MTV.com - Onair - Spring Break - 2003
If you really think about it, what sense does it make for MTV to broadcast every last minute of a fictional spring break?
It's like they're trying to rub it in...

Madonna blasts manufactured pop
Pop superstar Madonna has criticised the trend for manufactured pop acts and the recent stream of TV talent searches.
She said the pop world had become "homogenised", and accused record companies of putting marketing ahead of talent.
She just wants to date Simon...

A girl is recovering from injuries after the shopping cart she was riding in crashed while careering down a hill at an estimated 45 mph.
Another one snuck past Darwin...
Songs that could remind listeners of war are being banned by radio stations in Europe
The first war-related action we've seen out of the majority of Europe...
This is freakin' ridiculous. Following September 11, 2001, many American stations began to start lists of similar songs that may offend listeners.
What in the hell did it matter? The only thing that was being aired at the time was coverage of the tragedy. And the people that were listening to the stations with the banned music were seeking relief from the tragedy itself.
Music is a getaway; a release from the world. It serves as an emotion control that brings us through the worst of times, as well as the best of times.
The songs are inspired in some way, shape, or form by the artists... Whoever is making the decisions, government or not, it is wrong. Cutting the songs from the air is the same as limiting how an artist can express him or herself.
And in America, we call that censorship.
Man dies in sex toy shocker
A German pensioner in southern Spain died after experiments with a homemade sex toy went badly wrong, according to media reports.
What is the male obsession with *attempting* to find new and "exciting" ways to indulge themselves in self-gratification.
Well, at least it wasn't from a keyboard infection... (see below)
Keyboard Cooties Could Make You Sick
The report shows that public keyboards can be a bacterial training ground.
...the study has to report the findings of the 15 year old male with unlimited internet access.
Incredible rubber ball falls flat
2,600lb of wound elastic fails to bounce for TV cameras THE world's biggest rubber band ball has been dropped from an aeroplane a mile up to see if it would bounce when it landed - but things didn't go exactly according to plan. The ball, which weighed an incredible 2,600lb, was sent plunging to earth for a television show.
Experts thought the ball would bounce hundreds of feet into the air.
Instead, it created a massive crater when it crashed into the sun-baked earth of the Mojave Desert in Arizona at 400mph.
Wait wait...Experts said it would bounce?
Sticky Situation
A German man caught masturbating on a tram was ordered -over a loudspeaker - to stop what he's doing.
Yah... men are jerk-offs.

Texting doctor cuts waiting times
Instead of waiting weeks, patients need only send a text message to Dr Pal three or four days after their tests in order to get results within hours.
"UR GOIN 2 DIE!"
Noted designer interupts Latrell Sprewell mid-game
The fan was noted designer Calvin Klein. And he went way over the line of fan decorum by grabbing Sprewell by his right arm as the Knicks forward was trying to go about his business.
I'm guessing it had something to do with the boxers...they must've been wearing Hilfiger.

And now for another Will O'Hargan war update, here's Dick Vitale:
"USA, baby! America, are you serious? Iraq with some tough play down here, but the Geneva is gonna call Saddam with a T, baby! And can Bush drain the three? (Video clip of Bomb hitting Bagadad) It's AWESOME Baby"
This has been another war update with Dick Vitale.
AH!
Somehow, for some reason, the hosting service for my "add your comments" feature has gone up into thin air. I'll give it a little bit to work out, if not - I'll get a new one back ASAP.
[UPDATE: The comments feature is back - the service provider was having an issue with their service provider who... eh.. screw it, it's up now.]
Do you speak 'Caddyshack'?
Yes - It's official: Guys have a horrible fetish of wanting to quote movies.
Finally some damn proof.

Cut off my war coverage for basketball?
This, ladies and gentlemen, is the face of a very pissed off man.

When's the last time you remember seeing any or all of the movies up for the Academy Awards?
Me neither.
A Father’s Words on Going to War

Among the highlights:
Interviewer: What do you think is going on with France?
Bush: [Pause] They’re French.
Ah yes... war is splendid.
All of the advertising has gone to thin air, from MSNBC.com's main page, to CNN's small breaks. Advertising is hard to come by on the networks right now.
Negating the fact that all we've been pelted with are "feel good gung-ho" US armed forces recruitment ads.
Maybe we'll see a "sign up now and skip boot camp" offer!
