I just read the link that Mr. Rection provided, i.e., the link to The Onion article. I am still cracking up. I highly recommend it and "thank Hugh very much!"

Well, the episode with Weiner's Circle was the last one of the season, so I guess you stopped at the right time. And not that I thought the series lit the world on fire or anything, but I didn't think the Weiner's Circle piece made me feel bad about enjoying hot dogs (the visit to the pork farm did that) but did make me bad (i.e.- Worse) about how those workers get treated by the fratastic clientele.

My favorite TAL was when the guest talks about how his Master's in semiotics helped him befriend a minority from the inner city.

I have a dream. That one day, men like Ira Glass will come out the closet and join folks like Dan Savage in using his voice to eliminate the scourge of homophobia!

@UTV Ayyyyyyy....men. I think the Onion summarized my feelings better than I ever could.

I stopped watching his show when they did the "expose" on the Weiners Circle. I could feel Ira Glass telepathically chiding me for enjoying their hot dogs. How dare I?
