On the Subject of Janeane Garofalo

So 24 season one thousand or whatever has started, and even though it hasn't had that many thoroughly good seasons it's usually a reasonable way to pass the time. But one question must be on the lips of anyone who has been watching this year:

What the fuck has happened to Janeane Garofalo's face?

Janeane from the good old days. Lest we forget.

Used to be she was a worthy piece of totty, albeit one claimed by chin-stroking comedy pundits as some sort of thinking man's pinup. Even though she generally peddles a cheap, Americanised, smug sarcasm and despite flirting with a slightly adolescent, wacky, sub-goth style she has a somewhat adorable, cuddly quality. Or at least she used to, before she went on The Steve Jobs Diet.

Janeane: the 2009 edition. WTF?

That, and she looks like she's been hit repeatedly in the face with a brick.

I was sitting here, idly watching when I saw some random supporting actress and thought to myself "She looks like an ugly version of Janeane Garofalo. Like Janeane Garofalo would look if she'd been held hostage for several years, and then dressed to look like the predictable odd-ball computer geek to replace Chloe".

Oh, and Tony Almeida now sounds EXACTLY like Roger Crowley, "the wickedest man in the world" off of seminal 90's genius comedy "This morning with Richard not Judy".
