The Billiken's Bluff

I’ve started watching the First Season of Nip Tuck on DVD. The critically acclaimed FX show now has the much sought after Billiken's Bluff Three Thumbs Up!!! If you haven't seen this plastic surgery drama you are probably wondering just how many storylines they can create that revolve around facelifts, ass implants and botox injections. Well as it turns out, quite a few. The show has a way of making outlandish plots appear plausible. For example, the series premiere included such gems as one of the surgeons blowing lines of coke off a stripper’s ass. A penis-paralyzing botox injection administered during an interrogation. A Columbian drug dealer undergoing a facial reconstruction to look a bit less conspicuous after molesting the boss’s 6-year old daughter. And finally, the two surgeons tying ham steaks to a dead body and dumping it into the Florida Everglades (to sleep with the alligators!).

My only issue with the show is that the son is played by this Michael Jackson look-a-like.



I don’t like looking at him, or him. The only reason I can think of that they casted this kid in Nip Tuck is to give a nod to the King of Pop & Plastic Surgery himself, Michael Jackson.
