Dear Fellow Dark Shadows Fans,Thank the good Lord for the return of that paragon of moral rectitude, a man clearly in control of his carnal desires, the redoubtable Rev. Ian Trask!Why, you may ask, am I so delighted by the return of this kindly cleric? It's because the Sci-Fi Channel has unfortunately decided to air the Rafael Palmiero Viagra commercial during its broadcast of Dark Shadows.I must say, the reverend's devout great-daughter-in-law, Minerva Trask, would be appalled by this almost callous act of disrespect by the Sci-Fi Channel, made during the return from the great beyond of her illustrious ancestor, in his fight against the forces of devil himself.Hopefully, with the Rev. Trask's return, he will be able to stem the tide of the American public's obsessive preoccupation with prurient matters, which our British cousins across the pond politely refer to as "country matters."On anothe note, I was greatly moved by Sam Evans' heartfelt attempt to help Adam with his mastery of the English language. You know, I almost expected Adam's first complete sentence to be:"Willie baaaaaaaad..............Viagra........gooooood!"Sincerely,Bob the Bartender, a man, who, like a famous former US president has unfortunately, from time to time, "lusted in his heart."
Dear Jennifer,You know, Dom "Zim" Zimmer is a very nice man. He even was an "original Met" on my favorite baseball team. But, I'm sure remember you former Boston Red Sox pitcher Bill "Spaceman" Lee? Well, when the aptly nicknamed "Spaceman" Lee pitched for Red Sox manager Don Zimmer, the "Spaceman" rather hilariously, albeit unkindly, refered to Mr. Zimmer as "Porky Pig." I have to agree with you about Mr. Zimmer's unfortunate appearance in that hemmorroid commercial. It's as funny as Bob Dole and Rafael Palmiero's appearance (as paid spokesmen) for Viagra. What's next, the eminent Prof. T. Elliot Stokes pitching the effectiveness of the "Body Solutions" weight loss system?Sincerely,Bob the Bartender, who's on the "Sea Food Diet," I see "See Food and I Eat it."
How do we know that the good Rev. Trask (I don't mind calling him that either given the current state of the Roman Catholic Church) didn't see that particular commercial?
It would explain how that brick wall came a tumbling down.
