It's a little bit disconcerting to watch "Mean Girls" surrounded by a bunch of teenagers who laugh at the girls in the movie, failing to realize that they themselves are EXACTLY like the actors on screen. The movie (which is really good btw) is about a group of girls called the "Plastics" - girls who bitch, gossip, backstab, are superficial, are dumb, are slutty, are superficial and are superficial. The girls sitting around me, made fun of how stupid the "Plastics" were and laughed at all their antics on screen. Meanwhile, they were wearing skirts that should've been illegal for their age and tops that were tight enough to juice an orange... so to speak... okay more like juice a couple grapes... hehehe... They were real-life Plastics! As soon as the movie was over, the girls proceeded to have the following conversation. (I swear I am not exaggerating one bit!):

Girl 1: The movie was so good eh?
Girl 2: I know, those "Plastics" were so mean and bitchy! I hated them!
Girl 1: Yeah I know! Anyway, so eww, did you like, see Ryan's girlfriend?
Girl 2: Yes she was SO ugly! I wanted to laugh at her face!
Girl 1: I can't believe he's going out with her!
Girl 2: Totally! She's such a bitch and a half!
Girl 1: Ugh. Seriously!
Girl 2: Hey pass me a cigarette k?

I could not believe what I was hearing. Did they not realize that the irony of their conversation? Did they NOT just watch the same movie that I did? It's like watching Passion of the Christ and then wanna go paintballing... it's just wrong! My mouth was totally wide open. (I bet the girls' mouths were wide open too... but for an entirely different reason altogether...) ;)
