Time for the running and the screaming...
-Who'd want it?-
Same-sex couples can now get married in front of Cinderella's Castle at Disneyland or Disney World. Although not a legal marriage in California or Florida, the ceremonies are just as stupid for gay couples as straights. "The service offers flowers, dining, music and many optional Disney touches," the report says, "From ceremonies in front of the parks' iconic attractions to having Mickey and Minnie Mouse in formal wear as guests."

-White House bombs itself-
Googlebomb, that is. It used to be that if you typed the term 'miserable failure' into Google, Bush's White House biography would be the #1 ranked result -- i.e., the first on the list. Google found a fix for that (or thought they did) last year.
Now, if you type in just 'failure,' guess what's #2? The White House bio of George W. Bush. The problem is that the word appears in the bio and there are still a boatload of links out there that link 'miserable failure' and the page. Not helping any are all the pages talking about the googlebombing -- like this one -- and linking to the bio. You'd think that they'd know to avoid words like 'miserable' and 'failure' on the page, but there ya go. (Search Engine Land)
-Family fun night-
A theater in Holtsville, NY is facing some criticism after showing the wrong movie to an audience. Families who'd bought tickets to see 'The Last Mimzy,' a PG rated film, got an unexpected look at the R rated 'The Hills Have Eyes 2.' "[The movie] shows a chained, naked woman giving birth what appears to be a mutant creature," the report reads -- then the money quote, "Some 50 people -- including parents with young children -- began screaming and ran out." The company, National Amusements, gave ticket vouchers to the survivors of this mass panic. Here's hoping they don't have a porn reel in the building when these families come back. (AP)
