Grood.com

I have to admit, every time I visited Grood I got a little freaked out. We had an ad for the upcoming TV show Kyle XY and ‘Kyle’ creeped me out. I think it had something to do with the fact that he kind of looks like a baby. Am I the only one?

When you click this link, you’re taken to a pic of Kyle holding up his shirt exposing his abs just like a classic MySpace photo (subliminal influence anyone?). And it’s not just that; what’s even more disturbing is Kyle’s lack of a bellybutton. I mean, if I didn’t have a bellybutton the last thing I’d be doing is showing off my abs, even if they were of washboard status.

Plus, as a co-founder of Grood, not only did I see him everytime I loaded the site, but there’s also a fairly impressive marketing campaign for the show in southern California. Kyle and his non-bellybutton can also be spotted in local malls and on a giant billboard across from WB Studios. Good job ABC Family. Who knew you had all that money?

However, with all that said, I’m going to go ahead and TiVo this thing. It looks like a cross between Smallville and The 4400. If you’re into that sort of thing.
