Giving Bloggers a Bad Name

I just watched the trailer for quarterlife, the Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick direct-to-Internet series premiering next week, and I have to wonder if they truly expect me not to be turned off by the arrogance of the lead character. In the snippet, she is the cliche of the self-important blogger.

I got hyped up for the show from this interesting op-ed piece (on the strike) Herskovitz published in the Times today. Now, I'm thinking they could have done with a network note or two.

Of course, maybe the longer presentation of quarterlife is better.

If it's going to be on the net anyway, wouldn't it be neat if they could make it interactive? Wouldn't need much. Just, say, I don't know, maybe a button to click on the screen that would deliver an electric shock to the character whenever she got really annoying, arrogant, and/or bitchy. That might be fun.
