Monty Burns The Worker
The voice-over actors for the Spanish version of The Simpsons have gone on strike. The company which hires them has breached its contract by hiring non-union workers, though it claims that because its name has changed the contract is anyway void. Hah.
These actors earn about $40 per episode. Perhaps ironically, the main US simpsons cast struck over pay last year too. Apparently $125,000 an episode wouldn't do...

Gimme Back My Shirt!
Here's a site that takes the piss out of the covers of romance novels.
Nudity Warning: The first thing you see is a big 'man-chest'. It was enough to put me off heterosexuality, and even bisexuality, for good. Didn't take much, though.

Backdown the Bid
A bit for those who don't want London to win the Olympic bid for 2012. Whether, like me, you have no better reason than that you hate the patriotism-chauvinism that develops with every major sporting event on national turf, or whether you have some of the more interesting reasons mentioned on the site, it's a good one to visit right now.
