Quick Hits

A few interesting / stupid news items for today.

The headline says it all: Traveler's Flute Causes Airport Evacuation. And she wasn't even playing it! Q: How do you tune two flutists? A: Shoot one.

Another good one is this story about a mother who was arrested for "disseminating matter harmful to minors." Her crime? The car she used to pick up her 8-year old from school had a stripper airbrushed on the trunk. The car, as expected, belonged to her boyfriend.

The FCC has decided that "fuck" is right out on American television. Reversing an earlier decision, the FCC has changed its mind and concluded that Bono's phrase "this is really, really fucking brilliant" at last year's Golden Globes is verboten on the air.
