The Actor Who Played B.J. Hunnicut on MASH Caused 911

[Hoof Hearted]

I'm schizophrenic and connect random dots...

But I'm quite sure of my theory on this one.

The final episode of MASH was the most watched in television history. Pop culture has always dictated current events. Before that bearded, fairy socialist character named B.J., every president was mean-looking...Johnson, Nixon, Ford...etc.

Post B.J. Hunnicut? Carter...Reagan...Bush...Clinton...Bush Jr.....all girly smiles and lollipops.

Then...KABOOM!! Down go the Twin Towers!

These caveman terrorists only understand 'The Hammer'. With a string of soft/ kind-looking Presidents, the terrorists felt emboldened to strike!

I had a 2 hour drunken argument about this in the company of a Lawyer and a Screenwriter, and after all was said and done, they both ended up agreeing with me.

Thoughts?

Might could cut back on the sauce a little.

And Nurse Kelly on MASH...

She has like 3 lines in 8 years on the show, then there's an episode centered all around her where she breaks down and claims she isn't getting any respect!

Wtf??

What about all those disposable crew members of the Star Ship Enterprise? Does anybody care about them?

John Scalzi wrote a novel called Redshirts about exactly that.

That was probably the old scotsman Roddenberry having a nice little poke at the brits ol time colonial uniform.
