starsAmy Poehler Proves Smart Girls Have More Fun

Just when you thought the internet couldn't get any better, Amy Poehler and some of her talented friends have rolled out "Smart Girls at the Party" over at ON Networks.  In this new online series, the former 'SNL' cast member/comedy goddess sits down with creative young girls and interviews them about their lives and their passions.

As the father of a little girl, I am just excited to see that there are people like Poehler out there who are celebrating girls as "extraordinary individuals who are changing the world by being themselves."

I love, love, love that this series embraces girls' -- not to mention Poehler and her costars' -- brains, wit, weirdness, and independence.  Take that Hannah Montana and Jamie Lynn!

I guess Tina Fey was wrong: Smart is actually the new black.

IRONY ALERT: Sixteen years ago, Teen Talk Barbie enraged consumers with her declaration that "Math class is tough!" and asked the eternal question of "Will we ever have enough clothes?"  Today, the series is sponsored by Mattel's Barbie.  My, how things have changed.
