- First reader to make a turkey centerpiece out of tampons (via Gorillamask) and photograph themselves in front of it at the dinner table will get a very special BWE.tv prize.
- Stephen King says that anyone who reveals the ending of The Mist "should be hung from their neck until dead". So here it is: the main character is actually a woman, and dead. Suck it, King!
- Noah Baumbach writes a Zagat's History Of His Last Relatinship for The New Yorker that's a scrumptious all-you-can-eat bon mot buffet of highbrow hilarity.
- Disney has discovered a magical new way of generating original comedy material while the writers are on strike.

If you missed it last year when TBS looked at the funniest commercials from around the world, don't worry, the network is gearing up once again to do the same thing. On December 27 at 9 pm TBS will air Funniest Commercials of the Year: 2006, hosted once again by Kevin Nealon. Over fifty ads will be showcased during the special, and you can also visit the TBS site Very Funny Ads and vote on ten select ads, which should help to alleviate some of the guilt you might have felt for not voting in the midterms. This is the third year for the special, which I believe was inspired by the classic Funniest Daguerreotypes of the Year: 1840. I'll never forget how hard I laughed seeing James Fenimore Cooper reading a copy of The Pathfinder upside down. Such buffoonery had never been seen by the likes of me or my kin, I can tell you that for sure. I laughed so uproariously I almost tripped over the dead bodies of all my family members who had keeled over from consumption the week before. Those were good times.

The movie tells what might have been the real story of Beowulf, adding in all kinds of juicy secrets that the original writer of the epic would never have been privy to. It also adds a few things in that tie the three great battles of the Beowulf tale into a single plotline. It might have been kind of cool if there were some substance to the embellishments, but in the end theyre basically just an excuse to turn Grendels mother into Staceys mom.
The French commentary says : This is 300metres away from the finishing line. The runner makes a mistake and goes straight on into the path of a moving tramway which hits him head on. They then talk about the fact that there were no barriers closing the route at the most dangerous part of the race, and nobody is prepared to take the blame. He is taken to hospital hovering between life and death.
I do not know what happened to him, I suppose he recovred.

The mayor of Batman, an oil-producing city in southeast Turkey, is
suing Warner Bros. and Dark Knight producer Christopher Nolan in a lame attempt to
get mentioned on every "wacky news" section on the internet pursue financial compensation for the damaging impact the film had on the coincidentally-titled city's citizens:
The mayor is prepping a series of charges against Nolan and Warner Bros., which owns the right to the Batman character, including placing the blame for a number of unsolved murders and a high female suicide rate on the psychological impact that the film's success has had on the city's inhabitants.
Whoa, what the hell? Why would citizens be committing suicide after
The Dark Knight and not after
Batman & Robin? Actually, how do we know the citizens aren't still committing suicide because of
Batman & Robin? I even considered killing myself after seeing that movie. If I'm the producers' attorneys,
here's my Exhibit A.
Hopefully, this ridiculous lawsuit won't inspire the mayors of Casablanca, West Matrixtown, and Lordoftheringsburg to do the same.
