Queen of Pepsi

While we criticize CNN for the over-sensationalism of news (I do, anyway), let's take a moment to consider the over-suckasization of news on ATV. Tonight, Peter Coade had a graphic of Wilma (a la Flinestones) in the middle of a satellite graphic of the hurricane with the same name. Cue laughter of one camera man, and a look from good ole Steve that said, "You fucking moron. Credible news is now dead. I hate you."

Of course, Frisky Frisko never disappoints, as the pervy poster-boy for the hair club for men.

But my favorite ATV anecdote would have to be of Marianna Ba-chins-kee, long lost Queen of Pepsi. A friend from Cape Breton oncetold me that many years ago, Marianna was crowned as Cape Breton Queen-of something or other. Her honorable duty? To sit in a castle made of Pepsi cans...At the Mall...For hours.

I love that story.
