MySpace presents... people more boring than you (hopefully)

From the 'creative minds behind My So-Called Life and MySpace comes something even more dated than MySpace! QUARTERLIFE is a new web series that brings the post-adolescent, hyper-articulated self-indulgence that once belonged to Generation X to the 21st century cathedral of self-indulgence, the blogosphere. The series documents the musings and (minimal) drama amidst a circle of ethnically homogeneous 20-something friends/roommates/neighbours...One of them video-blogs about it. When exactly did people having private thoughts they kept to themselves become so unusual?

Despite being prey to similar pitfalls, My So-Called Life was a funny, sometimes devasting, but short-lived series from the mid-90s that was just given a proper DVD release earlier this year. Of course that probably means that someone corporate data cruncher decided that people who were teenagers in the mid-90s now officially have enough money to collect DVD box sets. Although it launched the career of Claire Danes, that series was vastly superior to this web dreck.
