Hey, this Bob Kally-ban kid. I think he's got a future in this voice over thing. Too bad the voice over thing doesn't have much of a future!

Rule number one in the voice-over announcer handbook:
suffer fools gladly.
Rule number two: never let them know that they are fools.
Rule number three: (immortalized as an acronym, the name of Bob's corporation) take your money and run. This is far from an example of the worst. He didn't even give you a line reading. The revelation to me was that if you make Cronkite folksy you get Brinkley. Botttom line, this is run of the mill Kaliban; i.e., brilliant.
