The Cobra

A few weeks ago, we saw a commercial promoting "The Apprentice" and noticed a subtle label the NBC marketers had used to describe Mr. Trump's "You're Fired!" hand gesture. It was never mentioned out loud but in big, bold letters, the words The Cobra drifted across the screen.

Ever since, Mike or myself will point the hand gesture at each other and whisper softly, "The Cobra." It was just too funny not to mock.

But lately, it seems that The Donald has all but abandoned The Cobra. Last night, he did a pointy-finger thing while firing his latest intern... was it John? I don't even care who it was anymore. And from the looks of next week's preview, he's going to do a flat cut across the air with his hand and simply say, "You're out."

I want The Cobra back. Is there a petition somewhere to get it back? NBC, are you listening? BRING BACK THE COBRA. (There is seriously something wrong with me.)
