I LOVE 30 ROCK

If I collected dvds, I would buy this series. It's one of those laugh out loud series (at least for me). They pay so much attention to detail and nearly every line spoken has an opportunity for laughter. In one episode, a group organizes a boycott to protest a cast member's comments about the troops in Iraq. One protestor's sign has Ecclesiastes 10:19 written on it which states:

A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things

VANITAS

In the 17th century, paintings of this type were highly popular with rich merchants who had made money from trading. Sometimes, quotes from Ecclesiastes were listed saying, "Death always wins" and "Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless!"
