Baldwin/Fey All the Way!—10:07 AM
In a desperate attempt to retain viewers, NBC Universal has launched an "Emmy campaign" in which people can go online to order free buttons to support their favorite shows in the upcoming Emmys, pretending that actual people vote for Emmys rather than the cabal of subterranean plutocrats who really run this country.
The Nominate '08 site allows you to choose which buttons you receive, but I only chose The Office and 30 Rock (I didn't even see the one for Life) and I received all the buttons in the mail. I suppose it's less expensive to simply prepackage the whole set and ship it to everyone – the order form is just a quick way for NBC to gauge which shows have the most fan support.
Fine by me. I'll happily show my support for House and Conan. But what am I supposed to do with these three pieces of shit?

Could you change the Vo in "Vote" to Ha? If so, problem solved.

Dammit – I already changed "vote Leno" to "vote for Leno's public flogging and ritual decapitation." Your idea would have been much easier to fit on the button.

And what the hell does that mean, "Those who know vote Leno"? Those who know what? NBC can't possibly argue "those with discriminating taste in comedy" with a straight face, seeing as how they're firing Leno's untalented ass next year. That button only makes sense in the context of "Okay people, which NBC property do we jettison off this sinking ship first?"

Hey, look at that! My "Baldwin/Fey – All the Way!" button really did its job. Yay!
