Colonoscopy Sweepstakes

So I was just watching The New Adventures of Old Christine and saw one of the funniest commercials I think I have ever seen.  It happened in a flash, and I thought maybe it was a joke, but it wasn't!  CBS is having a Colonoscopy Sweepstakes! This is a real contest!  If you win, you and a guest will be flown first class to New York and receive free colonoscopies.  Seriously?  I read up on the details of the sweepstakes.  It includes three nights in a very nice hotel and that special laxative you have to drink the night before the procedure.  WOW!  I think it's nice that in these harsh economic times our sweepstakes become more practical.  Do I want a million from Ed McMahon? No thanks.  Should I buy a couple of extra lottery tickets? Unnecessary! Sign me up for the free colonoscopy!  

One of the funniest parts of this whole commercial was that they had Patti Lupone in a hospital gown on a table holding her dog.  Okay, I know who Patti Lupone is, but does the general public know that Corky's mom is on the table peddling free colonoscopies?  She was fantastic in the commercial, but it was amusing that they included her name in the bottom corner of the screen.
