Some channel is showing a documentary on the Iranian Hostage Crisis. Pretty serious moment, serious documentary. The problem, though, is that they somehow got, as the narrator, William Shatner ("the students….broke in….and broke through the doors").

Is there anyone out there who can take Shatner serious? Is there anyone out there who doesn't hear his voice and immediately start cracking a smile? Shatner's probably the last person you want narrating a serious documentary. It's like getting Jerry Lewis to do a documentary on WWII ("hey Nazi's!")

What were they thinking?
