As my roommate was forcing me to endure the Today Show this morning (all they ever talk about is head scarves, I swear to god), I experienced a TV promo that had me doing double take after double take after double take. It's called Baby Borrowers, and its tagline is "It's not TV, it's birth control". I'm serious. That's really its tagline. The show follows a bunch of dumb teens who think having a baby in high school is an awesome idea (this is an epidemic, apparently) as they try to raise some poor bastard's real live baby for a little while. You see, according to the promo, it turns out raising a baby is actually pretty annoying and expensive and not really something 16 year olds should try to do after all. Somehow these kids are too dumb to know this, so I'm not sure I want them procreating ever, much less now. But that's beside the point.

Although I was all "What?!" "The hell?!" "Gah! I Can't ... What?!" non-stop for the entire thing, I eventually came to my senses and thought "Hey! That was a hilarious Strangers With Candy episode! It's about time they made a show outta that! Maybe this is OK!" It's not OK, but that's what I thought for a second. Hopefully these kids won't try to sell their homework baby on the black market like Jerri did, but like I said, they're pretty dumb so anything's possible. Also, if NBC tries to make a show out of the "You're a virgin as long as you pretend to act like one" episode, I am OUT! Watch a clip of Jerri Blank being an amazing pretend mom below.
