(no subject)

Joe Bob hereby invokes new rules for the media, which must be observed as long as the World Trade Center lies in a heap of rubble:

1. Morning drive-time deejays, with "Wake Up Crew" voices, are not allowed to talk about it.
   
2. Nobody wants to hear about Yasmine Bleeth. She is officially off the media radar screen.
   
3. Paula Poundstone pled guilty to a single charge of child endangerment and made a deal for probation and alcohol treatment. Over. Finished.
   
4. Afro-Man is officially a one-hit wonder.
   
5. No more hour-long specials in which children are coached to ask "heart-breaking" questions. The solution henceforth will be: Don't let them watch the goddamn video footage in the first place.
   
6. Anyone using the phrase "Make no mistake" is a self- righteous idiot.
