We’re eight episodes in and it’s becoming clear that The Secret Circle is not so much about magic itself, but rather what magic attracts. In the case of this circle, it’s MIND-NUMBING HORROR. Whether it’s dealing with teens in pig masks toting chloroform hankies or demonic slugs crawling in your orifices, it’s starting to look like being a witch isn’t exactly the hottest scenario.

And if some wacko nutjob is going to threaten to de-tongue one of our homegrown heroes, then by golly we’re going to milk it for some cheap laughs! Days after a messageboard user on a Web site allegedly popular with Islamic radicals threatened to cut out the tongue of Late Show With David Letterman ‘s David Letterman , the talk-show host addressed the situation the only way he knows how: with a Top Ten list!…
