Better Off Ted - Give It a Try

If you have not watched Better Off Ted, I highly recommend it. It is HI-larious! It is about a product development company. I know that sounds dull, but the products are outrageously, silly and the characters are equally silly. I really can't go into the details of the stories. Really, it is something that you have to see for yourself. One of the funniest episodes involved the motion sensors in the labs that turned on and off the lights in rooms. New sensors were installed that were cheaper and worked by detecting the light reflecting off of the skin of the workers, but it had one glitch: the sensor did not recognize black people. It was hilarious. Rather than fixing the system, they hired white people to follow the black people around so that they, the black people, could do their work. This cause issues in the legal department, who claimed that they needed to open the position to black people, which in turn would require the hiring of more white people. Portia DeRosi is one of the characters and she had a great line in the show. It went something like, "We should not be focusing on the fact that the system can't see black people. We should be proud that we have a system that can see Asians, Hispanics, and Jews." I laughed my ass off. Every episode I have seen has made me laugh out loud. Everyone that likes to laugh should watch Better Off Ted.
