Post by: Moloch on September 04, 2002, 03:30:58 PM: The Iraqi Ambassador to the UN has just finished giving a speech, and walks out into the lobby where he meets President Bush. They shake hands and as they walk the Iraqi says, "You know, I have just one question about what I have seen in America."

President Bush says "Well, your Excellency, anything I can do to help you, I will do."

The Iraqi whispers, "My son watches this show 'StarTrek' and in it there are Russians and Blacks and Whites and Asians and Jews, but never any Iraqis. He is very upset. He doesn't understand why there are never any Iraqis in 'Star Trek.'"

President Bush chuckles and leans toward the Iraqi, and whispers back, "It's because it takes place in the future."

Figure what out? the dumb joke, or the genocide implications?
Iraquis will be here maybe longer than us. They have been described as roaches.

Hey Animal, don't worry. There may not be any Iraquis in Star Trek episodes, but the only blacks are killed off before the first commercial break- unless they're disabled and somewhat meek (like Gordy) so the white audience can accept them without being intimidated by virile black males.

Guess you never watched Deep Space Nine?

Anyone remember the episode where Kirk kisses Uhura? Roddenberry was a staunch lefty lib and tried to stretch the boundaries whenever possible. That was the first interacial kiss in network history.

Anyone else enjoy the "Ms. Swan" character? IMHO this is one of the funniest things on TV today.

I bet it wasn't Shatner's :) If it moved, he grooved -- black, green, light blue.... The stories are that he would enter the dressing room of whomever the current episode's eye candy happened to be and rather agressively attempt a "docking manuver." Being the 60s, he completed his manuver many times apparently.

Post by: Elfenwolf on September 05, 2002, 09:56:21 AM: William Shatner is a great musician and his cover of "Rocket Man" is the greatest Rock and Roll cover of all time...not to mention his Priceline commercials.

I don't know Elfenwolf, Nimoy's "proud Mary" is up there.

That is the funniest thing I've read/heard today. Yesterday's winner was the Amazon.Com review of the Harry Potter vibrating broomstick.

I wish he'd open up an over-acting school, to cap his many accomplishments.

As Sulu?

As Uhura?

As Spock?

Aww...you get the idea!
