NEXT MONTH, News Corp.s FX cable-TV network is expected to broadcast a one-hour special called the World Beer Games. The program, which first broadcasts at 10:30 p.m. June 8, features teams of young men and women from around the world competing for the title of worlds best beer nation and a silver-plated beer-keg trophy. Intent on attracting that hard-to-reach young male audience, the show, sponsored by Interbrew, Beer.com, and Hooters of Canada, is jam packed with lowbrow humor. During one scene, voluptuous cheerleaders decked out in sparkling pastel short outfits demonstrate the beer chug and, little surprise here, end up with very wet shirts. In the pint curl, which involves teams sliding three 20-ounce glasses with 16 ounces of beer down a long bar, one brunette misinterprets the rules and ends up sliding her entire body down the bar.

Nothing at this years Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) prepared spectators for Doom III, the latest first-person perspective shooter from id Software. The jump from Quake III to Doom III is no incremental jump; it is a revolution. The environments in Doom III appear to be a cross between Star Wars and the Industrial Revolution. This is a world filled with iron-sheet walls and industrial winches. It is a world of dark hallways, monsters that would give HR Geiger the creeps, and the kinds of bathrooms you currently find in bus stations. At one point in the demo, the hero of the game runs into a bathroom and witnesses a huge demonic dog tearing a bite out of the corpse of a fat, bald guy. The corpse is pale and has waxy, scarred skin. But in the world of Doom III, alliances change. Within moments of entering the room, the hero is attacked by both the hound from Hell and its corpulent lunch. Theres no ignoring Doom III |

Long distance telephone competition is heating up in the Southeast after BellSouth made a historic move Friday. BellSouth is jumping into the long distance business. Friday morning, BellSouth launched long distance service in a couple Southeastern states and the company promises it will soon follow suit in the rest of the region. For now, customers in Georgia and Louisiana can use BellSouth to call people across the country. Many of those customers already use the company for their local calls, internet access and cell phone services. BellSouth said all of the services are billed on one statement. Many established long distance companies fought the long-distance expansion of BellSouth. AT & T said the move would give BellSouth a monopoly. BellSouth Jumps Into Long Distance |

NEW YORK-It only lasted a few seconds, but on May 17 George W. Bush had a Bill Clinton moment, and it was magical. "Had I known that the enemy was going to use airplanes to kill on that fateful morning," George W. Bush reassured us, "I would have done everything in my power to protect the American people." Did he realize how much he sounded like his prevaricating predecessor? Were the subject something other than the murder of 3,000 innocent people, such desperate dissembling would be absolutely hilarious. Moron Bush or Liar Bush-would one of you please resign? |
