Last night on The Office, it was “diversity day.” Steve Carrell’s character had people representing different races in his mocking diversity-training session (where everyone was caricatured–you-do-know-every-Indian-works-at-a-Quik-e-Mart kinda thing). But he confesses: “I didn’t have anyone be Arab. That would be too explosive.” Having emphasized “explosive” he then says something like Just kidding…making clear he just did something bad on purpose, which he was doing throughout the show.

Can a CAIR press release be far behind?

If NBC apologies though, they should rightly spend the season apologizing to everyone else too. Including, probably, paper sellers who are now all dork Dwights in the eyes of much of America and the city of Scranton, where the office is supposed to be, where the people are clearly just weird.
