urban fervor vs. rural juror

Imagine my surprise when my dissertation was mentioned last night on 30 Rock. Well, it wasn't really my dissertation - just its (apparently hilarious) title. The story goes that Jane Krakowski's character has made a movie whose title no one can understand because it sounds like "the errrerrrl grrrrerrrr." One character guesses that it might be called "The Oral Germ Whore." Eventually, it is revealed the movie is titled The Rural Juror. Krakowski explains that it is based on the new novel by Kevin Grisham - John's brother - fresh off his career at the recycling center. He's already working on the sequel to The Rural Juror: Urban Fervor.

My dissertation has fulfilled its destiny as a sitcom punchline.
