What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWe promised you this one: the New York Post recap of Crystal Lake, episode three, in which Pamela Voorhees knocks a woman's face off with a meat hammer.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe Post's recap closes with a line borrowed from the arena, asking whether you are not entertained.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI have covered real arenas, and the crowds there were less enthusiastic.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA meat hammer. In a kitchen drawer, between the whisk and the good scissors. Every household in Britain is armed and nobody has noticed.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's a mallet, Dale.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThat's what they all say right before the face comes off.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIt is a television show, and the woman is fine. I would still count my kitchen tools today.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI'm keeping mine with the beans.
