Such fun was had at the correctional facility that manufactured those plates.

some interesting articles today-
Ban sought on bottled water tucked away was this video on a mayor's initiative to ban bottled water from government budgets- as it is an unnecessary financial and environmental waste. No mention of the health dangers of leeching plastic.

Obama using 'white guilt,' Nader says Nader gets reblamed for the 2000 Gore election loss and called a disappointing and delusional media whore for pointing out that democratic presidential candidates of any race or sex will always put the corporate agenda before the everyman.
Aguilera Exclusive Larry King interviews Christina Aguilera about the presidential election. WTF.

April 21 2008 CNN seeks to profit from self-ridicule

CNN is now offering select headline T-shirts. No seriously. If you see the shirt icon pictured to the right next to a headline in the ticker, that headline is offered on a T-shirt. $19.99 with delivery. I need a day or so to collect myself in light of this egregious new function. See comments for endless possibilities.
Update: the hackable software was fixed, so customized T's can no longer be purchased. boo cnn.

April 14 2008 Man sklorks down 420 oysters, wins

I can always count on CNN.com's Monday headlines to be an audacious news-anemic extravaganza.

• Bush personally picking up pope from airport
• Butter knife pulled from boy's head
  
• When your spouse is a slob
• 'Mother's' Harris: I have no problem with Britney
• 'Greedy' gals on trial in homeless killings
• Ticker: Obama mocks Clinton's whiskey shot
• Pit bull tears into tot, then teen leaps in

But the creativity in the word "sklorks" completely trumps all other non-content. To lure readers to this rather blase clip of an oyster eating contest, Cnn invents a word. I did some research and discovered the headline editor has been reading up on writing tips for kids. The exercise for young writers calls for the creation of "new words, especially sound words, like 'sklork.'" Although the headline editor did not actually create a word, merely used the example word in a sentence, at least someone over there is attempting to educate themselves.
Oh, and congratulations to "Deep Dish" Patrick, who looked sklorkingly vomitocious at his victory ceremony.
