I feel so...so...cheated?

So this happened to me LAST weekend, but I'm just getting my lazy ass in gear to post it now.

It was last Saturday, and I'm flipping through the channels on TV while making dinner. I land on the movie Goodfellas. Score! Great movie, one of those I'll watch anytime it's on. So I go about doing my stuff, peeking at the TV every once in a while, until the commercials came on, and the first spot was for Vagisil, or Massengil, or something of the like.

Working in the media, I know how advertisers will buy spots to maximize their reach to potential buyers or customers, and I'm thinking "What? Why are they advertising THAT on Spike TV?" That was my mistake. I just naturally assumed that Goodfellas was on Spike, since every other of the 1000 times its been on TV, it's been on Spike. Well not this time. I grab my remote, look at the digital cable display, and realize that I had been duped into watching:



I feel so ashamed as a man.

But honestly. I know women probably like Goodfellas as a movie, but enough to have it show on LIFETIME?

I swear if I find "Serendipity" on Spike TV, I'm giving up on TV for good.

You don't have to wait for Serendipity to come on TV. You can borrow the DVD from me any time! :)

Not sure why it is called Lifetime for Women...I can honestly say as a woman I would rather have my teeth pulled with no anesthesia than watch "The Crying Victims channel With The Second Rate Celeb for the Main Character Channel"...
