I love MSTie wit.

Excerpt from a post today in rec.arts.tv.mst3k.misc:

Listening to the news on NPR is a treat, because the news anchors never seem too fazed by whatever tragedy they're discussing. Whatever the news item is, it's read in that calmly reassuring "golf announcer" voice that I love. If the destruction of the world were ever imminent, I'd want to hear about it on NPR. "You're listening to All Things Considered on listener-supported National Public Radio. The nuclear holocaust is about... oh, twenty minutes away, I'd say. Should any of you listeners surive, be sure to tune in for our in-depth discussion with Andreas Vollenwinder tonight at seven. We'll be discussing what possible effects the total cessation of life on Earth will have on the arts community."

Yeah, but the problem is that you'd be just as likely to hear, "You're listening to All Things Considered on listener-supported National Public Radio. The nuclear holocaust is about... oh, twenty minutes away, I'd say. That means you have just enough time to call in your final pledge for our Spring fundraising drive. Remember, this is your last chance, not only to help us meet our hourly matching gift goal of $5,000, but to contribute to our wonderful programming before you die. With your pledge of $50 or more you'll also get free iodine pills to help you get over the radiation poisoning and an "All Things Considered" baseball cap to wear while your hair grows in..."
