what is the power object?


Holy crap. The Power Object is a crazy-ass web series by writer/producer Claire Dee-Lim, adapted from her R-rated screenplay of the same name. She and her co-creators Mike Werb and Michael Colleary are the screenwriters behind the family flick Firehouse Dog... but this is a huge departure from that movie. This one's definitely not for the kids.

The Power Object is described as Sex and the City colliding with Team America. The raunchy 9-episode comedy series follows the adventures of three young San Francisco women -- played by dolls -- who turn their loser lives around with the help of a magic vibrator -- the Power Object! Here's the first episode:



It's kind of trippy, and sometimes straight up foul. One of the characters is named Hannah Wang, and she's supposedly based on the likeness of Lucy Liu. I don't think this is for me, but you might like it. For more information about the series, and to see more episodes, go to The Power Object website here.
