So Friday nites and the weekend have become catch-up time on our TV shows.  On this Valentine-Eve we first watched America’s Best Dance Crew and Lost.

FREAKY TANGENT: In the ep of Lost, there’s a lot of time travel going on temporal displacement – which basically means each time you travel through time, your body dies a little bit more, which on the show is shown by nose bleeds.  So after one of the time-warps a couple of the characters noses started bleeding… and then all of a sudden MY NOSE STARTED BLEEDING!!!  WTF!

Back to the nite.  So after those 2 shows, we started watching this weeks 30 Rock. By then it was already 1am an we were getting tired.

So 30 Rock has always had a ton of obvious product placement and I always kinda laughed at it… until this ep.  The sub-plot with Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) and Elisa (Salma Hayek) is revolved around the greatest dessert – which is a metaphore for their status’.  Jack is a capitalist rich white guy who thinks this $1K dessert at some fancy smancy place is the best around.  Elisa being a middle-lower class hardworking nurse says the McFlurry trumps all.

20 minutes later, I’m on my way to a 24/7 McDonalds in the neighboorhood getting a McFlurry for my wife and I to share <3.  It was sort of an early-valentine-impromptu-celebration (just like when we were kids).  And just like in the show, we had a great time sharing such a “cheap” non-fancy-smancy dessert.  BLAST YOU CAPITALISM AND 30 ROCK!… and thank you at the same time

Now go get a McFlurry! ]]> http://www.calebwhang.com/2009/02/14/happy-mcflurrytine/feed/ 137
