Dale Gribble And The Government!

Note: This may interest you only if you are a big fan of "King of the Hill". If you don't know who Dale Gribble is, read his wiki. It is worth reading!

I did not imagine this would ever happen! Dale Gribble - the legendary anti-government, top conspiracy theorist started believing in the government! No kidding!

In an episode I saw this past Saturday, he goes to Dallas to solve the puzzle involving the Kennedy assassination. And of course, he ends up not even figuring out the directions and settles down by a river side. A fed come up to him, and offers him help...

The next scene portrays him driving his crazy "bug" van, decorated with Stars and Stripes. For the first time in his life, he pays taxes. He signs documents by his own name. He demands public service saying, "As of 2 PM yesterday, I am a taxpayer. I want service for my $36 worth of taxes."

I still doubt though, if he will continue to order pizza by his real name, or by his assumed name - Rusty Shackleford! Hilarious!

Here's the punch line: The episode is sponsored by the US Airforce!

Can it be real? The Airforce sponsoring "The King of the Hill" ?! That's interesting. It does not require a degree in rocket science (or Russian) to figure out that any advertising campaign involves quite a bit of research on it's viewer demographic - the category of people that watch this TV show. Seems very clear that the prime demographic for this program is late teens and early 20s. I wonder why they did not choose other hit series like Family Guy or The Simpsons!

PS for Dale: Sorry Dale, I did not mean to disclose your identity by publishing this post. Let me know the next time you return back to your conspiracy theories against the government...I will promptly delete this post!
