- A British TV network has come under fire for allegedly moving downmarket in a desperate attempt to attract viewers. Protests against embattled Channel Six - dubbed "Channel Sex" by its critics" - culminated with its Soho offices being stormed by a group of hard-line puritans wielding flaming torches. The puritan League of Public Decency, a militant off-shoot of Mary Whitehouse's National Viewers and Listeners Association, have long been critical of the station's late night programming, which has, since its inception, been dominated by lowbrow features focussing on sex and nudity and screenings of classic porn films such as "Rear Entry", "Hockey Girls Holiday","Skullbuggery", "Convoy Cock" and "The Erotic Adventures of Dickman and Throbbin". However, the League's Chairman, Ezekial Deacon, claims that Channel Six has now started filing its prime time schedules with "filth and degradation" in a shameless attempt to win viewers. Recent pre-watershed fare from Channel six has included "Touch My Todger", a game show in which fifty contestants cling onto host Dale Winton's knob - whoever hangs on longest wins a night with Dale. |

- Vandaag ff naar de opticien geweest, ene oog is een kwart punt minder geworden en andere ook een half punt. Dus binnenkort maar is een nieuwe look gaan uitzoeken daar! Vanavond kwam Emma ff eten bij me, tijd niet gezien sinds het uit is met Roy, was wel ff gezellig. Morgen rustig dagje op de zaak, dus tijd zat om de boel hier flink up te daten! |

- As computer buff Shane Messer watched the hunt for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, he had a money spinning idea. He created an international treasure hunt called "Find Those Weapons: The Hunt for the Real WMD". The game made of actual public documents related to the American invasion as clues carries a prize of a solid gold trophy, a bag of cash and a barrel of oil. "I sat down and created a hunt with real documents off public domain sites and started putting the puzzle together over time and it became a very complex thing," said Messer, 28, of Nashville. |

- It was a slower, slightly stoop-shouldered Saddam Hussein who entered the visiting room of the maximum-security prison. He appeared to be in good physical shape and apparently had loss about ten pounds, a fact he attributed to following the Atkins Diet during Ramadan. He chained smoked Marlboro Lights all during the interview and confessed to a fondness for Diet Vanilla Coke and expressed regrets that he would not be able to see the final episode of The Lord of the Rings until it came out in video.

- Gravity Lens blogger Jeff Patterson points to this interesting case of how the Web abetted plagiarism and its correction: Over at retroCRUSH, Robert Berry explains how his story about "The Worst Sex Scenes Ever" was ripped off by the British paper The Daily Star, which attributed the list to a "poll" done by the fictitious mag FILM. That story got picked up by a bunch of other publications and sites. From Berry's account of an exchange with a Star editor: On 1/05/04 I spoke with a the News Editor of "The Daily Star" named Kieran Saunders and what he told me takes the cake. |
