Some of you may be familiar with the NBC network's recent series of brain-dead
public service announcement. These are the ones where an ernest NBC sitcom or
drama series star looks directly into the camera and tells us that it would be a good
thing if we had dinner as a family once a week or other "duh" lame suggestions which
is followed by the NBC starburst logo along with a seven-note clarinet fanfare.
Tonite, as I was reloading some .45 ACP on my Dillon 550B I witness the apparent
premiere of the latest episode. Two "Third Rock From The Sun" stars (the Amazon
woman, Kirsten-something and the guy who used to have the shoulder-length hair) appear
on camera. The geek asks the Amazon, "In ten seconds...tell me why guns are good..."
The 6'2" Kirsten Amazon responds with her patented contorted horse-face look, unable
to say something like, "So that women of typical dimension can stop an assault..."
Nope. She couldn't muster that. Just more horsehead.
Clarinet riff followed by NBC logo.
Does anyone have contact info for NBC? We need to spread this around. Contact info
for the two actors would be handy as well.
