Daily Affirmation

Reader Rick remains vigilant on the Al Franken watch and he writes in with this revelation from his continuing investigation:

After some research, it is clear that the newly titled "Al Franken Show" is yet another derivative of someone else's creative work. The new Al Franken Show is clearly a rip-off of the Weird Al Show from 1997, which is described thusly:

"The basic plot of this show was that Weird Al was coming to you from a split-level cave twenty miles below the surface of the earth, along with his pet, Harvey The Wonder Hamster. Each show would have a rather loose plot around which strange and weird things would happen."


Underground, loose plot, strange and weird things happening? The parallels are striking. And can anyone seriously deny that the role played by Catherine Lanpher is modeled upon Harvey The Wonder Hamster?
