Boners (brought to you by a taco)
1. "This Coincidence Was No One's Fault, So You're Suspended": An electronic billboard in Alabama featured an advertisement for a local news program. The billboard featured the two anchors and the weatherman. The billboard also incorporated a live feed from the news station's Twitter account. Unfortunately someone posted, "Three accused of gang-rape in Monoreville," to the Twitter feed, which was picked up by the billboard. Passersby were able to snap photographs of the billboard, which seemed to some to indicate that the people on the billboard were so accused. Admitting that it was just a misunderstanding and coincidence, the station rationally suspended two employees for a week without pay.
2. "Y Fans. U Fans. You're All the Same." Pictures in today's Salt Lake Tribune and Deseret News show a BYU fan at the Saturday Game seeming to attack and grab the wife, as well as scare the daughter of University of Utah coach, Kyle Whittingham.
3. "I'm Calling For a Ban on Swiss Army Watches" The Government of Switzerland has unexpectedly banned the inclusion of minarets on Swiss buildings. Minarets are a piece of architecture typically found on Islamic mosques. The move is widely seen as an attempt by the far-right members of the Swiss government to crack down on the so-called "Islamisation" of Europe.
Fanatical football fans are Boners of the Day.

Scrubs returns, without the stars. It's still mostly Scrubs. The liquor cabinet has been filled and the kitchen loaded with cast-iron pans for the return of The Bad Girls Club. Sons of Anarchy finales. It's a trashy show, but enjoyable. Henry Rollins will stare someone down. Steven Seagal is a Lawman, for reals. TruTV will show The Governator Jr., Jesse Ventura, in a new show called Conspiracy Theory which will get to the bottom of weather control, thermite paint (Author's note: Which is not explosive, but sounds impressive), and a host of other bat-sock. Jersey Shore shows the guidos and guidettes of New Jersey. If they don't like the stereotypes, they should change. Dollhouse starts to burn off their final episodes, two at a time. Monk is finally over. The Syphie channel has a new mini-series based on Alice in Wonderland. Watch Kathy Bates and Mr. O'Brien overact.
Best Question of the Week
"What TV show would you want to be trapped in for a month?" Kerry? Star Trek: The Original Series? No. Deep Space Nine of course! They have a bar, and holosuites, and Kerry can spend the month trying to get his quarters into Dax! Bill would like to be in Mad Men. He could take up smoking again and drink all day. Gina wouldn't mind being in Mad Men as long as that good looking Don Draper promised to cheat on his wife with her. Richie would really like to be on Glee, or maybe MASH, or, or, or.....better...After MASH.
8 Million Rules for Being a Gina
Gina lives her life by studies - as long as the studies back up her own preconceived notions of how the world should work. Gina has all kinds of weird rules. She won't eat anything home-cooked because there was an incident. She has a policy and she never breaks it, unless there is s'more pie - but fortunately Kerry and Bill were there to stop her. Gina doesn't care for carrot cake because it has vegetables in it. Dessert should never be made with vegetables, and rarely with fruit. Gina likes a chocolate cake, and even a white cake, as long as nobody put any of that damned raspberry jam inside of it. Jam is not for dessert; it's for toast. OH! OH! Do you know what Gina tried? Joe brought home some "Lemon Curd" and made Gina try it. He was pretty sure she wouldn't like it because it had "curd" in the name, but Gina really liked it! It was really good! Gina just thinks that they should change the name to "Lemon Spread", which was Bill's favorite vaudeville dancer. Nancy Grace apologizes for "the incident", but he really though they would enjoy the LSD and razor blade laced popcorn ball.
