"Red-Shirted" By Health Care?
![]() I thought this was pretty funny. I wonder if they are going to change their ad campaign. The article didn't say. |

But it's OK if the Red Shirt doesn't beam down with Captain Kirk. Remember that by the TNG era, it wasn't so fatal anymore to wear red. Still, I'd probably run away screaming from the red shirt treatment, but I grew up on TOS. |

No kidding. If I were Spock, I wouldn't beam down with Kirk either. Seems like Spock was always getting the brunt of whatever was going on. I have The Apple in mind. However, with his Vulcan strength, I guess it was easier for the writers to have Spock get injured because he could more easily take the beating and heal.
Obviously the people who came up with this ad campaign never watched TOS. ![]() It would have been helpful if at least one red flag had been raised before the campaign launched. |

Oh, let the puns begin ... If I were the advertising accountant, I would be seeing red if we had to pay to change all the ads. |

Hopefully that advertising company won't lose their shirt over this. (You knew I couldn't resist a given opportunity to add a pun! :D) |

Hopefully the advertising campaign will allow this company to bring in enough profit to stay out of the red. |

I wonder if the ads can be readily changed? |

I think this calls for some kind of Trekkie prank. Something like someone dressed in a TOS redshirt feigning injury. Maybe like with a piece of fake vomit adhered to his back like the creatures in Operation Annhilate! "Things! HORRIBLE THINGS!!!!" |
