I had to pull my car over today so I could jam my finger down my throat as Iwas forced to listen once again to the adds for the new season of the hit show 24. I love 24 (see my profile) and I even managed to watch a few minutes of the premier Sunday night. But when has America called for acclaimed horror writer Steven King to weigh in on such things?
"Stephen King declares The New Season of 24 is So Good it's scary!" The add proclaims.
I wish I could have been in on the meeting that took place between King and his agent when they were concocting this scheme. "Look Steve, your career is winding down. We gotta branch out. Get some of those Madden dollars. Ebert is in the hospital, and besides he and Roepert give out Thumbs Up to everything now. You're a name brand. People will pay to see something you endorse. If only we had a good catch phrase..."
Ka-ching.
Up next: The Colonels Chicken, SO good it's scary.
