So, sometimes I have story idea pop into my head...almost like a daydream. This is one of them...
It's one of Oprah's "Best of" shows. This time it's the best green toys on the market. The format of the show brings the vendor/manufacturer/celebrity endorser out to demo the product. Then a gaggle of cute kids swarm the stage and get to play with the toys 'til the end of the show. The audience members ooh and aah when they realize that they'll also receive the goodies.
The first guest is a major toy manufacturer like Milton Bradley. The president comes out and explains that they've got the same great toys with 70% less packaging and all pieces made of recycled goods. Crowd goes wild. Kids are happy.
The next guest has remote control cars that are totally solar powered. No batteries required at all. Kids go wild. Drop the board games. Play with cars.
DRUM ROLL!!! Who could it be??? What's next... OMG!!! It's AL!!! Mr. Gore himeself!! Oprah congratulates him on all his awards. They show a little video again about global warming. And he talks about the little changes that a family can make that will save the world.
"Tipper, and my kids always had a favorite toy....and now I've made it earth friendly. I introduce the new and improved ....EASY BAKE OVEN. This low-watt bulb will last for years!"
Oprah - "But, Al..."
Al, "And, it's much safer for child-ren".
Oprah - "But, Al..."
Flash to the kids excited putting little tins of cake batter in the ovens. And waiting... And waiting...and waiting.
End of Show....Oprah off camera, "Somebody go and get me a cupcake."

LOL! I'm very entertained by the vision of Al waiting for his EZ Bake cupcake :)
:-) I love the idea of trying to bake with a stone cold low-watt bulb.
"Now you see, O-praahh, the oven is like a lock box for your muffins..."
"But Al..."
"LOCK BOX!"
"Aren't you concerned about the mercury in the bulb?"
"Well honestly, O-praah, the kids love it. Don't you, Ralphie?'
"My muffin takes like a thermometer!"
