In a world gone sad...

"In a world gone mad, only one man can deliver the voiceover..."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_LaFontaine

Don LaFontaine, the voiceover guy, is dead. I have nothing funny to say about such a cultural icon. He wasn't just a voiceover actor, he was a voiceover actor on the edge.

Somebody once said that when you die, you don't hear God's voice -- you hear God trying to do Don LaFontaine's voice. I picture Don right about now telling God, "No, no, no -- try it like this."
