Star Trek fans ticked off by Shatner's clothes

According the the blog TV Squad, Star Trek fans are screaming bloody murder over the cloths that William Shatner is wearing in the new Direct TV commercial. Shatner reprises his role as James T. Kirk (with the assistance of a few of the original Star Trek crew) to plug the virtues of using the alternative to cable TV service. I found the send up of himself amusing and very much in style with say his discount travel ads or Boston Legal etc. Here are a few of the complaints that fans aired...
  • the Starfleet badge is too small
  • the collar is too small
  • the belt buckle is wrong
Bob Sasone of TV Squad just says "I think his hair piece looks terrible!" ummm yeah, I will give Bob that one...
