If you see this book in the bookstore, look at the individual faces.
McCoy's face is hugely soft-filtered. Spock's is sharp. Kirk's face
has very obviously been grafted on. The picture is a complete fraud.

...and this is important for you??
The entire concept of Star Trek is a "complete fraud".

The news has been saturated with the Boston bombing, the Bangladesh
building collapse and the Cleveland kidnapper and other news pablum.

But now you've discovered something of importance!

Call the newspaper, the television station. W5! Frontline!

George it's not the 1990's, you can dispense with that phrase and find
a new cliche.

There's a gay ball player!!?

Oh! The irony!
...and the odd suggestiveness in your turn of phrase to describe the
individual.
