Or perhaps it is the water that, through some contaminant, seems to be causing aggressive lessening of higher-level cerebral functions in the frontal lobe of NBC's executive ranks. You can't make this stuff up. And the story is only going to get better down the line when, after many failed attempts, NBC has to go back to Apple and do some serious homage payments to Jobs & Co.
