OK, OK, I take it back.

I was complaining about the pop-ups I get at thestate.com when I click in the search field, and then I got this video of the Lexington Medical Center ad, with all the doctors and nurses et al. singing “God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen.”

I like that one, not least because it features fellow local thespian Katie Mixon, in what one might term the starring role. She appears at the start, arriving in labor, and at the end is handed her baby. One immediately thinks, “This is a way better place to give birth than in a stable in the West Bank.”

Those of you who came to see the SC Shakespeare Company’s production of “Pride and Prejudice” saw Katie in the lead role, as Miss Elizabeth Bennet.

Now, you might call her Katie Madonna. If you were given to Beatle puns.
