Look out Soccer Moms, here come the SAFs! SAF = "Single Anxious Female". Under 30, unmarried, uneducated, unaffluent, and "thoroughly pissed off at the direction of America". (Maybe because they spend too much time watching Grey's Anatomy and not enough time reading a textbook?)

Somehow I think these people are watching all of the "reality" TV shows rather than something with scripts and plotlines.

Egad, you're probably right.

 

(I saw an ad last night for a new reality show called something like "Pirates", in which the participants play members of a crew on a sailing vessal dressed as 19th century pirates!)
