When Ashton Kutcher launched his animated show Blah Girls at TechCrunch50 earlier this year, he ran into MySpace CEO Chris DeWolfe in the hallways. DeWolfe expressed interest in the show. Fast forward two months, and Blah Girls now has a distribution deal with MySpaceTV, which had 51 million unique video streams in August (Comscore).
The show features the adventures of three gossip queen teenagers – Tiffany, Britney and Krystle. They talk about pop culture issues of the day in episodes ranging from 45 seconds to two minutes. Season One is now up on MySpaceTV.
Kutcher talked about syndicating the show to a cable television network at TechCrunch50. We assume those negotiations are still up in the air.
blah..
Did anyone ever believe BG’s would be a stand alone destination website? this is a prime example of a “startin”. who needs another website when you can “startin” with an established playa.

BlahGirls certainly targets the MySpace demographic – I think this will be a nice pairing.
Nice job Mike! Decent series, but it needed a distro partner. Looks like they are not doing an exclusive window for new episodes though, which is sometimes how they like to roll it over at MySpace.
they were my pick to win techcrunch50
but that would be too obvious
instead let a paypal mafia guy won
so not obvious ehhhh
ummm…. the fact that there’s a market for this…. it makes me cry a little.

Luckily, according to Alexa, there isn’t.
Well, that’s a well reasoned and insightful comment. Why do you say that?
I see BG as similar to South Park, but with a focus closer to TMZ. This makes me uninterested, but they have a different target market in mind (you aren’t part of it either).
From what I’ve seen, it isn’t ‘edgey’ enuf or long enuf for me to seek it out and I rarely refresh my entertainment RSS feeds.
Still, you all are on some pretty high horses there; how is the view?
@roy i feel your pain
Wow.
Maybe they should hire writers. That is 3 minutes I will never get back.
BlahStupid.

It was so sweet of Ashton to come up with the Blah Girls. Blah Girls have come a long way. Their are more fans all the time. I absolutley love the video’s and find myself very amazed with what they come up with. The Graphics are awesome and the video’s are just hilarious. I think he even designed that website hiself. It’s very pretty and looks very professional. He has done a lot of updates on that site and I love them. With all the new coolness to the site I can tell he has really put a lot of work into the site. He is a very smart and talented man to do that and be able to do all that stuff he does with blah girls. I am very proud of him. I if you are someone who has not checked it out yet I really recamend checking it out. It’s awesome!
