Just try and be friends with THAT

OK, so I just saw "Just Friends" and I'm a little ryanreynoldscrayzay. But anyhoo, the movie and a previous comment/link by JeN got me thinking about the "friends zone". I know Harry & Sally covered the whole "men and women can't be just friends, blah blah BLAH" and I don't feel like pulling a VH1 trip back to the early 90s. But it does make me wonder: are there guys, and girls, who have been perpetually doomed to the "friends zone" for life, in every single co-ed situation? I mean, I've been in ridiculous melt-down crushes before but the obstacle wasn't friendship. It was more like, oh yeah, you're dating my best friend. Or oh yeah, if we fucked you'd get 5-to-10 for statutory rape. Or oh yeah, you're the president of the company and I'm your (naughty) secretary. If friendship was the only thing standing in the way, hell, a little Jager, a can of Ready-Whip and a "oops, I'm too drunk to drive home!" would take care of that right quick. So c'mon people, step up to the plate and tell me what's UP.
