Flunky: Look, Boss I'm just not sure about this latest article.OK not really heard at the offices of the Center for Consumer Freedom. I made that part up. But the rest of it is true.
Boss: What, that hollywood piece? It's boffo.
Flunky: Well it's gratifying, but what's our point? I mean do we list all these hollywood people and point out how according to Government Regulations they are all overweight.
Boss: So. Gives a visual representation of how over regulated we are, and how detatched from the real world Government pencil pushers are?
Flunky: Yeah Boss, but we don't like Hollywood either.
Buss: (eating Danish) What's that?
Flunky: Our fans don't like Hollywood either.
Boss: So?
Flunky: Well this is going to make them look good, isn't it? Sort of pointing out their healthfulness.
Boss: So we make a lot of jokes about how big hollywood types are all fatsos. I thought I had a few jokes like that in there anyway. Something about Conan the Obese?
Flunky: Yeah, I noticed that. You know he's a republican, right?
Boss: Yeah but Conan was a piece of crap, so I figure it's ok.
Flunky: Anyway I'm just saying our message might be a little confused. Are we angry at the regulators or Hollywood.
Boss: Look, nobody will notice, so who gives a damn? Just run it and let's go have lunch.
