Patty Duke geeks out with George Takei in 'Star Trek' Social Security PSAs
Senior citizens, we have a viral marketing campaign just for you.Oscar-winning child star Patty Duke appears alongside "Star Trek" icon George Takei in a new batch of public service announcements put out by the Social Security Administration.
Dressed in U.S.S. Enterprise uniforms -- or at least Halloween costume versions of them -- Duke and Takei advise us that filing for social security benefits online is not as scary as it sounds.
Duke (64) explains to Takei (73) that it's so easy, even William Shatner could do it. (Zing!)
Not so fast, Patty. Have you seen how quickly he navigates Priceline.com?
Both spots, in their awkward glory, ahead:

I am so disappointed to see the Social Security Administration or anyone else target any individual for a putdown. This is something that good parents teach their children not to do, yet here are an organization and celebrities doing it flagrantly. What on earth (or in space) has William Shatner/Captain Kirk ever done that has earned such contempt? It makes me very sad.
