How to make it on HBO

How to Make it in America is an HBO series much like a grittier version of Entourage. Though no surprise as Mark Wahlberg is also an executive producer. The show is pretty decent. Two guys trying to “make it” in America. There is a an undercurrent of skateboarding in the series. Skaters are often seen as extras, including in the opening. The main characters have a room full of skateboard models for a local hero who has gone awol from public life. Right. There’s a lengthy video extra about skating in New York. Hey NYC readers, according to this month’s Thrasher, there are some billboards with skateboarding in town for an investment bank or something. I need a photo or two.

  1. Make what?

  2. “it”

    As in the Simpsons episode. Principal Skinner was in the closet with Ms Crabbapple and they were making babies and I saw one of the babies and it looked at me.

    They were doing it, it! IT!
