell if we lived in the suburbs driving a Range Rover with bratty kids in the back we'd be more likely to be a user rather than a dealer but that is just us. Highball however is studying business in the 'burbs so if there is a way to turn a solid profit from domesticity it could be a good case study for her Martha Stewart 101 Course. Enroll now:
"Nothing can beat Nip/Tuck, Sopranos and a select few other cable series. So, when resting between cocktails while visiting this heap called Philly, I’ve been struggling to find something to entertain me (there is nothing but cocktails, chain smoking, dodging sketchy corner dwellers and digital cable here, I swear). During this dark void of T.V. creativity that will last until Nip/Tuck’s long delayed return on September 20th, I’ve resorted to watching Showtime’s new dramedy, “Weeds”. This less intense (no whacks or drive bys quite yet), yet strangely addicting, program follows a widowed suburban mother who deals pot to pay for her Range Rover and gated community lifestyle. Entertainment value is especially high when you connect these psychotic parents and their screwed up kids to people you know. May not be suited for all males but the writing is particularly good. Perhaps try it with a bottle of wine."
