A new, tamer (well, edited) version of Sex and the City is coming to TBS. And who does the NYT turn to as its man on the street? Who would know more about sex and the city than anyone else? None other than a Stuyvesant freshman:
"Nelly Mecklenburg, a 14-year-old freshman at Stuyvesant High School in Manhattan, said she could not believe it when she heard that 'Sex and the City,' one of her favorite shows, was moving to TBS. 'The idea was ridiculous and completely inappropriate,' she said. 'Then I heard it was going to be edited and figured that was even worse; it would be terrible.'
But when Ms. Mecklenburg saw advance tapes of several edited episodes, she was pleasantly surprised. 'I was very impressed,' she said. 'You couldn't tell when they edited certain words, and it actually still seemed like the same show.'
Still, she said, people who see only the cleaned-up versions will be missing something.
'HBO makes it special, because the show can be raunchy,' she said. "The language and sex aren't the most important part, but they add to it.'"
(Shouldn't she be doing bio homework or something?)
