Perry Bill Signing

GM-White House Reaction

A new study shows the average G-rated movie makes more money than the average R-rated movie. The news has convinced Disney to scrap the hot nude scene in “Pocahontas II.”

OTB for the Ladies
New York’s Off-Track Betting parlors are starting a new campaign to attract female bettors. One new ad tells women that at OTB they’re sure to find the unemployed, chain-smoking, child-support-owing men of their dreams.

Body parts from an apparent stowaway fell out of the wheel well of an Air South Africa jet this week and fell onto a house in Queens, New York. Investigators actually believe it wasn’t a stowaway, but a passenger who fled the seating area when he heard the in-flight movie was “Monster In Law.”
