In fact so much that I’d love to see a mashup with the other HBO series “True Detective” wherein the scene where Marty is given a flask to drink through watching a graphic crime, is swapped with scenes from Girls.

Today while reading a psychiatrist’s analysis of “Girls” it hit me, there are people truly this horrible and to find them all you have to do is watch any of the shows on Bravo. When Kelly watches an episode of the “The Real Housewives” and I’m in the room I have to do something that involves the use of headphones or leave the room entirely. The people on Bravo made me realize that “Girls” is life imitating art and there are people who are that horrible that deserve my visceral contempt.
