Well, coopting Ms. Grande is a pretty good start. ;p

Though what I can't help but notice about the last two DCOMs is this weird new message they're sending.

Both zAPPed and How to Build A Better Boy are variants on the "be careful what you wish for" theme that suggest that Boys are better when made artificial. ( Its just a darned shame that the technology can f*ck-up a girl's life. )

I hope they don't try for more "build a boy worshop" DCOMs.
