11. yes, I always thought that the effete Gilligan was supposed to be a knock |
|
against liberalism, and that the Skipper was supposed to represent the correctness and moral resolve of Joseph McCarthy in rooting out those evil commies :crazy:

16. No. The true conspiracy is in it's cancellation. |

After that one episode revealed that you can make a coconut-powered radio, the battery industry pressured CBS to pull the show from its lineup. It's the BATTERY INDUSTRY, people! :tinfoilhat:

17. Cheney is Skipper, * is Gilligan, Rove is the Professor |

Condasleezy is Ginger, Rumsfeld is Thurston Howell and Wolfowitz is Lovey. It all makes sense now.
