SHAME, CANADA: Just a few quick DeGrassi notes:

(1) In this week's episode, they introduced three new characters -- two cheerleaders and the new hot guy, all with major speaking roles. At this point, there are more characters on DeGrassi than there are teens in Canada.

(2) The aforementioned "new hot guy" is a hideously ugly gay half-Asian mop-top with ADD (who, of course, can't act). For good measure, they threw in his two (real) hideously ugly gay half-Asian brothers. Watching these three throw the football around is to regular football as watching the Sharks take on the Jets is to gang warfare. At this point, there are more hideously ugly gay males on DeGrassi than there are teens in Canada.

(3) They're setting up the new hideously ugly gay half-Asian mop-top as Emma's new love interest. Let's review earnest good-girl Emma's love life. First she dated the troubled boy who fled his home town after deafening a kid in a fight. Chemistry: Zero. Then she dated the deejay with the debilitating speech impediment. Chemistry: Zero. Then she blew the stoner in an abandoned van to get a homemade bracelet. Chemistry: Zero. Gonorrhea: One. Up next: a half-Asian Crispin Glover with a Carol Brady haircut. At this point, there are more implausible love interests for Emma than there are teens in Canada.
