King James Song
Clevelanders are so worried that their beloved LeBron James is going to sign with another team that they've gathered up a bunch of local celebrities for a musical tribute a la "We Are the World." Unfortunately, this ridiculous video and song will probably do more to drive King James away.

SUPER 8 TRAILER
The trailer for J.J. ABRAMS' new movie, "Super 8", has hit the World Wide Web of Time-Wasting. (--It's the trailer that's running before "Iron Man 2".)
It's just a "teaser", so not much is revealed. But it's pretty obvious this movie involves ALIENS.
"Super 8" . . . which is being produced by STEVEN SPIELBERG . . . is due out next summer.
VOLVO FAIL
Volvo invited reporters to a demo of their new collision warning system. It's supposed to detect something in front of the car and stop it even if you don't hit the brakes. But the demonstration failed, and the Volvo smashed into the back of a truck.

Come on leave them alone...let 'em blow off a little steam!

THE MARRIAGE SAVING BLANKET
Is flatulence ruining your love life? My friends, look no further than the Better Marriage Blanket, a fart-absorbing wünderspread that means you'll never again have to blame it on the dog. This is a real thing!
Remember, it's got activated carbon fabric: "the same type of fabric used by the military to protect against chemical weapons." You know, in case you're tooting mustard gas.
