When the question of maturity in a relationship turns out to have too many layers, Charlie learns to walk away despite being intrigued by ShaunaShower.com. However, it’s definitely not a case of puppy love for Charlie and real life visitors alike.
Show & Episode:
Two and a Half Men – Twanging Your Magic Clanger (S08E06)
How is ShaunaShower.com used?
When Charlie discovers his date Michelle is four years older than him, he’s originally freaked out and unsure of seeing her again. After a talk with his brother Alan convinces him to focus on her other qualities, he goes to her home to let her that it’s not a problem. But when their evening is interrupted by Michelle’s 20-yr old daughter Shauna, Charlie’s discomfort comes back with a vengeance as the mother and daughter argue and Shauna shares details about her bisexuality, threesomes, and her need for money brought about by the impact of free porn on her webcam job.
Michelle reassures Shauna that she’s always be there no matter what, and Charlie uses the reconciliation to beat a quick retreat from the situation and his growing perverse attraction to them both. Telling himself that it’s wrong as he leaves, he still can’t resist trying to find the webcam site using ShaunaShower.com.
Would ShaunaSink be more or less disturbing?
Breakdown:
The Domain
Where most shows register domains used in a episode at the beginning of its production cycle 3-4 months before the air date, the WHOIS results for ShaunaShower.com shows it was registered a scant month before the episode aired, similar to what was done for CharlieHarperSucks.com years prior.
The website that the domain was registered to doesn’t appear in the episode, the audience is shown the back of the Charlie’s smart phone as he enters in the web address. But the producers set up a nice Easter egg for the domain. If you go to ShaunaShower.com, you are redirected to a simple page set up on the official Warner Bros. site specifically for Two and a half Men that says exactly what the writers think of you.
This site shouldn’t be confused with the official show page on CBS, or the promotional page for the show DVDs set up on the WB network site that CharlieHarperSucks.com currently redirects to. In fact, if the producers stay true to form, they’ll probably redirect the domain to the DVD page in a couple of years as well. Which is understandable, even if it does get rid of a nice gag.
I won’t further ruin the surprise with a screenshot or full description, just go visit. It’ll be quick and worth your time.
