live from the shitpile of hegemonic baseball-loving patriotism

Forthcoming: meta on the Torchwood US casting call that's going around, because there are multiple levels of fail there (race [any non-white person is interchangeable!], gender [she's in love], disability [he's an insane but clever criminal] and...well, what I get into in the subject line).

Not that I was expecting much from RTD, but nothing this bad.

Anyway, I've got to go to the orthodontist and deal with my father today, but this...I've got things to say.

It may tie into my 'the dominant UK paradigm about US people is about as fucked as what the dominant US paradigm about the UK' concept.

Edited because I made a blanket statement that I thought better of.

Here's lizbee's post. This was floating around Twitter today, no official confirm/deny.

Apparently there's a post about it on ONTD, but it's flocked.

The UK version itself was problematic, but *STAYING AWAY FROM USA VERSION KTHX* :(
