Local daredevil lands in hot water
To quote:
A 23 year old Fort Wayne man made it all the way to the top of the Anthony Wayne Building downtown before police arrested him.
After later interrogation, police learned that the man was on a dare with a few of his drunken friends, and was forced to either "climb a weird looking building," or "make out with the statue of General Mad Anthony Wayne."
When asked why he opted for the building, he simply replied, "Dude... like, making out (laughter) with the statue is so, like (sniff) gay. (girlish giggles)"
Just wait until he spends a night behind bars...
To Quote:
Clinton and Dole agree to disagree CBS News will announce today that it is going to revive the old “Point/ Counterpoint” segment on “60 Minutes” with Clinton and former senator and presidential candidate Robert Dole facing off each week.
Just when we thought the last form of true journalism was alive and well...

Color change to $20 bills imminent - Mar. 5, 2003
To quote:
The federal government will unveil a new $20 bill that will introduce a predominant but subtle color into the background, marking the first time in modern history that a U.S. bill will feature a color other than green.
Ooo, let's just team up with M&M/Mars, Co. and have a giant "pick the new M&M/$20 bill color contest."
Imagine the possibilities... hell, we could make a tv show out of it!
"What they don't know is that Joe Millionaire's cash is actually...fuchsia."
Among the other suggested colors:
...Monica Blueinski
Lance Bass, reality TV’s latest judge
To quote:
Pop singer Bass of ’N Sync will serve as lead judge for NBC’s four-episode reality series “The Search for the Most Talented Kid in America,” debuting March 21.
Let's hope network execs decide to let this one go, "Bye Bye Bye."
AOL escalates spam warfare
To quote:
America Online, the nation’s largest online service, said Wednesday that in one day this week it had blocked 1 billion unwanted marketing e-mails
Instead, AOL filled the void with useless pop-up ads, annoying welcome screen features, and most horrifyingly, Justin Timberlake's newest single.

IndyStar.com Victoria's Secret loses case against Sex Shop
To quote:
The sound-alike name was not enough to show that the small store bruised Victoria's Secret's image, a unanimous Supreme Court ruled. Federal trademark law requires some proof of real harm, and Victoria's Secret did not provide it, the high court said.
The Judge added that the case would have been dismissed sooner, but was held up while he attempted to "undo the god damn strap in the back."

The second-season premiere of The Anna Nicole Show, on Sunday, March 2, at 10 p.m.,
As far as I'm concerned, the terrorists are still winning.
Journal Gazette | 91.1 FM to go for record
You know, for having gone 44 hours (a personal record) on 7 hours of sleep, and then having slept 12 hours..... I feel pretty damn good.
We pulled it off, too. 24 hours straight of music, djs, and caffeine. It was scary how many people actually thought this was the first time we had been on for 24 hours... but, at least it had 'em listening.
Prizes seem to lure people in. I do have one thing to say about them, though: Don't ever try giving away a cell phone to an audience of almost all white middle to upper class people. It's hard as hell.
We've got some other stunts in the bag that we're working on, and we shall see how they come out. Congrats and thanks to Jason Johnson for having pulled this all together, with nothing more than the joking tipoff I gave him last month. Thanks to everyone who listened for at least a little while, too.
Enough chatter. For those of you who wondered why the blog was silent, now you know why. Hopefully I'll make up for it within the next few days, but I also have a column to write for Friday's paper.
Now, what to say?
