I watch a lot of what goes on during television shows, and am often amazed/horrified at how seriously we take such silly and inane things. But when viewed through the lens of Slaughterhouse 90210, everything starts to make a bit more sense.
Taking frames from popular television, from Jersey Shore to Fox News, and pairing them with a literary quote, the blog creates an effect that is quite unlike anything else. It often captures the bigger picture—the larger absurdity of what is going on. Anyway, go check out Slaughterhouse 90210.
