For your amusement

A headline that almost appeared in today's paper on a story about the restructuring of the U.S. intelligence system, but which we decided against after realizing its double entendre:
"Bush faces test on intelligence"

A story on a fire at a butter plant that left a town swimming in melted butter: "New Ulm fire butters town, batters plant."

If you really want your faith in the decency of Superman and the comic book industry as a whole shaken, check this out. As far as I can tell, they're real comic book covers, but to say that they are atrocious would be kind. Thanks to Baby Blue for passing it along.

Fortunately Pat Boone is rarely seen on comic book covers these days. Unfortunately John Walsh of America's Most Wanted appeared in a recent issue of The Outsiders (sigh). --Kim
