...After the wrestling robot attacked, we removed the robotic votes and reposted the tallies with Mr. Foley no longer in the top 20. All was quiet for several weeks until a large web site devoted to the grapplin' game caught wind of the story and whipped legions of loyal fans into a frenzy by misquoting a TIME spokesman as saying that we had removed Foley because "he had made no significant contribution to society." Needless to say, this enraged wrestlemaniacs the world over, and thousands of angry e-mails flooded in from all over the country. "Time SUCKS!, Foley ROCKS...
...However, after Esteban's death, Almodvar supplies the pretentious and melodramatic art film twist, losing the faith of anyone aside from the loyal film aficionado. Manuel donates Esteban's heart and goes to Barcelona in search of Esteban's father, a transvestite originally an Esteban himself but now Lola the Pioneer.

Wal-Mart has long had a policy of banning so-called stickered CDs, those carrying a warning label that the content might not be suitable for children. But Godsmack was stickerless, so Wal-Mart stocked it, until Clarke hollered...
...whole way through. It's all one big bomb of a joke. See, Thomas Harris is a clever guy. He has no designs on being a literary superstar--a John Grisham, a Jackie Collins, a Stephen King--who churns out crap every year to please his publishers and loyal audience. Harris, for all we know, is sick to death of these characters that have pigeon-holed...
