- I like this. It's sneeky, but who would stupid enough to believe it?

- We need to go further with this. Think bigger. How about "The Danster
- defeats Space Nazis!" or "Dannikins declares war on Ear Wax!" Remember, the
- story is going to apply to our poster boy.

- You're on the right track, but perhaps something a little more exciting.
- How about a Disney film (not the new rated R ones)? Dannikins could lead
- a revival of black and WASP, er...I mean, white films, complete with laugh-
- tracks. I GOT IT! A re-make of "Lost in Space" It's perfect. The Danster
- is already an expert in astrology, I mean, astronomy, anyway.
- I can see it now.
-
- When we last saw our super-hero, he was about to do
- battle with the evil-Mediaist-Elitist.
-
- [cut to profile of the Danster, surveying his the alien planet
- in his own vice-presidential way]
-
- Our Hero leaps gracefully from his spacecraft (that looks just like
- a customized Winnebago), wearing his one-piece, silver, spandex suit, complete
- with booties, onto the pink-alien, hostile planet of Feminista.
- His adoring, white-bread family looks at him from the spaceship in
- awe. He smiles at them confidently. "Remember, there is nothing that a
- good defense cannot beat a better offense," he says (his chin jutted out.
- His family sighs). "That's why I'm going to do battle with them rather than
- wait for them to come to us. If we don't succeed, then we run the risk
- of failure."(His family sighs again)
- Just then, one of the fierce Liberalits leaps from behind
- a boulder and strikes our hero on the back (just like those Liberalits)
- with a rolled-up quota bill. But our hero has not begun to fight.
- He quickly gets back on his feet (his hair still showing that
- blown-dry look) and strikes the beast right between the eyes with a pointed
- veto. The beast is stunned!
- But before our hero can finish it off, several other
- deadly Mediaist-Elitists jump out from behind their facade of impartiality.
- Our hero is surrounded!
-
- [Here are a few scenes from the next episode of "Dan In SPAAAAACCCE!"]
-
- "Ugg...Umph...PPHHTTT!"
-
- "Do what you want to the girl, but leave me alone."
-
- "What do you mean, 'You want to have my baby'?"
-
- "Oh, Dan! You're such a...a...a MAN!"
-
- "Be off vermin, or I'll throttle you."
-
- [music fade out to the tune of 'Get Smart']
