...Rodent and barely sniffs when both Aleksii and Serge die right in front of him, and then runs off to...play his beloved girlfriend a love song on his guitar?!? O'Toole brings facial and vocal expression to hilarious limits, but without ever falling into the trap of acting crass or melodramatic. His sharply calm, no-nonsense voice melts faster than the Chernobyl reactor in the presence of his sweetheart, the cruel and mocking Katherina Serafima Gleb (Sara Yellen '00).

...example: Dr. Drew listening closely to an embarrassed 21-year-old whose girlfriend has been joking to his friends about the size of his penis. Pinsky handles this painful subject with a quick, matter-of-fact suggestion: Take a closer, more informed look at your abusive girlfriend. After a crass joke from Pinsky's partner, comedian Adam Carolla--there to provide levity--Loveline's newest co-host, Diane Farr, affirms that size, despite what the ads for Godzilla say, is not all it's cracked up to be.

...runs on the University of Idaho's server, makes no overt mention of Microsoft, but the education-oriented promotional material for Microsoft makes the connection clear. While some scholars object--Sheldon Krimsky, a professor at Tufts University, who has been looking into corporate influence on scholarly journals, calls it "crass"--Microsoft contends that it is merely trying to be helpful.
