Dear Smart Guy

Dear Ken Jennings, Celebrity Mobster on One vs. 100.

I know you're a Mormon and that means you don't even drink coffee, but you're also a smart guy. Which means you should know what Speed is and what it does. You should then also be recognize that a quiz show which includes a grand total of 14 questions in an hour of television can not, under even the most generous of artistic licenses (and I'd like to help you out on this one, Ken, cuz I think you're funny and self-aware and I read your blog, but I just can't), be described as Jeopardy on Speed.

Jeopardy on barbituates, maybe. Jeopardy on a month long alcoholic bender, perhaps.

But Jeopardy on Speed implies that anything on this amazingly stupid show is done at more than a snails pace and with even the slightest hint of intelligence.

Disappointedly,
Me
