...president of HRC, said he doesn't know how his organization got the audition tapes - he would only disclose, "I assume someone sent them to us from where the people auditioned." In addition to the casting call videos for the storm ad, NOM's television campaign has inspired a bonanza of YouTube spoofs. See this, this and this...
...timing could not be more ideal. Days after President Obama fired the CEO of General Motors, and instructed GM and Chrysler to fix up fast or drive headlong into bankruptcy, college basketball's annual bonanza, the Final Four, has arrived in the Motor City to provide a much-needed distraction.

"I don't believe it's that big of a bonanza, frankly," says Smith College sports economist Andrew Zimbalist, who predicts an economic impact of about $15 million.

But after an intense mobilization campaign - through citizen councils, churches and Girl Scouts who went door-to-door asking residents why they hadn't weatherized...
...Gazing around the Yard, you can see the many freshman dorms. During the 1960s, social mores shot out the door, and a bonanza of homemade pornography films exploded onto the Yard. Adult video shops are still jam-packed—at least I’m told—with titles like, “Mass Hall: Girls Gone Relatively Wild,” “How Much Are Your Wigglesworth?,” “Green-hos,” “Pennypacker? I Hardly Know Her,” and “Cower...
