Synopsis:  (From Amazon.Com) Drawn Together is back for an outrageous second season. This time around we answer almost all of the unanswered questions left by season one; like what happens when an Asian battle monster tries to drive a car, can animation and live action co-exist peacefully and whats that smell in Captain Heros closet?. Remember, this is the incredible true story of eight cartoons from all walks of life who have to deal with each others quirks, differences and insane necrophilia fantasies. From Clara, the racist fairy tale princess, to Foxxy Love, the sassy, sexy musician to Woldoor Sockbat the... whatever he is, these housemates fast learn the art of loving, punching and coming dangerously close to copyright infringement. So sit back, grab some snacks, maybe some tissues (you know why) and let Drawn Together soothe whats left of your souls.

REVIEW:  Picking up where season one left off, the house mates crash on a seemingly deserted island, but its not a plot line they keep up with for long and its back to the states to search for money, glory, and booty.

Watching the first season youd think they really couldnt get much nastier or crude, but us Americans (using Korean Animators) have never been one to shy away from the challenge of becoming cruder or nastierchant it with people: USA! USA! USA! USA! 

The cast and plot lines can take you anywhere from taking steroids to win the Aids Walk, or role playing what it would be like to come out of the closet to your parents, or the healing power of a Sockbat  jizz (Clum baby).  While loyalties shift just about as much as any given characters sexual preferences they are pretty much in it for themselves and their own pleasures giving way to some of the more ruthless and cutthroat stories. These guys would steal a piece of ass from you with about as much conscience as theyd steal a penny from ya.again USA! USA! USA! USA!

During this season they even take a poke at Entertainment Weekly for a rotten review they were given during season one (cant confirm of deny itand who really cares). The gang decides to go after the critic personally, which is something any trash talking critic fears.though I dont lose any sleep at night for knocking the crap out of The Wicker Man remake I do on the other hand have nightmares where I find myself directing Nic Cage in the sequel (Wicker Man Two: Fuck Bees)then I wake up and find Im still stuck in my crap ass dead end job and thank the gods. 

All in all as a rabid HATER of reality TV in general I enjoy it anytime a writer takes a pop shot at one of those soulless TV ventures, sorry people but someone has to say it.if you watch more than one reality show a weekyouve got no soulwhich reminds me oddly of the joke about the dyslexic satanic worshiper who sold his soul to Santaok now Im more off track than a joke on Family Guy. 

As a fun gift idea: If you have a friend or loved one thats a fan of Big Brotherbuy them Drawn Together.  Its a twofer; you get to make fun of them AND introduce them to something fun.
