Lewis Black’s Math
Sunday, April 20th, 2008A few years ago one of Gert’s brothers introduced us to Lewis Black. I was so not impressed, I slept through the performance. Today I noticed there was a Lewis Black video on Comedy Central and stopped to watch a little of it. I was equally not impressed.
I gather Comedy Central is sponsoring Black’s tour as there was a commercial that kept running for his Let Them Eat Cake tour. I am surprised I cannot find the clip, but the commercial had Black commenting that he would receive a $600 rebate from the federal government. Then he held up a cupcake and stated something along the lines of, “With that money I can afford 300 of these.”
Huh? How much is a cupcake these days? Black seems to paying $2 per cupcake. I suppose when one is a big shot making lots of money he can afford such luxuries. The rest of us will have to suffer with the the ol’ Pillsbury box.
