So this morning at the gym I was subjected to two episodes of Saved by the Bell while on the elliptical machine. I did have some choices — The NFL channel which is boring if they aren’t showing Miami Dolphins cheerleader tryouts, of the inane Fox and Friends, or the house video channel which offers a few decent videos but a lot of tripe.

So anyway, one episode was about a big teen movie star coming to the school to shoot a “don’t do drugs” PSA for NBC. The Saved by the Bell kids, of course, are all about not doing drugs so it seemed a natural fit. Turns out [spoiler!] that the big star smokes weed and so the kids decide not to participate. It really made me think. It made me think I’d like to blaze one up.

And then I find this story about a former cast member of Saved by the Bell suing the National Enquirer for libel. I really believed the words I saw on the closed captioning that Lisa Tuttle would never do drugs. That wasn’t acting. That was real. Shame on you National Enquirer!
