	Hey, folks,

It not only sounds like the WWV voice, it is the same fellow.
The parody story was that WWV had been bought by Clear Channel
Communications and their consultants said the programming was
repetitive and predictable and needed a bit of sprucing up.
That's not a quote, but that was the gist of the story.

	I also remember reading that sadly, the man who did the
voice for this and the real WWV passed away not long after he
did the parody.

I guess that's what happens if you make fun of the passage of
time.
