...Most Jaded Police Sergeant in the World, DeGeneres does her usual deadpan routine, often mistaken for a dry reading of the script...gets tiresome, even more quickly because the set piece one-liner barbs evoke a senile or non-acting star (Brando or the Beatles) who can only film one line per take.

Stuck between a rock-like dining hall biscuit and a hard, stale box of Entenmann's, Harvard students now have a place to turn.

Sure, some of Sassy's celebrity-bashing was gratuitous and motivated by the lure of an easy target. But perhaps it was also motivated by some fundamental feeling that it's necessary and right to question what everyone else loves and hates and that only by questioning...
