"What's your name? Where are you from? What do you like?" We've all heard it before, and the folks at Pink apparently think this sort of cookie-cutter gonzo-speak is enough to satisfy regular fans of the genre. To which we respond with another cliché: "If the series has done well for you ..." yadda yadda yadda. Or, "Viewers will salivate over the fresh meat ..." etc., etc., etc.

The fact is that Bubble Butts is unexceptional, overlong and sometimes yawn-inducing fare that has little going for it except its teen turnover appeal (especially Tia Sweets and Krystal). Nothing will be missed if it's watched with the sound turned down, and for all the HD hype on the box cover BB's videographer is just a guy without a light meter. However, the margin between buttered ass cheeks remains satisfyingly large (i.e. worth a half point).

Retailing: Up the big azz aisle it goes, or youth/new faces.
