Heart of the City by Steenz for November 14, 2009

Hey…. for rice krispy treats, I’ll act like an alien….

Actually, Spielberg wanted M&Ms but Mars took a pass … Hershey’s was a little more far-sighted.

I heard the person from M&Ms got fired because of that decision…..

Oh, yeah! “E.T. the Extra-Terrestral”! That’s where Dean got his reference! I need to see that again sometime.

M&M’s? Wouldn’t they melt under the stage lights? Oh, Reese’s Pieces would too. Why couldn’t it be Skittles?

Aliens don’t like tasting the rainbow.

Other geniuses: 74 people passed on Dr. Suess, 29 people told JK Rowling her idea about a boy wizard wasn’t good, and one guy once upon a time asked two young men named Joe and Jerry, who would want to read a comic about a super man. Plus that guy who allegedly told the Beatles to take a hike. Then there was that idiot at ABC who nixed the pilot for a show called 3rd Rock From The Sun.

“Corner Gas” was pitched to CBC first, but they turned it down. I wonder how much CTV ended up making off of it!

Their loss is somebody else’s profit. Bet they were slapping themselves when they saw the results.

Zeke’s pretty cool. You should hang out.
