Table scraps:

♣WINNER OF THE Lamest Attempt To Pick Up A Girl By Showing Your Feminine Side goes to this guy for shopping himself as an Ani Difranco concert companion.

♣HOW TO PISS off foreigners with a gesture -- uh, I mean, without invading their countries.

♣THOSE SEMI-NEW AOL commercials really suck, don't they? Three cheers for NetZero for taking them on.

♣WHAT DO YOU get when you cross Prince with Ronald McDonald? Obviously, the photo on the right. (On the left is some video of -- well, what the hell is it? Some Japanese McDonalds ad? If so, it's pretty terrible. I don't think "sexy" is the first word inspired by a Big Mac. But hey, maybe heart attacks are sexy now. What do I know?)

♣SO, YOU'VE DIED. Let's review what you did wrong: 1) You bought a lava lamp. 2) You decided to heat it on a stove. I don't think we even need to explain number three.

♣A LETTER OF mine about the pettiness of alt-weeklies was posted on Jim Romenesko's media blog. Soon thereafter, some guy named Mark Fefer's letter was posted, and then people responded to both. Fefer? Feifer? Let's call the whole thing off.
