So that explains "Charlie's Angels"...

Mad Cow hairspray.

Yes, it is apparently a real possibility -- well, um, not the '70s TV part -- but, really, the FDA plans to publish new regs on Wednesday to keep prions out of cosmetics. And all that "protein shampoo" I've poured on my head.... Hm. Maybe that explains the bad taste of this post...

J. objects that there's no longer any comic payoff in mocking "Charlie's Angels" because the "Charlie's Angels" franchise has become self-mocking and hence to be laughed with, not at.

True?

True. But I think you can mock them nonetheless. And the franchise still doesn't mock the hair-- that's left to revisionist franchises like Starsky and Hutch.
