But you know what would redeem it? A video of the Playboy playmate search that recently went down in Dallas. Man, if we only had such a video. Hmm …

    Is their recent talent search related to their Girls of the Olive Garden model search? Maybe they hired Miss EVOO herself, Amber as a head scout?

    I’m delighted someone else recognized that at least one-third of Hefner’s polygamist cult is white-trash.

    And yes, it’s probably three-thirds.

    I feel the sorriest for the middle child. She seems the dumbest of the three.

    you’re not alone, jrp. My roommate and I were cursing the TV. The storms hadn’t even gotten to Ft. Worth yet! Do a scroll. Or even picture in picture. Grr.

    Us too. The wife and I went to hulu.com last night to see if NBC had them up online yet, but not until today, they said (they’re there now).

    BTW, despite JAM’s near-constant exortations, I’d never been to NBC5i.com before last night. As my web-developing wife observed, that site looks like somebody barfed all over it. I know this “new media” slash “user-generated-content” world has the old-world media folks all discombobulated, but NBC5i and the DMN’s sites have to both make the Top 10 list for how not to be. Yuck.

    tru dat
    and old media insists weather is what the people want but it’s what old people want
    and least new media provides different ways to see the content, a la hulu
