...North Carolina comedians Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal, say they have a camera and plenty of ideas - they just need a business to film. They've produced six spots so far, for establishments ranging from a cosmetology school to a Cuban gynecologist turned car salesman. (Really.) The results are predictably absurdist, and local businesses have proved more than happy to play along - several hundred have nominated themselves for a spot...
...creators of Zombieland - writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick and director Ruben Fleischer, all of whom have worked for MTV - know this. They start with a premise that sounds like a horror-comedy remake of National Lampoon's Vacation.

Congressional JockeyingThe House Committee on Energy & Commerce had their own dig at party politics at the recent hearings, displaying a mock vintage movie poster featuring Scarlett and Rhett's classic pose with the caption "H.R. 4943 Gone with the Wind." (You have to be a Congressional aide to appreciate the humor.) They were referring to the Committee's pretexting bill, Prevention of Fraudulent Access to Phone Records Act, which they approved last May only to see it disappear from...
