FTVCL -- CREATOR OF "MOB DOCTOR" REVEALS FUTURE OF FRANCHISE; UNFORTUNATE SPOILERS ALERT!

Praying the show ends quick.  Amen.
(by Burke)

Fall brings with it some of my favorite things; football, Halloween and Mitt Romney saying stupid things out loud. This fall also bring us the new series Mob Doctor. The bombardment of Mob Doctor promos shown during a long day of football left me no choice but to drink pretty heavily. This is either the interview I had with the creator of Mob Doctor (Let’s call him Ketel One and soda.) or a dream/nightmare I had later that night.
Me -- Ketel, thanks for giving us some time. Let’s jump right into your new show, Mob Doctor. What made you think a show about a doctor who killed people for the mob would be interesting?
Ketel -- Thanks, I’m glad you loved it.
Me -- Well, I haven’t seen it yet. But I have seen the commercials. They’re, um… 
Ketel -- Exactly! See she’s a doctor but she will have to kill people, you know, for the Mob. But since she’s a doctor that’s like the opposite of what she’s supposed to be doing.
Me -- I feel like killing people for the Mob is the opposite of what anyone should be doing… But the commercials have me rooting for everyone to kill each other as quickly as possible so maybe I shouldn’t judge.
Ketel -- Well, that’s why we’re planning on really exploring this ethical dilemma.
Me -- How so?
Ketel -- Spin offs!
Me -- No
Ketel Yes!
Me -- Oh, God no
Ketel -- Awesome, right!  We have three more shows in development; Mob UPS Man, Mob Weatherman and Mob Life Insurance Salesman.
Me -- Wow…just…wow.
Ketel -- I know! And you haven’t even heard the best part.
Me -- I’d argue I haven’t even heard the mediocre part.
Ketel -- The tag lines. I mean, they write themselves. Check these out -- Mob UPS Man: His next delivery is… death! Mob Weatherman: The forecast calls for…death!
Me -- Good God, please stop.
Ketel -- Mob Life Insurance Salesman: The only thing he can’t insure you against is…death!
Me -- Wait, so the guy whose job is selling life insurance can’t actually insure someone against death?
Ketel -- Fantastic, right?
Me -- Well, I’m definitely throwing away my television.
Ketel -- Great idea! Mob Television Salesman: The next thing he’ll sell you is…death!
Me -- We should probably just wrap this up. Thanks for your time…I think.
