'Red Widow' Gets The Axe
Press Kits Unwrapped: The O.C.
The O.C. is one of those shows that I did watch at one point, but the show quickly changed into something I was embarrassed to admit I ever watched at all. Like Beverly Hills 90210 or Melrose Place. I caught the first season of The O.C., but I just couldn't stomach any more of it. That's why it pains me that Fox sent me some O.C. swag (or should I say "siag") that I can't give away, and that I'd only fully appreciate if I were a 16 year-old fan of the show. And a girl.First thing I see when I open the box makes me wonder who Fox was trying to impress:
OK, I'll at least say that the fact they try to make it sound so luxurious with the "Eau de Toilette" branding made me laugh. But seeing as they say I can't give this shit away, what do I do with it? Oh, the toilet? Brilliant.
At this point I'm wondering if maybe Fox thinks the majority of press covering The O.C. are, in fact, in high school and could use something like this. Look, I'm not sitting around crossing my fingers and praying I'm getting anything useful out of these boxes, but when it's something like this and something we can't give away to you fine folks, I've gotta wonder. I mean, there have to be a bazillion O.C. fans who'd kill to have this bag. Look at the pins on it:
Lastly, here's something the press can use: the DVD with the first four episodes of the season, along with a cast bio book in the form of a comic book (which I admit is a pretty cool idea -- isn't Seth a comic book geek or something?)
