Latest edition of the Dilbert Newsletter is out!. However since it just came 2 seconds ago, is not currently online. Check out Dilbert.com later on in the week. Temp. following is an excerpt:
TOLEDO, OH � Angered at years of paying an allowance to their 12-year-old son Teddy and receiving “almost nothing” in return, Jack and Doris Benjamin decided to sue. Jack explained, “We expected him to be cuter and maybe say the darndest things. We got zippo. Sometimes when my co-workers would be talking about how funny their kids were, I’d have to steer the conversation back to work-related topics so I wouldn’t be embarrassed.” Doris Benjamin summed it up this way: “Teddy just isn’t professional. We pay him and we expect him to provide some sort of entertainment. It was funny when his bike hit the pothole and he landed on his back in the poison ivy, but that was like one time in 12 years.”

Whoa… just came across this forum discussion on USL. hmm. What I dont get though is, if following the agruments of those against the movie… every single movie which has ever remotely even alluded to death should be banned.
Five minuter break. Been watching some trailers off ifilm. Some reviews:
The United States of Leland - Definately going to watch this. Mind games which are always interesting. Takes one thought process Soundtrack seems nice too. Also with Kevin Spacey it has got to be worthwhile. One of my all time favourite actors.
Around the World in 80 days. Disney Version. Looks stupid. I think I spotted Jackie Chan in their somewhere.
The Punisher - Only big time actor I could make out was John Travolta. The movie looks… like standard fare. The usual shooting, wise cracks and the like. Prob. entertaining. grin.
Following… is typical CFS stuff. Sometimes they actually manage to achieve something worthwhile instead of just hollering about it. This, however dunno.. I personally think without corporate sponsership, ours fees would go skyhigh and really beyond reach. But sigh.. apparently the other side feels they are the devil incarnate.
