An honest employee

29 October 2007

I received an e-mail Friday from the Marketing Department of the newspaper where I work, asking me as a subscriber to fill out a survey about the quality of the print version of the RGJ. So I filled it out, including my pet peeves and whines. Question is, will anybody in Marketing note the return address of the e-mail, coming from in-house? Not a chance.

I raise my TV remote in salute of the genius of "South Park" and its "Imagination Land" saga. Even without the "Stargate" bit, it is a brilliant comment on the low status of entertainment and literature in the U.S. today. What I don't understand is including Wonder Woman on the ruling council of Imagination Land. Are they claiming Wonder Woman's not real? Jesus and Luke Skywalker I grant them, but Wonder Woman? Nnnooo!

(How is Nnnooo spelled in Stephen Colbert's scripts?)

I could do without the B plot about Cartman's obsession with making Kyle — or is it Stan? — lick his balls. Do 8-year-old even have balls? On second thought, don't answer that.
