PR WATCH

CRAZY LIKE A FAUX

It was apparently just a matter of time. A parody website called
the "Faux News Channel, P.N.N. (Pentagon News Network)" has
received a letter from attorneys for the Fox News Network. The
attorneys object, among other things, to the sale by Faux of "Bill
O'Reilly Hitler Youth" t-shirts. They express concern that people
may confuse the real Faux with the fake Fox ... or is that
vice-versa? Faux responds: "Now isn't that a hoot: to be accused of
'incredibly poor taste' and being 'highly offensive' by a
representative of the network responsible for such benchmarks of
good taste as 'Temptation Island 3,' 'Joe Millionaire' and 'Stupid
Behavior Caught On Tape.' Folks, the irony is so thick around here
you can cut it with a knife."
