Seinfeld
My wonderful Aunt gave me two seasons of Seinfeld for Christmas. My conclusion is that I need more Seinfeld in my DVD collection. It's just that funny.
Still, there is an episode that struck me as quite strange. Actually, it was kind of chilling.
In the episode, Elaine is dating a guy named Joel Rifkin. The running joke is that it is the same name as a serial killer.
Elaine tries to rectify this problem by trying to get Joel to change his name. One of the names she suggests? O.J.
I don't like using the term "irony," because people always misuse it. But the episode (aired about a year before the whole O.J thing started) seems to define it for me.
