GOVERNMENT TO GO AFTER PAY TV, MISS AMERICA GOES REALITY SHOW, COSPLAY'S NEXT STEP, WENDY'S WORLD!
Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Ted Stevens said on Tuesday he would push for applying broadcast decency standards to cable television and subscription satellite TV and radio. Stevens said he disagreed "violently" with assertions by the cable industry that Congress does not have the authority to impose limits on its content.

Last year, ABC dropped the show completely after abysmally low viewership. But the annual scholarship contest (thinly disguised as a babe parade) may be on the verge of an extreme makeover.
The New York Post reports that the pageant has signed a deal with the William Morris agency and plans to come back to the boob tube as a reality show! For a series of six or seven episodes, film crews will train their ruthless lenses on contestants in regional competitions - think "Miss Congeniality" meets "The Bachelorette" - as they hone their interview skills, tone their glutei, and cry with joy and/or despair on their way to the live finale. Dollers are people who don't just wear the clothes and face mask of the animated character they dress up as, but try to live as the character as well.
There are things about Japan I may never get....when you get to the link, click on the photo for more photos. LET’S ROCK AGAIN! is a one-hour music documentary following rock icon Joe Strummer as he tours across America and Japan.
After a montage of Strummer’s glorious past with the seminal rock band the Clash, we are treated to a slice of life eleven years later on the comeback trail. Strummer’s main objective is simple -- to get his music out to the people and break his record even so that he can have another chance to rock again. This is achieved through photo shoots, magazine interviews and press appearances. In his humble quest, we even see Joe handing out flyers on the boardwalk and making a blind visit to a radio station in order to get his latest cd on the air and attract fans to his concert. Live performances feature songs from the Clash as well as material written with his new band, the Mescaleros. http://dickrude.biz/LetsRockAgain.html Efforts to defend the US against bioterrorists - by throwing money at research - are backfiring, says a 750-strong group of top scientists The US has poured billions of dollars into biodefence research since its anthrax attacks in 2001. More than half of the US scientists studying bacterial diseases have this week written to the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) - their main funding agency - charging that the largess has created "a crisis for microbiological research". http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn7074
