3 points for the awesome Leslie Nielsen reference.

3 points for 3 minutes of laughter...

i guess the view is great start to finish every day if youre into that

Well, you'd be surprised how poorly most people fit into a given stereotype. For example, I am a Christian, NEVER watch Fox News (except for the highlights on the Daily Show), and am for the most part pro-choice. Go figure.
