If you are a superhero who can FLY, and you are in a giant cathedral while federal agents are searching the pews for you, what do you do?  Bear in mind that you can FLY.

A) You hide in the rafters.
B) You fly to the ceiling and crash out through a window.
C) You fly up, land behind the agents, walk out the damn door, and then fly off again.
D) You hide in a goddamned motherfucking confession booth from which there is no escape, hoping maybe that the person who discovers you has his own agenda and lets you go, which let's face it, would be luck of the dumbest kind.

If you chose D), you are Peter Petrelli, the stupidest character in prime time.

I say that not because it's hard to follow; I say it because I can't imagine who would want to.  The main character is a cipher, and everybody else is unlikeable.  Joss Whedon, who used to be able to create loveable characters in his sleep, has apparently forgotten this very important skill.  I hate everybody on this show.  The "Dollhouse" of the title is apparently a criminal organization that, among other things, rents its "actives" out as custom-made prostitutes.  The FBI agent trying to track the Dollhouse comes off as a humorless prick.  The person who runs the Dollhouse is a humorless bitch.  The nerd who wipes and installs new memories into the "actives" is a smug, despicable douche.

I hate this show and can't wait until it's done polluting the airwaves so that Whedon can turn his attention to a product that deserves to be given a shit about.

Show us a co-worker who makes you laugh.

Here's three:

Here's a clip of their shenanigans:
