    Instead of returning home to Elsinore, the Prince of Denmark heads to the beach with his girlfriend Ophelia, his buddy Horatio, and his classmates Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. When Horatio finds out that the king of Denmark has died and the queen has suddenly re-married, he desperately tries to hide the news from Hamlet until the end of the vacation. But it's not the easiest task with so many other beach-goers getting in the way, including the Weird Sisters of Macbeth and the daughters of King Lear.

    While sitting by her hog exhibit at the county fair, Jenna's boredom and her love of tall tales get the best of her when an opportunistic TV crew and a couple of glad-handing politicians pass by. Seeing it as the perfect opportunity to ply her trade, she asks each of the politicians to weigh in on an entirely fictitious new bill. Soon, she's wreaking havoc as the candidates and crew work themselves into a furor over the one question that might actually be unanswerable: Do you support the Pork Producers Protection Act?
