Because we've had enough: free Derek from Meredith!!

Do you feel like throwing something at your TV everytime the umpteenth Meredith (see definition)/Derek (see definition) scene is shoved down your throat on Grey's Anatomy? Do you think TV magazines and web sites should have anything, including quantum physics comments, replace useless pages about Meredith and Derek? Do you think there's no way a sexy, gorgeous, intelligent, successful man like Derek Shepherd would put up with a sad excuse for a woman who can do nothing but whine, who brings dolls to work, and who lives in a frathouse for more than - uhm, let me think - five seconds?

Do you suddenly feel the need to put on insect repellant everytime you watch Grey's Anatomy and see Meredith get close to Derek? Do you think she's as annoying as the bugs that bite you every morning in the Caribbean summer? Do you actually love men who are men and not dolls made up by the sick fantasy of someone who's never seen a real one? So based on the previous, do you embrace every fault Derek has and think he's still way too perfect to be a man? (and sometimes even way too sappy, let's face it). Do you think Derek would be much better off hitting town with Mark (see definition) instead of wasting his precious existence with Meredith? Do you think Prince Charming belongs with Cinderella, Snowwhite and Sleeping Beauty, and certainly not with a medical drama, least of all with Meredith "I whine and everything is about me" Grey?

But most of all.. have you had enough of shippers (see definition below) in every way, shape and form? And particularly of those who claim their couple is the best evah and they will kill themselves if the couple ever breaks up? Have you had enough of those shippers who say they make up the core audience of a show and claim what they want is what everyone wants? So ok, all of them do it, but the MERDER (so they call themselves) ones are by far the worst in this compartment. Or maybe it's me, all shippers are bad, but I have an allergy to this specific lot.

In a nutshell, do you want to free Derek from Meredith and ourselves from their shippers? Then this is the place for you. A place to vent and to laugh about the pathetic, annoying, sappy, unreal, ridiculous business Meredith and Derek have become. Join in and vent and laugh with us!



Definitions

Shippers: TV fans who are obsessed with a couple on a show. Many fancy themselves in love with either or both members of a couple, often delusional about actually being the girlfriend/boyfriend of the fictional character. In the worst shippermania cases, they believe said characters are actual people and talk about them as such, often thinking the actor (real person) interpreting the character is the same thing as the character (fictional person).

Meredith: woman (fictional character) who thinks that a difficult childhood gives her a free pass to whine for the rest of her life. Can't go grocery shopping, let alone fry an egg. She can't even order out. All she can do outside an operating room? Whine. She kicks ass at that. Oh, and at getting laid. (I said getting laid, not having relationships).

Derek: 40-year-old brilliant neuro-surgeon who is sexy as all hell, and is a God between the sheets and not just in the operating room. There's a reason why he's called McDreamy. The man you'd kill to meet in real life. Except he is of course a fictional character stuck in a relationship with the above woman.

Mark: McSteamy. Nuff said.

George: 30something whiny doctor with horrible haircuts who would be the actual Meredith boyfriend in any realistic circumstance. Oh wait, I haven't mentioned him yet.
