Did anyone else catch last night's episdoe of Saturday Night Live? Towards the
end of the show, there was a sketch with Maya Rudolph as the owner of a shop
that sold Halloween costumes that weren't scary. Things like Big oversized
Sunglasses & carrot and hot dog suits (like fast food shops use to do
advertising). I like Maya, so I thought it was funny, although the way I've
just written it, I can see how it sounds boring. Anyway, after showing the
things she sold, she showed pictures of costumes that weren't available at her
shop and the second picture she showed was a group of Cybermen from "The
Moonbase" which she labled "Freakazoids", although Cybermen look nothing like
that cartoon. Anyway, didn't know if you saw it, so I thought I'd post this.

I actually stopped by the group to post about this subject. I thought
the skit was okay, but the only really big laugh was the part when she
changed her mind about selling the hotdog costume because in the picture
they flashed the man was eating an actual hotdog and that creeped her
out because it was cannibalism.

I saw the sketch last night and found myself nicely surprised. This picture
seems to making the rounds in my tv viewing lately. Here in Massachusetts one
of the politicians by the name of Barney Frank is running an ad and it has the
same Cybermen.

Now I shall go back to lurking. =)

Who was the host? I'll have to keep an eye out when they repeat it.

I missed it. I was flicking around last night, including SNL, before watching
"Parallel Universe" on the RD2 DVD. Someone on the SNL writing staff knows of
DW.
