Subject: RE: Seinfeld - the brush w/ Burma episode
I did see the Seinfeld episode with the part on Burma. I was really impressed
that the show not only included Burma as one of the major power lines, but
also,
made a big deal about the name change. Although there were only a few lines
on
Burma, I thought they had a great impact (in terms of politics) given that the
actors actually knew Burma and questioned why the name was changed. They sent
a
message to the viewers about Burma and how ridiculous the name change is.
I commend the creative writers of Seinfeld!
P.S. The only part the show didn't do research was on Burma's
telecommunications (the telephone booth).
