Major Interview Scheduled & Gamer Schedules Cleared

1. Earlier this week, the Daily Show revealed that Sean Hannity, when covering anti-health care protests in Washington, actually used protest footage from a previous protest, with a much larger crowd. Hannity never mentioned the use of the footage, though clearly, as pointed out by Jon Stewart, the footage was identical. More frightening is the revelation that Hannity's look of smug, self-satisfaction has been reused again and again since his show's inception.

2. In a new interview, Black Eyed Peas member Fergie says that she is bisexual and that her husband is "well endowed." Fergie tells The Advocate she has "had a lot of fun with women," but that cheating with a woman would be the same as cheating with a man. In other news, a recent study shows that most modern couples see sleeping with Fergie as neither cheating with a woman or a man.

3. It's being reported that President Obama will give an interview with Fox News' Major Garrett, after weeks of speculation that the administration had been previously avoiding the network. The President insists no action has been taken to treat Fox News any differently than other news outlets. So tune in next week when Major Garrett interviews President Obama in the White House wind tunnel.

4. Microsoft announced this week it will be banning up to one million Xbox Live players for modifying their game systems or pirating games, a direct violation of the Xbox Live terms of service. Experts say this may actually increase commerce since gamers will look elsewhere for entertainment. Women in bars are advised to be mindful of a "chalky skin color" and a "faint burrito smell."

5. On Tuesday, the American Medical Association asked the federal government to alter its strict view that marijuana is dangerous and admit that it in fact may have medicinal purposes. Analysts say the endorsement could be a catalyst for spearheading further research into the drug's alternative uses. The AMA could not be reached for comment for the 78th straight day, but music of The Who could be heard through the basement windows of AMA offices.

High five.
