Welcome to the BK, bitch

Can I still pass for high school? Because I’m about to pull a Never Been Kissed following this Brooklyn Tech High School News article (via gawker, and friend-of-tifaux-sara):

MTV’s newest soon-to-be hit show is Brooklyn. The premise is to paint an accurate picture for America of what life is like for the average Brooklyn high school student…This is a show about America’s urban teenagers, the street savvy teenagers, the teenagers who have to grow up that much faster because if they don’t, the city will eat them alive. They will be real and they will be tough and ready for anything that comes their way or at least so they think.

Do they teach grammar and punctuation at that school? No? Didn’t think so.

Also:

“A cross between Harlem in its heyday and Paris, Brooklyn is the ultimate city within a city. In fact, if it weren’t already incorporated into New York City, Brooklyn would be the third biggest city in the country. It’s said that one out of every six Americans has had a parent or grandparent who lived in Brooklyn at some point.”

… from their AP course in Convenient Statistics.

Needless to say… I cannot freakin’ wait.

    When I read that headline, I thought that you were going to write about Burger King. Now I want fries.

    Thanks for making me a fatty, Stickles.

    I cannot wait for TiFaux Goes Undercover on Brooklyn. And maybe the wee Beckham will be a guest star when he gets here!

    Katie, I agree. I don’t think we live in that part of Brooklyn. I think it’s on the G line or something

    Please, please cover this show for me.

    Also, this is a magnet school (read: full of nerds) so I wonder how “real” the kids are gonna be.

    Hey, I live on the G line, and that description is totally true! Well, if by “Harlem in its heyday” you mean “hipsters wearing plaid button-down shirts,” and by “Paris” you mean “Poland.”
