She peeled away (NSFW)

Maybe it was V, or maybe something clicked when Travolta and Cage did Face/Off, but at some point some people became fixated on women shedding their skin (horrible site design warning) to reveal other women, aliens/monsters, men, robots, or sometimes just to create masks, suits or shells (mostly NSFW, all creepy as hell).
Some people? Or just one guy?
One really, really creepy guy. That lives in a van. Parked on your street. And he's looking at you right now.

I guess there are worse fetishes to get from watching V. Like women swallowing guinea pigs, or Marc Singer.

People became fixated? I'm people. I'm not fixated.
Unless there is a Darth Vader/StormTrooper outfit to be had. For some reason that whole thing started when I was little watching Star Wars and used to brag to my parents that one day I would marry Darth Vader.
We all have our "thing". Mine just is probably weirder than this post.

I mean, re-making something from the 80s that we all have pleasant memories of, but to be honest, always had some flaws? And then tacking on some bizarre anti-Obama hidden message for the "24" crowd? In the absolute creative wasteland that is today's network TV?
What could *possibly* go wrong?

Man, that hidden message is so cleverly hidden, too. I had no idea that the aliens peddling universal healthcare to the masses and "peace, always" were supposed to represent liberals! Who would have thought!
Also, I love that the pinnacle of alien technology is a camera taped to a jacket.

"Getting in a tizzy" all over a cop's uniform is probably assault. Or twenty bucks, same as in town.
