the pickup artist strikes again - today's casting notices.

my box is flooded with casting notices. i'm in a giving mood, so i'm passing the best ones on to you within the next week or so, so check back daily.

you'll notice i included vh1's "the pickup artist" in today's casting notice. i do this mostly because i think its hilariously lame. and probably to prove some strange point of today's crappy tv and start a pondering on how in the world this show got a second season.

forgive me, all you "pickup" fans, but i just find him and the concept extremely "tool"ish, to bring back a word from 1998.

i mean seriously girls, the guy's name is "mystery". he's the type of guy that i conscientiously avoid when i go out. the kind of guy i give the reject line to when he asks for my phone number - just so he thinks i'm being nice but i'll never really have to see or talk to him again. (if you've never heard of the reject line, google it, very handy).

why? first, his attire is ridiculous. its beyond confidence, its just plain lack of reality. i might stare at him in a bar, but not because he's got a great pickup line or is smooth with the ladies - but because i'm trying to figure out which costume shop he got that flamboyantly tall hat from. seriously? you've got to be joking.

second, the long hair. no, not sexy tousled bed hair, but long, vampire, silky smooth girly hair. no, no, no.

third, the voice. now i know he can't help it and i have no problem with his voice in a normal world. just not as "the pickup artist".

fourth (as if i need a fourth). i don't want to hear the same words out of your mouth that you've said to the last ten girls you tried to get to go home with you. you might fool us in the bar, but once that fades and you run out of script.........its like a trainwreck. we might stick around for a bit in awe of the mess, but when its all done, we'll just keep on down the road.

anyway, i'm sure he's a great guy, and i don't mean to rip on him (just in case he's reading), but seriously..............is he the best you could get, VH1?

girls, watch out. a "mystery" pick up artist clone is coming to a city near you. you never know when they will strike. but you can most certainly spot them by their giant furry hats.

We are now casting guys to be on season 2

*ARE YOU A QUIRKY BUT LIKEABLE GUY WHO HAS TROUBLE PICKING UP WOMEN?

2) You are shy or akward when interacting with beautiful women
