Michael Scott: Oh, and another fun thing. We, at the end of the night, are going to give the check to an actual group of Boy Scouts. Right, Toby? We're gonna...
Toby: Actually, I didn't think it was appropriate to invite children since it's, uh, you know, there's gambling and alcohol. And it's in our dangerous warehouse. And it's a school night. And, you know, Hooters is catering. Is that enou-is that enough? Should I keep going?
Michael Scott: Why are you the way that you are? Honestly, every time I try to do something fun or exciting, you make it not... that way. I hate... so much about the things that you choose to be.

Unwatchable - NBC's Shame

In case you were wondering why nobody outside Hollyweird watches the Emmys nowadays, that's why.

How did this unwatchable attempt at a television show get voted as "Best Comedy"? All it induces is nausea with its utterly unprofessional camera-work.

Actually I know how it got an Emmy: NBC saw that Fox spent millions on the equally unwatchable Arrested Development and in spite of the fact that AD was canceled the next season, they thought it would be a good investment to get people to watch the "masterpiece".

Well, I've got a clue for you NBC: Stop reading and believing your own press.

Not only is The Office not funny, it is nausea inducing and completely unprofessional. The producers of the show have pulled a fast one on you and you are destroying what is left of your once powerful Thursday lineup by keeping this awful mess on the air.

The Office is NBC's shame!
