Because there is a new startegic arms treaty with Russia, Kraft is selling Easy Mac to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, and Switzerland and Chile finally have a good link in Six Degrees of Separation, but sometimes all you wanna see is two adorable queens wrapping Old Navy sweaters.
Oh, all right, I'll say something vaguely analytical. I can totally see a treatment of this story which a) would have been print and b) would have attempted to solve the mystery of why they're getting the letters. Either one, in my opinion, would have completely killed the charm of the story. It's standard holiday fluff without those two personalities - they're simultaneously so specific and so general, and so very very New York. And I like many a journalist have gritted teeth while well-meaning teachers and editors have floated ideas for 'multimedia,' but this is a perfect example of doing it right.
UPDATE: Oh well, can't have everything.
And that's all I'm gonna say. Merry Christmas, everyone!
