Re: Slim-Fast
Marty,
I wrote Slim-Fast telling them that I would never buy their product
again after dropping Whoopi as a spokesperson. Here's the lovely response I
got.

Thank you for contacting us to share your comments about our relationship
with Ms. Goldberg.
We do read all e-mails and take them seriously. We also appreciate the
opportunity to clarify our
position.
Ms. Goldberg's remarks created a great deal of negative media and consumer
attention and this
affected Ms. Goldberg's ability to positively communicate our message of
weight loss. Because
of this, we decided to conclude the current advertising campaign. Slim Fast
believes its decision
in no way impacts Ms. Goldberg's freedom of speech, now or in the future.
Thank you for taking the time to voice your concerns.

Thanks, Heather!
Jeez, I can just hear Lily Tomplin as Ernestine the telephone operator writing that letter.

In The Mail
Matter Of Security
Felix and I just got back from Club Med in the Dominican Republic. We indulged for 10 days but unfortunately Felix got very sick.
He spent his vacation away from the kids and fun activities, on major meds! Almost a vacation from hell but we managed to still enjoy the beautiful scenary and restless natives....Did I mention the swimmers ear and hives?
Finally time to come home, Miami airport was shut down for a few hours due to bad tropical storms..Made it and went through customs at which point....Homeland Security stepped in and took my passport! No idea why, they would not say.
We were put in a strange room with many refugee looking people, posters on the wall of the "Most wanted", names crossed out with large red crosses...such as Saddam Hussein!
Felix kept asking me why we were in jail!!!! Me answering that we were in a foreign land called Florida where very few things are real and elections are stolen....said it loud and clear!
After an hour they returned my passport and would not comment. Maybe all people who visit site such as Moveon.org, antiwar.com etc. Are on "the list" and subject to harassment? Not a pleasant experience, I was defiant and my attitude was "fuck you", the first amendment being tested.
So, that's what we are up to...back home now and at work to pay for the meds and bills!
Barb
Jeez, Barb.
Barb is one of my pals, Felix is her 8 year-old son, and since they've been home Felix has been hanging on her like velcro.
In person, she's far from mouthy and even further from being a rabble rouser.
I've heard 2nd & 3rd hand accounts, but this is my introduction to anything first-hand.
Hell, I sure feel safer. < /sarcasm>

World Stupidity Awards
Dubya A Big Winner
The November elections may still be ahead of him but U.S. resident George W. Bush came out a big winner Friday - at the World Stupidity Awards.
Bush was a dominating presence at the second edition of the awards presented at the Just for Laughs comedy festival. Host Lewis Black, whose biting satire is a highlight of TV's The Daily Show, took pride in the recognition the United States received at the awards, saying: "we are the gold standard."
Bush took the Stupidest Man of the Year Award and for the second time in the history of the two-year-old awards won the Stupidity Award for Reckless Endangerment of the Planet.
The controversial Texan resident shared in two other awards as the United States was noted for having the Stupidest Government of the Year.
Stupidest Statement of the Year was Bush's pronouncement that "combat operations have ended in Iraq," where fighting still rages more than a year after the U.S.-led invasion to topple Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.
Iraq and the conservative right in the United States figured heavily in the awards, which declared Fox's The O'Reilly Factor the Stupidest TV Show and gave Fox News the nod for Media Outlet Which Has Made the Greatest Contribution to Furthering Ignorance Worldwide.
For the rest, Dubya A Big Winner

Changes to British Version of Memoirs
Bill Clinton
Former US president Bill Clinton reportedly made changes to the British edition of his memoirs to protect himself from that country's much tougher libel laws.
The New York Times reported the changes were made to about a dozen paragraphs of "My Life," most of which involved former special prosecutor Kenneth Starr, who led the investigation of Clinton and his relationship with a White House intern which almost cost the then US president his job.
Sources at Random House, which owns the publishing houses handling the edition in the United States (Alfred A. Knopf) and Britain (Hutchinson), acknowledged the changes in the Times report but did not want to address the motives.

Robert Altman Directing
Garrison Keillor
The quirky characters of Minnesota humorist Garrison Keillor's "A Prairie Home Companion" may be headed for the silver screen.
A cinematic version of the popular radio show is tentatively set to begin shooting in January at the Fitzgerald Theater, with director Robert Altman at the helm, the Star Tribune of Minneapolis reported Saturday.
Keillor wrote the screenplay - about life backstage at the radio show. The movie is expected to star Meryl Streep and Lily Tomlin as a fading sister duet act and Tom Waits and Lyle Lovett as Dusty and Lefty, the singing cowboys.

New 'Star Wars' Title
'Revenge of the Sith'
The final "Star Wars" prequel is just "Episode III" no more. Lucasfilm announced its new title Saturday: "Revenge of the Sith."
The movie, set for release in May 2005, will link the prequels with the original "Star Wars" trilogy by showing how Luke Skywalker's father, Anakin, went from a sweet-natured slave boy to the galaxy-crushing villain Darth Vader. The Sith is the evil sect that corrupts Anakin (played by Hayden Christensen) by drawing him into the dark side of the Force, the cosmic power that balances the universe.
Lucasfilm announced the new title at the annual Comic-Con International, the annual gathering of tens of thousands of sci-fi and superhero fans.

Heading to Vegas
'Phantom of the Opera'
"The Phantom of the Opera," one of the most successful shows in the history of Broadway, has been lured to the desert with the promise of a lavish new theater and a seemingly endless stream of tourists.
Clear Channel Entertainment will produce a 90-minute, $35 million version of the Tony Award-winning musical, set to open in the spring of 2006 at the Venetian hotel-casino, according to a source familiar with the hotel's negotiation.
"Phantom," the latest Broadway show to play Las Vegas, will perform in the space previously occupied by the Guggenheim Las Vegas museum, which closed in January 2003. The casino will pay for the theater's refitting, which is expected to cost about $25 million, the source said.

Hit With Disney Chief
'Fahrenheit 9/11'
Disney chief executive Michael Eisner has seen "Fahrenheit 9/11," the film that The Walt Disney Co. refused to distribute - and he liked it.
"The reason it is a hit is it's entertaining," Eisner said last week. "I thought it was like going to a rock concert. I loved it, but not in a political (sense)."
Eisner has said Disney decided not to distribute the film because its shareholders and customers do not expect it to be a partisan company.

Harassment Lawsuit
'Friends'
The California Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case involving the hit TV series "Friends" that may determine how far TV comedy writers can push the envelope of taste in their private joke writing sessions.
The high court agreed on Wednesday to consider whether a former writers' assistant for "Friends" was sexually harassed by writers through bigoted comments and jokes they made during their meetings to write dialogue.
The writers admitted to joking about sex as part of the creative process in the hit NBC show that dealt with the love lives of a group of New Yorkers.
But through their lawyer, Adam Levin, the writers denied the allegations made by the woman, who is African American, that they also used racial slurs.

Thousands Watch
Royal Cremation
Thousands of Indonesians and foreign tourists flocked to this mountain resort town to witness one of the biggest royal cremations in mainly-Hindu Bali in a quarter century.
Frenzied family members and villagers mounted the 25-meter (83-feet) -high, nine-tiered tower carrying the body of Tjokorda Istri Niyang Muter, the twin sister of the last king of Ubud, in a procession from the royal palace to the funeral ground.
The procession began after a high priest fired an arrow at a giant dragon effigy in a symbolic act to release the soul from worldly desire.
A gamelan orchestra and the smell of incense accompanied the massive procession.
Tjokorda Istri Niyang Muter was the twin sister of Ubud's last rajah, the late Tjokorda Gde Agung Sukawati. Her body had lain in state at the Ubud palace since her death on May 6 at the age of 96.
