Sex Party in Union Square; Shoes Optional

We're glad to see a return of Sex and the City to TV, for no other reason than it gives us an excuse to complain anew about the show, which focusses on the adventures of four wealthy, socially-successful women who have trouble finding mates because they're self-obsessed, irresponsible assholes. Narrated by a sex-advice columnist who has the sexual insight of a 14-year-old and can't go five minutes without VOing, "and that's when I realized," the show now appears on KRON-4 at 10 p.m., replacing the equally nuanced physical fitness program Fear Factor.

To get our juices flowing, KRON hosted a girly festival in Union Square on Sunday, complete with pink balloons, pink lemonade, pink tents, pink t-shirts, and a giveaway of 1,000 pairs of shoes. According to KRON, each pair of shoes was valued at $1,000 -- the idea that a person could wear a pair of $1,000 shoes without shame or self-loathing is only slightly more retarded than the idea that a million dollars was tossed out the window so that this sort of excess could go on.

KRON's requesting that attendees Flickr-tag their photos of the event with "kron4satc," which at the time of writing, many people have done, if by many you mean two.
