<p>Is Bravo's new show, , about a gaggle of vile, murder-worthy teens so poorly received that they have to resort to spamming a site like SFist? Seems so.  See, yesterday on SFist, the following comment popped up on a week-old post about a missive the perturbed chancellor of Dwight School in New York City sent to parents and alumnae concerning said reality show ("<a href="http://sfist.com/2009/06/24/headmaster_at_nyc_prep_livid_about.php">Chancellor at <i>NYC Prep</i> School Livid About Bravo Reality Show</a>").  </p>

<p>Commenter / likely Bravo PR flack <a href="http://sfist.com/profile/icantstopwatching">icantstopwatching</a> writes:</p>

<blockquote>It's an enjoyable show if you don't take it seriously -- admittedly, hard to do if you belong to the world it depicts. There's a lot of fun <i>NYC Prep</i> content at BravoTV.com. For instance, there's a fun quiz to see whether you could survive in the Darwinian private-school world of <i>NYC Prep</i>:<br>[<em>url redacted</em>]

<p>If you're still having trouble telling these teens apart, check out the <i>NYC Prep 101</i> photo gallery<br>

<p>Like P.C.'s style? Here's a gallery of his best looks<br>

<p>And here's P.C.'s therapy session (a video preview from tonight's ep.)<br>

<p>Wait, who on earth is P.C.? Because we know of <a href="http://www.lauren-conrad.net/">L.C.</a>  We like L.C. And, P.C., you're no L.C.</p>

<p>Anyway.</p>

<p>Bravo, you're a network littered with nothing but gay men. You really should know better than to post bad fangirl comments on SFist or any other site. Sheesh.</p><i><a href="http://sfist.com/2009/06/24/headmaster_at_nyc_prep_livid_about.php">NYC Prep</a></i>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
