You heard it here first: creativity is dead.

April 22, 2011 by Amanda Ameer

I was watching some Family Guy on Hulu last night after the tragically disappointing New York City Opera Stephen Schwartz concert thing (if Raúl Esparza bores me–me, who has Loved Him Forever–everyone’s in trouble), and saw a preview for this Friends With Benefits movie. Didn’t I see this movie this summer? Possibly kind of tipsy? As a joke for a friend’s 30th birthday?

Oh wait, yes I did. Were Natalie and Mila both just like, maybe this would be cute? Like wearing matching outfits to middle school?

Anyway, just wanted to let you know about creativity’s untimely death. RIP.
