The Office: Lecture Circuit (Part 2)

(S05E14) I don't usually cringe at The Office. For whatever reason, it's hard for me to disconnect the part of my brain that understands that the people I'm watching are actors speaking words written by writers. I know that makes me sort've like Rain Main describing a kiss -- wet -- but I can't help myself: I just don't cringe.That being said, during Michael's presentation tonight, I cringed so hard that I am currently a hunchback.
I'm not even sure what I felt could be described as good. It's like eating hot peppers at one of those places that makes you sign a waiver that you won't sue them for burning off your tongue: are you happy or sad at the end of the meal?
All I know is that any show that's able to get my gut to churn that much (even though I know that the person on the screen isn't real) must be doing something right...
