Watch William Shatner Learn About Fried Turkey Disasters

Here's a pretty amazing video of William Shatner — called "Eat, Fry, Love" — for State Farm Insurance promoting safe turkey frying this holiday season. (Fried turkey explosions are somewhat common and can be quite dangerous. Tip: defrost your turkey all the goddamn way.) Anyway, don't do what Shatner does and, you know, totally ignore all the safety instructions that come with the fryer. Or, in his words: "Fire, metal, oil, and turkey are glorious when in harmony. But their power is unrelenting in careless hands."
