I too have been traumatized

Last night on the Daily Show, Jon Stewart relayed how Brian Kilmeade on Fox & Friends had been scared as a child, transcript courtesy of C&L:

Jon: “Luckily for my pre-conceived notions about the FOX network, the conversation soon got back on the express to Crazy Town.”

Brown hair guy who’s not Steve Doocy: “Here’s the problem, though. In 1970 or ‘68, Barbara Eden lowered the bar by wearing that sexy outfit, traumatized me as a child, and then every kid wore the Barbara Eden outfit…”

Well, I too was traumatized as a child. Not by Barbra Eden (aka Jeannie) , but by Diana Rigg (aka Mrs. Emma Peel). And that trauma has left me scared with heterosexual tendencies throughout my life. But I didn’t realize just how deep my trauma had scared my until a few months ago when a friend mentioned to me that Diana Rigg is now the Chancellor of the University of Stirling, in Scotland. This explains such terrible traits as my love of books and learning, my questioning of the world around me, and, of course, the fact the I never watch Fox & Friends.
