Okay, so not living in the US means I won't see the actual event, but the video previews are... unusual. Leonard Nimoy is a pointy eared pussy and George Takei... *sporfle*

OMGDennyCrane! That probably makes no sense to anyone who didn't just see Bill Shatner with his pants down and a big bullseye on his... underpants
