The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - A Yahoo! Movies Exclusive

As if the Doctor Who teaser wasn't enough...
BBC - Cult Television - Doctor Who - The Official Site

Ooh! First new teaser (for the press) for the new Doctor Who series, with the first chance to hear Christopher Eccleston as the new Doctor! (And, in about a week or so, the blog entry I sent by email will probably turn up saying more or less the same thing...)
Again, for anyone who got all atwitter at the merest glimmer of any teasers or trailers for the endlessly epic Lord of the Gnomes trilogy, imagine my excitement at this first new Doctor Who teaser at http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho/.  And that's from watching it on a computer without any speakers.  (Apparently, we get to hear the new Doctor speak!)
So CVS Pharmacy, the big evil congolomerate chain, now has one-time use digital cameras, with a coupon on their web site. And while I'm probably not supposed to support them, this may be the best way for me to show off my new front yard...
More Misleading Abstinence-Only Programs...
Some Abstinence Programs Mislead Teens, Report Says (washingtonpost.com): "Many American youngsters participating in federally funded abstinence-only programs have been taught over the past three years that abortion can lead to sterility and suicide, that half the gay male teenagers in the United States have tested positive for the AIDS virus, and that touching a person's genitals 'can result in pregnancy,' a congressional staff analysis has found. "

And this is why I find it so hard to get up in the morning...

United Church of Christ News Release: Still Speaking Ad Campaign Launch

Apparently, NBC and CBS are refusing to air this ad. According to the Progress Report:

"In a letter to the UCC, CBS is refusing to air the advertisement because the commercial 'touches on the exclusion of gay couples and other minority groups by other individuals and organizations.' Also, CBS found the ad 'unacceptable' because 'the Executive Branch has recently proposed a Constitutional Amendment to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman.' NBC similarly declared the ad 'too controversial.'"

God bless Amerika.
I just watched a big truck dump all the rocks for my new front yard into the stret in front of my house. This may have been the coolest thing I've ever seen...
