A Clearance on Bromance
After the near Bromansis, I came across this at the local library. Maybe Bromantic novels aren’t all that after all?

Wow, that was a close one, a real close one. As 2008 came to a close so could have many of Hawaii’s television channels. You see Viacom was in a tiff with Time Warner (Oceanic here in Hawaii) and was threatening to pull its television programming at the start of 2009.
That would have mean no Bromance! MTV would have been one of the affected stations, and all the Hawaii Bromantics would have been at a loss. Just think of all the Bromantic interludes we would have missed, all the Bromantic novels that could have been penned. Makes me shudder and thankful that the situation was mended and a Bromansis (Bromantic + crisis = Bromansis) was averted.
Just what is “bromance?” MTV defines it as “an intense brotherly bond that makes two buddies become virtually inseparable” and is the center of attention in the new television series aptly named Bromance.
In the show, a few bros perform tests and challenges to see if they can spark bromance with host, Brody Jenner. And just to set the record straight, the bros are straight (though if bromance required some man-loving, I guess the bros would need to be down with that).
