This segment, about the newest batch of genetically created teen stars for the Disney Channel empire, is perfect. According to the farce, everyone from Miley Cyrus to Hilary Duff to Zac Efron has been bred in a test tube to be a singing, dancing, photo-oping piece of merchandise.
If only this were true! Some of the best lines come while the lead geneticist for the project is talking about Efron, "one of our earliest models" and how its difficult for him to watch footage of the young star because all he sees are his mistakes, much like an artist looking back at prior masterpieces.
I also enjoy the ticker across the bottom that reads "Disney has created unprecidented ethnic blends," possibly referencing an earlier story component about a singing-snowboarding Japanese/Indian girl they have been working on.
No insult to Disney and trying to keep the youth of America pure, but quit trying to make all your stars out to be perfect kids! We know not even the Onion can engineer that!
