Tina Fey (born May 18, 1970) is an American actress who is the result of Hollywood's demented, ongoing experiment to crossbreed nerds and hot chicks. Though it was a scientific-biological success, she found that she had the worst of both worlds because it essentially only made her enter the American consciousness as Sarah Palin Lite.
Saturday Night Live was not enough, and it drove her to madness, as she lashed out at the world that could not accept her as a third-rate Elaine May, and created 30 Rock. Fey threatens mass genocide to anyone not cool enough to get an American Express card, world domination for its own sake, destroying all things that might annoy Alice, and comedy writing for fun, profit, and status exceeding Hollywood film directors and producers.…
