Quote du Jour: TV and the Comedic Housing Collapse

If you, like me, watch in gob-smacked amazement at the continuing impressive ratings pulled by the fantasy-land real estate shows on TV, then read a piece in today's NY Times. Among other things, it contains this keeper of an unintentionally comedic quote from one producer:

“People loved comedies during the depression, too,” said R. J. Cutler, executive producer of “Flip That House.”

So you're saying .... oh, never mind.
