**Ashton Kutcher** is the man behind Katalyst Media, and Blah Girls is the first of their many web projects. **Blah Girls** runs on a [common blog platform](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blogstaticio), WordPress, and is an [animated character gossip show](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animate-ai2) meant to provide a teen twist on pop culture.

Keeping the overhead down by having cartoons get all the face time is pretty ingenious. New videos will be added twice a week, hardly enough to keep an audience engaged, but it’s a start. There are interactive features too, and a [photo blog](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bluesky-flashes) that grabs whatever is hot and adds one of the cartoon characters to the scene.
