SEC going Hollywood?

We’re not sure what’s more brain-dead: The unlamentably-cancelled “Joey,” or the idea that a character like “Joey” could bring investor education to the masses.

Reuters reports that SEC commissioner Cynthia Glassman wants to insinuate stock savvy into sitcoms.

“If we can get story lines into sitcoms, it will draw in Middle America,” Glassman said in an interview with the wire service. For example, Glassman said she envisioned a story line on a show such as the canceled NBC sitcom “Friends,” in which the character Joey is befuddled by his 401k account and asks Monica and Chandler for help.

Right.
