I was just thinking about this today, and I had to blog about it. It’s another instance where I am amazed my friend hasn’t done it already, but since he hasn’t, I will.

Years ago, there was an utterly mind-blowingly brilliant TV show called Undeclared . It was shortly after another great yet short-lived show, Freaks and Geeks. Both were brainchilds of Judd Apatow who has since gone on to enjoy monster success with The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Talladega Nights, Anchorman:, Walk Hard, Superbad and more.

Anywho, during one particular episode of Undeclared – which, if you don’t know, centered around college freshman and their experiences – they made lighthearted fun of fraternity stereotypes.

The episode did not paint frat life in a favorable light and literary made them look silly. And they pretty much are (speaking from personal experience), but my friend took offense. He was at the height of his frat life and loving every minute of it. So he did what every well-educated yet narrow-minded fraternity man would do: he sent an e-mail to Judd Apatow to express his disappointment.

Apatow, to his credit, responded. It was short and succinct. He basically said;

“It’s a TV show dude. Get over it.”

That’s Crescent fresh!

Actually, his response earned him quite a bit of respect from me.

And nowadays I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t all that much care…
