Ah, The Onion. How I love thee.

“After nearly six years on the air, NBC’s hit show The Office ended abruptly Thursday when documentary filmmaker Ian Sheffield announced that he and his crew had all the footage of the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company’s Scranton branch required for their project. ‘In retrospect, we really over-shot this thing by an enormous margin…’”

Mindy hit the “What Up With That” segment on Saturday Night Live last night with Al Gore.

Can this man make you feel better about your current financial situation?

The Office is among a great many prime-time shows that have integrated recession-era themes into their plotlines this fall in an effort to reflect the changing American economic climate. Art imitating life on television can offer a sense of solidarity for the viewing public and a new type of coping mechanism for dealing with recession-related stress.”
