Gripe of the week
Why is it that Century Theatres doesn't take credit or debit cards? What year is this? Even hot dog stands are starting to take cards. Get with the program. Oh, but they do have an ATM inside that will make you late and charge you an extra $2 for your movie. Which brings me to my next point: the cost of movies for students. Newsflash! Students are poor. Give us a student discount and it might be worth it to see "Deuce Bigalow 2." They give a discount to the old people, why not the semi-young? Start taking cards and giving discounts and business will boom. It's for your own good, Century.
Newsworthy
Ashton Kutcher has tied the knot with someone much older than him. Ha. But the news of the week is that Kate Moss tried cocaine (gasp). She was subsequently fired from her contract with clothing giant H & M. I thought that drug use was OK if it kept you skinny.
Random Review
These new Burger King commercials with the "king" digitally inserted into football games are pretty funny the first time you see them. So watch them once and maybe a second time to really let them sink in. Then make sure you cover your eyes if you see them come on again. Are there any commercials that never get old? E-mail arts@wildcat.arizona.edu if you think you've got one.

www.mcsweeneys.net. Besides The Onion, there isn't any funnier free content on the Web than this Web site for McSweeney's. With help from literary heartthrob Dave Eggers, they parody pop culture with new humor columns almost daily. For example, here's a recent hilarious one: "Thirty-Nine Questions for Charlie Daniels Upon Hearing 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia' for the First Time in 25 Years."
