this is just wrong what these production companies are doing to integrate product.  what a creative killer!!!! FUCK YOU CORPORATE CUNTS!

nice speech!

And Mr. Rosenthal is right. This is the not the 1950's where a TV series is brought to you by one product. With more than one commerical now on TV, there should not be any corporate pressure or self-advertising if the producers do not want that.

@BonehoChane Phil is a great writer and funny man. I was a fan of ELR. Classic flashback to All In The Family and The Honeymooners. And I must say it is nice to hear Congress laughing for a change.

P.S.: Not to take away from Rosenthal's talent -- he's a genius. Plus, even *without* the Oreos, who'd be watching "Seventh Heaven" anyways? The question answers itself.

So says the guy who placed "Flutie Flakes" on top of the Barone's refrigerator.

That's great! Sad but true!!

After hearing this - I finally understand what the screaming is all about!! I am now a supporter and now know why!

[BonehoChane]

That was great. He's halarious. Shows off why he's a major reason ELR was so funny.
