Moving on to other culturally significant bits of stuff:
Phil M. Wannamaker, movie critic for the Sunshine Jen column, announced on Wednesday that he did NOT think the fight scene between Kong and T-Rexes was too long in the Peter Jackson film. According to Phil, 'Kong had to fight three T-rexes, so it's gotta take awhile.' Neither King Kong nor the T-Rexes could be reached for comment.
On Thursday, Happy Happy Books, the publishing wing of Sunshine Jen, announced that the paperback edition of Tim Jackyll's best selling memoir, My Torn Fingernail, a life told in Haiku, will contain a forward from the author stating that some of the nails in the book are indeed fake. However, Mr. Jackyll hopes the reader will still be inspired by his humble tale of life, love, redemption, and band-aids.
Happy Happy Books is also pleased to announce that its next publication will be an anthology of love poems dedicated to over hyped pop stars. Its tentative title is Bras and Panties: Post Modern Love Poetry. The anthology's editor, Edith Wellsit, spent months surfing through fan websites to find some remarkable gems.
One such gem is:
You are so cool
You are so cool
You make me drool
You are so cool.
Note the use of repetition to show the writer's obsessive feelings toward the subject.
Meanwhile, A.S. Honeycutterfield, the oppressed television critic for Sunshine Jen is wondering if House will ever come back to Tuesday night on FOX or will he be left to wallow in the murky swampy hell known simply as Idol. However, A.S. tends to get a little melodramatic sometimes. On Wednesday night, he could be heard shouting 'Ohhhh! So unfair! Oh the injustice of it all!' when Zulema stole Nick's model on Project Runway.
Finally, Daphne, Cherie, and Teenie, the official Sunshine Jen strip and exotic dance team, wish to send out a Ha-a-appy Birrrrrthday to Biff, the best boyfriend ever. Should other best boyfriend evers wish to enlist the services of Daphne, Cherie, and Teenie (they only work as a team), they can contacted via this column.
