Your sig is very appropriate, since when I visited the site yesterday to look at this article, I was greeted by a picture of yesterday’s issue, celebrating “television groundbreaker” Vin Di Bona. I had no idea that _America’s Funniest Home Videos_ was so groundbreaking. (Then again, it did show that regular people can be funny years before YouTube. And since it’s been running as long as _The Simpsons_ has, it must be doing something right.)
