I realize it's not really planned.
But still, it's a bit off-putting when you peruse your local online news aggregator's home page, and you see this lineup of headlines:
ENTERTAINMENT
• NBC News denies money offer to Hilton 6/22/2007, 10:19 a.m. CDT
• Iran cleric: Rushdie fatwa still stands 6/22/2007, 10:18 a.m. CDT
• Smashing Pumpkins to perform in N.C. 6/22/2007, 10:15 a.m. CDT
• More Stories
Then again, maybe the second story is in there as a tie-in to that new hit show,
Iran's Wackiest Fatwas. Or maybe there's some sort of a Hilton-Richie
The Simple Life-type show shot on location in Teheran. If only we had some word from the Persian counterpart of that great band Smashing Pumpkins, "Smashing The Heads of Demonic Infidels." I hear their concerts are really cool.
Anyway, it's a very odd world.
