God needs a good (pr) person

It's tiny, but it's an ad for a pr person for the weather channel.

in these tough times, it's good to know that some jobs are still available. But this seems like either the easiest job in the world or completely impossible.
Either: "You have to watch it, it's weather."
or: "I know weather sounds boring, but it might rain tomorrow somewhere."

"It's weather. It might rain, these guys can tell ya."
That's for free.

Let's be honest

Herman Melville knew it was funny to put the word "Dick" in his title. He must have thought it would move books. Besides the great writing. It was an insurance policy. What a perv.

Keep it Classy CNN

Way to report the news! I like how they don't say this is a wacko but imply it with the "hand written" part.

Bad timing TMZ ads

Leno Show Gets Format

Finally, the answer to the biggest question in TV broadcasting: "What's the format for the new Jay Leno show?"

NBC will be using their infamous show "Pink Lady and Jeff" as the new format.

"Pink Lady and Jay" will launch on September 14th.
"Now that Leno left, on his own, with no prompting, just left the Tonight Show," said one exec who asked to left unnamed and slightly miss quoted, "We needed to give him something new. So we did what we've been doing for the past three years, given him something old."

Yes, NBC has decided to re-use an old format. "NBC was once known for it's variety shows," continued the sweaty exec, "And then our dramas and then our sitcoms and after successfully killing that golden goose, we are ready for a come back. At a modest price."

"We've recently remade shows like Bionic Woman, American Gladiator, Knight Rider and others with mixed results," continued the chatty exec, "By mixed I mean some died right away, others took a second."

Leno has been quoted, "Aw shit. Really? Ok. Yes. Fine. Ok."

"Pink Lady and Jeff" is owned by Ben Silverman who said he had no idea he owned that property when he green lit it.

TOLDJA!

Nikki Finke seems to be running out of things to write about. Typically her "TOLDJA" feature on her column is filled with real Hollywood insight. Today she seems to be reaching at straws.

Thanks to Youtube good bits don't have to go unnoticed. A very funny video for a talk show pilot can now see the light of day, even if the show will not. Enjoy...
