healingmirthI am a little scattered, and this is not helping. The setting is irrelevant, but I will tell you anyway.
So, I was finally watching last Wednesday's The Sing-Off.
(Am I the only one who believes the judges are talking amongst themselves, all, "Okay, we just have to keep putting Jerry Lawson and Talk of the Town through, so we don't look like assholes, and then we can be really, really sympathetic when they get voted off in the finals." Because yes, they are really quite good at their thing, and yes I am all for showing respect to our forebears, but. They are not entertaining. Nor do they appear to be particularly artistic. Maybe you have to be in the room to get it.)
Anyway, watching NBC, and NBC has always done those "...the more you know..." PSA things with stars of NBC shows, right? And this time the star in the PSA was Christopher Meloni. (I thought SVU had been canceled? And I just went to google it, and very nearly typed "Stargate: SVU" instead of L&O)
And Chris Meloni is talking about how if you leave the water running while you brush your teeth you waste eight gallons of water, and if there is still someone out there who doesn't know that, you have been living under a great and powerful rock inside a bomb shelter like the one in that Brendan Fraser movie.
But THE POINT IS: I am uncomfortable with any PSA being that sexy. Because, seriously, the dude is just standing there, in, like, jeans and a t-shirt talking about faucets and I don't know what to do with myself now. He could have convinced me of any number of baseless or unsavory things. I am glad, sir, that you are not using your powers for evil.
