10.28.09 WHAT’S ON TONIGHT: MODELS IN BLACKFACE

America’s Next Top Model (CW) — The models do a shoot where they’re made to look biracial. And in this case, “biracial” means “make a white person African.” I guess it’s not blackface if you paint the whole body. (See gallery at Jezebel.)

World Series (Fox) — Game 1: Phillies at Yankees. Looks like it’s done raining in New York, so there’s an outside chance this series ends before mid-November. But don’t worry: Joe Buck and Tim McCarver will make it feel MUCH longer.

Modern Family (ABC) –Nothing to say. Just mad love.

Friday Night Lights (DirecTV) — Season premiere. Coach Taylor’s now working over at East Dillon. Pretty sad that you can be in the anus of west Texas, and there’s still a bad side of town.

Top Chef (Bravo) — Natalie Portman is the guest judge, which would be all kinds of awesome if not for the fact that you just KNOW she’s going to impose her veganism on the chefs’ cooking requirements. By the way, that is NOT a spoiler. It’s just my guess. I could be wrong.

South Park (Comedy Central) — This is the episode I talked about yesterday with all the Japanese dolphin-killing. Do you know why the Japanese kill dolphins? Jealousy. Dolphins are the perverts of the seas. They rape octopi with their own tentacles.
