CoqRoq.comBurger King crosses the line (they've already removed some sexually suggestive content from their new site CoqRoq.com. Yes, those are groupies and the photo caption used to say Groupies love the Coq, it's been changed) (Adage.com, reg. required)
- Move over Transformers, here comes Voltron (to the big screen - "a mighty robot, loved by good, feared by evil") (Zap2it.com)
- Rolling Stone editor to jump on 'Apprentice' bandwagon (Jann Wenner may get his own reality show on MTV where he can fire writers and editors) (New York Post, reg. required)
- Carrie Underwood and Chris Martin are sexiest veggies (PETA's new poll results) (AP via New York Daily News)
- GTA flap still flappin' (game makers can't control modders) (USA Today)
- Pharma parties (maybe instead of all the anti-pot ads, we should be seeing anti-prescription drug ads aimed at teens…for some reason I don't think the big pharmaceutical companies would go for this) (TIME)
- If they're not popping pills they're 'dusting' (NBC News on the new killer inhalant high)
- More Myspace Music love (from Newsweek)
- Flip flops all the rage (and enraging some after the Northwestern lacrosse team visited the White House wearing them) (Star-Telegram, reg. required)
- Fran Drescher finds her mini-me (funny post about "Idol's" Mikalah Gordon appearing on Fran's show) (PopWatch)
- I wear my sunglasses at night (and talk on the phone while wearing them - new Bluetooth eyewear - thanks Dawn!)
