Prison Stripes Not Slimming

Martha Stewart’s show was airing on one of the TV’s this morning at the gym. I’m assuming that the show has been in rerun for some time… you know, due to her being on trial and all.

This particular show was about games for children that are educational, and an inordinate amount of time was spent with Martha playing Scrabble with two young boys.

While glancing up at the show now and then, I couldn’t help but wonder if there are some people who are happy that things don’t look good for Martha, given her reputation as a barbed tyrant.

As the camera panned across the Scrabble tiles, they appeared to randomly spell the word “keiser.” Crew people on shows are notorious for their subtlety, and I couldn’t help but think this was no accident.

Crew person snickers.

Martha: What’s so funny?

Crew Person: Oh, nothing… nothing…

I thought it would have been better if the letters the boys layed out had been pre-rigged to spell things like “prison,” and “guilty” and “karma.”

I don’t think she would have batted an eye.
