Austalia's prude-powered crackdown continues...
Rounding up magazines from corner shops and filling stations, [Australia] Senator Joyce claimed that publications featuring small-breasted women were encouraging paedophilia. The result of this campaign is now visible in the decisions being made by the Australian Classification Board, which is beginning to apply RC (refused classification) categories to such material, as opposed to the previous X-rating.

- Go to the library and write. Write pages and pages. Every time you reach 50 pages, burn all of them. Repeat for several years.
- Take out an ad in Craiglist for someone to pretend to be your advisor. Set up periodic meetings with them where they read your drafts and give you the exact opposite of the advice they gave you three months ago.
- Adjunct a course at your local college. Give lots of written work. Submit everything you get to one of the online plagiarism detectors. Despair for humanity.

Big Mike) was reportedly told to pack his bags after his father revealed to his local Florida paper, The St. Petersburg Times, that Michael had made the top 24 — a violation of Idol rules requiring the singers and their families to keep the Hollywood week results quiet until they’re broadcast.

I'm looking for a deadly vixen to do battle with on a weekly basis. We could meet in parks, rooftops, on the top of a moving train, on top of a moving truck, on top of anything really. My last arch-enemy found a new villain to fight when she decided beating me was too easy =(. I'm looking for someone strong, but not too strong. If you're about Buffy strong, you're too strong, but if you're about Sailor Mercury strong, that's too weak... Should we ever have a common greater foe, I'm all for teaming up, but just that one time. Please respond soon, I'm so out of practice.

If requested, a willing staff-member... will dress in an all-in-one fleece sleeper suit before slipping between the sheets. The bed-warmer is equipped with a thermometer to measure the bed's required temperature of 20 degrees Celsius (68 Fahrenheit). Holiday Inn said the warmer would be fully dressed and leave the bed before the guest occupied it. They could not confirm if the warmer would shower first, but said hair would be covered. She could not explain why the beds were not being warmed by hot water bottles or electric-blankets, but admitted the human method was quirky.
This is not buzz marketing. This is gross, cringe, I-paid-for-a-clean-bed-and-you've-had-The-Help-sleeping-in-it? nasty.

A new professional basketball league called the All-American Basketball Alliance (AABA) sent out a press release on Sunday saying that it intends to start its inaugural season in June, with teams in 12 U.S. cities. However, the AABA is different from other sports leagues because only players who are “natural born United States citizens with both parents of Caucasian race are eligible to play in the league.” AABA commissioner Don “Moose” Lewis insists that he’s not racist, but he just wants to get away from the “street-ball” played by “people of color” and back to “fundamental basketball.”
