The First YouTube Election
YouTube is also a tempting launch pad for political mischief because it is effectively unregulated by the Federal Election Commission, whose Internet rules apply only to paid political advertising. Videos on YouTube don’t have to disclose their source or include an on-air approval from a candidate — two requirements for political TV and radio spots.

Paris Hilton CDs doctored
Record chain HMV said Sunday it had pulled from shelves several copies of Hilton's "Paris" album that appeared to have been doctored by British graffiti artist and prankster Banksy.The doctored version includes a topless image of the celebrity heiress, as well as a picture in which she sports the head of a dog. A sticker advertises the album's "hits" -- "Why am I Famous?" "What Have I Done?" and "What Am I For?"Instead of Hilton's perky pop, the CD inside features 40 minutes of remixed music by a musician identified only as "DM."Banksy's spokeswoman, Jo Brooks, said the artist had hidden 500 copies of the altered album in record stores across Britain."They're very subtly done and do look like the original albums," Brooks said.

man selling Gilligan's original S.S. Minnow
If you want to own an icon of television history, George Schultz of Parksville, B.C. has a deal for you: the S.S. Minnow from the 1960s television series Gilligan's Island."There have been a couple of modifications, so it doesn't look exactly like the original," said Shultz, a boat broker who's selling the 36-foot Wheeler Express Cruiser for fellow Parksdale resident Scotty Taylor. "But it's still the original boat."There were four Minnows used on the sitcom, Shultz said, but three others were props. This is the one they used for taking shots out on the water, he said.
