...surface, the plan seems to have trivial implications. Litvak admits that there's a great deal of ego involved--a team's pride in being a part of the top college football division. Yet he calls the restructuring plan "stupid and offensive," explaining it implies that a commitment to college football means you have a big stadium and high attendance. "The plan does not ask for a measurement of commitment, it asks, does the market accept your product?" he explains...
...wanted it to be good. Gilligan's Island was the archetypal stupid situation comedy, but think of all the hours we spent with it. How many of you sharpened your critical faculties arguing about why those rich Howells would take all their money and most of their wardrobes on a three-hour cruise, or what they were even doing on that dinky boat in the first place, if they're so rich and probably have a yacht?

But to capture the cyclamen-colored Mauritian pink pigeon, all the rescuers risked was a fall from a tree. The birds proved so suicidally stupid that they merely watched, heads cocked with curiosity, as a Mauritian soldier the size of a middle linebacker climbed up a tree with all the agility of an elephant and snagged one in a net. Not all endangered species, it appears, play hard...
