Retro-Mad FOX To Launch That '90s Show.
HOLLYWOOD, CA (DPI) - Remember Marilyn Manson, Green Day, The X Files and cellular phones? FOX TV Executive Jeff Kamen is betting that you do. Kamen, 22, is the brainchild behind FOX's newest retro-sitcom, That '90s Show. "The thing with Retro is that, honestly, that stuff is way too old," Kamen told reporters at a Beverly Hills press conference. "I mean, the '70s? Who remembers the '70s? Most people weren't even alive then. Same with the '80s. What's so funny about stuff that happened when I was in diapers?"

Bin Laden Forges Alliance With Pretzels.
Bill Simmons - The high comedy of Media Day at the Super Bowl.
Now Patrick Pass and I are discussing the Snow Game, the victory over the Raiders in which poor Pass had to return kicks in a blinding snowstorm. "It was like ice skating," he says. "Like running on ice. Even Jesus Christ himself couldn't have made a cut on that field."
Only Bill Simmons could manufacture a line like that!

Oh Happy Day: Bill Simmons will be filing "Postcards from New Orleans" every day during Super Bowl Week.

The Famous Fonts web site has fonts from TV Shows, Movies, Music, Food and Drink, Publications, Games, Automobiles, Sports, and Companies.

It's awesone.

Now I have to go and write my mother a letter in the frutopia font. Maybe I'll use the How The Grinch Stole Christmas font for the envelope.

Lord of the Rings, by Gene Roddenbury.
"Strider, we've got to get out of this snow. Legolas, did you get a reading on that creature?"

"Fascinating, Captain. It appears to be an unknown creature that lurks in the pool waiting for passing strangers. Ecologically implausible, captain."

The Greatest Commercial That Almost Never Aired.
"My friends, each of you is a single cell in the great body of the State. And today, that great body has purged itself of parasites. We have triumphed over the unprincipled dissemination of facts. The thugs and wreckers have been cast out. And the poisonous weeds of disinformation have been consigned to the dustbin of history. Let each and every cell rejoice! For today we celebrate the first, glorious anniversary of the Information Purification Directive! We have created, for the first time in all history, a garden of pure ideology, where each worker may bloom secure from the pests of contradictory and confusing truths. Our Unification of Thought is a more powerful weapon than any fleet or army on Earth! We are one people. With one will. One resolve. One cause. Our enemies shall talk themselves to death. And we will bury them with their own confusion! We shall prevail!"

President Bush Has A Heart Arrhythmia.
Had the press known that President Bush has sinus bradycardia, and that fainting is a common symptom of bradycardia, the story might have been reported much differently. But the press didn't ask the right question, and the White House didn't volunteer the right answer. Instead, the Bush White House focused on the pretzel, and the press swallowed the story whole.

To the 40/40 club I do solemnly swear,
To always keep on my underwear,
And to the abstinence for which it stands,
I vow to meet its celibate demands.
Funny, this website is so well done it looks like it was created by a movie studio trying to promote an upcoming movie.

Rebecca St. James is keeping a gift for her future husband.
"I received a huge response. One guy e-mailed me that he had been addicted to sex for years. When he heard me talking about purity on the radio..., he gave it up."
I hope she means radio.
