Blonde on Blonde on Green Eggs and Ham Action
Bob Dylan sings Dr. Seuss stories. Not sure if this is original or some clever audio mashup. Seems odd that there’s no copyright mention to Dylan’s record companies. Was it an indie release from long ago?
AP Says "We Will Never Have Paris"
“The wire service’s entertainment editor Jesse Washington sent a memo to staffers on Feb. 13 that said, barring any major events, the AP would not run any mention of Paris Hilton on the wire, according to the memo, which was obtained by the New York Observer.
In the Observer article Washington was quoted as saying, “There was a surprising amount of hand-wringing. A lot of people in the newsroom were saying this was tampering with the news.” Washington added that one editor’s response was: “This is a great idea—can we add North Korea?"”

Smashing PS3 and Wii Game Consoles, Fuel for the Haters
The web site http://www.smashmyipod.com drew a lot of attention last year for smashing an iPod on video. They vowed to do the same to the Xbox 360, PS3 and the Wii if enough people donated money for them to purchase the systems.
They collected enough donations to buy all the systems and now the videos are out. They claim it’s a “social experiment” but really they just want to aggravate the fans of each system for personal gain.
From their faq “Im not going to steal the money because if I actually do this, I can make a lot more money selling the video rights, and advertising inside the actual video. And I simply love smashing things!”
Plus one of them promotes their porn site via a link. A real desperate cry for attention because they can’t get laid.
