PETA brings its KFC horror show to Boston
Posted in: UncategorizedKFC’s really been getting battered lately. First, Moby’s pimp-chicken attacked. Then Troma produced Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead. Now, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has hit the airwaves with what the Boston Herald calls “disturbing new ads depicting the bespectacled Colonel Sanders as a sadistic torture monger.†You might remember this as the campaign that FOX refused to run during the Super Bowl. The Herald continues: “The ‘Kentucky Fried Cruelty’ ads … show a man dressed like the grandfatherly Sanders watching approvingly as guards ruthlessly beat half-human, half-chicken creatures cooped up in a Guantanamo-like prison camp.†Guantanamo-like, eh? Why then, it’d be un-American not to eat at KFC!

iPhone shortage may unhinge fragile nation
Posted in: Uncategorized
How can there be an iPhone shortage? First oil, now this. There is an oil shortage, right? Isn’t that why the price of gas is so high? What other reason could there be? OK, true story: A few weeks back, I was on a train and the guy sitting next to me pulled out an iPhone, and I really wished I had one, too. Um, that’s the whole story. It’s how I felt that’s important. I felt deprived. And now there’s nothing I can do about it. I can’t even call Steve Jobs and complain … because there’s a shortage of iPhones. It’s maddening. OH GOD, I JUST WANT TO MAKE ONE CALL! ON AN IPHONE! ONE LOUSY CALL! Maybe I should drown my sorrows in DTV converters or Twitter. Tweet … t-weet … Sigh. It’s just not the same.
