Once again it's time to focus on the important Man-Rule: Don't Make Fun of the Way Sombody Looks. Previous versions of this Rule have stressed that you shouldn't make fun of Big 10 Commissioner Jim Delany, by comparing him to Jeff Dunham's puppet Walter, or football draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr, by comparing him to Sam the Eagle from the Muppets.
Today another comparison occurred to me, one that as a Man you should never, ever make: CBS college football announcer Verne Lundquist
could be the brother of the Sta Puft Marshmallow Man.
I'm providing this comparison as an example of the types of cruel, hateful remarks you should never, ever make about someone's personal appearance, because I'm sure both Verne and Sta-Puft would be mortified to learn they were identical twins, cruelly separated at birth by Brent Musberger, who wanted to take the place of one or both of them in the crib.
Which raises the question: What would Brent Musberger look like if he'd been raised by the Sta Puft Marshmallow Man's mother? It's probably better that we don't know.
