It appears that an internet provider in Australia messed up a link it provided to the website of ‘Australian Idol’ winner Casey Donovan (www.caseydonovan.com.au) by missing the .au from the end. I don’t recommend checking out the alternate link, as the .com site is a tribute to a dead gay porn star who… well, I think the article says it best:

[the site] features a naked frontal picture of the erstwhile adult star. A government source looking into the matter described an aspect of the picture of Mr Donovan as “frighteningly large”.

Target seems to have increased its range of products. Or is that services? The listing isn’t clear. In case the page is pulled:[[image:massage_copy.jpg:No picture?!:center:0]]Note, 10% off (buy two!), and it’s filed under entertainment.

Hat tip to Mark.

CNN has a pre-story (i.e. a story about news that hasn’t happened yet, and for that matter won’t really be news when it does) about the top 100 movie quotes. I’d like to nominate Trinity’s quote when she shoots the agent during the rescue of Morpheus:

Dodge this.

I think somebody needs to point out to the AFI that the line “Houston, we have a problem” was kinda by Tom Hanks, but was really by Jack Swaggert (and I believe is actually “Houston, we’ve had a problem here.”

Update: Yes, I know Trillian is an IM client, not a character in The Matrix. Honestly.

Having seen this:[[image:cnn.jpg:Finger next to the pulse:center:0]]I sent the following to CNN:

We are actively waging war in Iraq, with thousands of US soldiers putting their lives on the line *right now* in Falluja, and the website’s top story is that some guy who may have killed his wife is about to be sentenced. Really? That’s honestly the most important thing going on? The murder of one spouse (or boy/girlfriend) by another is something that happens on average 3 or 4 times per day in the US, whereas we rarely get more than 1 or 2 wars per day, but the top story is a rather unpleasant example of the sadly routine, rather than a battle that could help determine the security of the entire Middle East (and 300 million people here)?

I was just checking into DSL providers, and found that SBC have a subdomain that deals with their DSL business. The domain name is “dsliot”. Nice to see the classics making their way into IT.
