TV
The television is trying to show me something called the Miss Teen USA swimsuit competition. Think about that for a minute. Fifty high school girls with way too much makeup, identical high heels and identical bikinis. Do fourteen-year-olds need to shave, much, really? When do sales (to advertisers) of images of dozens of indistinguishable, nearly naked, not-even-barely-legal girlies become kiddie porn? (Note that it would be totally unfair to mention women's tennis at this point. At least they're mostly over 18.)

Hopefully the television really hopes to attract only teenagers to the broadcast.

So Get Your War On is back, but isn't exactly screamingly funny. Hopefully this dude won't go the way of Ren & Stimpy, starting off amazingly great only to fade into mere acceptability after running out of ideas. Cross your fingers, kids. [Update: more War cartoons are appearing. Huzzah!]

And now he's in Rolling Stone, apparently, although there ain't no way I'm going to start reading Rolling Stone again; that magazine lost any right to my eyeballs ten years ago when they celebrated a Def Leppard album as being, "...full of witty double entendres, such as, 'Let's get the rock out of here!' "
