Dan Brown Scores Again

Posted on June 17th, 2006 at 10:26 by John Sinteur in category: Joke

Dan Brown has been delighted by people calling for a boycott of the film made out of his book The DaVinci Code, realising that there’s no way he could buy that kind of publicity.

Hoping to benefit from such attention again, he’s already started on his next book, The Mohammed Deception.

Fans in onderbroek op tribune

Enkele honderden Oranjefans hebben de wedstrijd Nederland-Ivoorkust noodgedwongen in hun onderbroek moeten bekijken. Zij droegen de beruchte leeuwenhose van bierbrouwer Bavaria, maar daarmee werd hen de toegang tot het stadion in Stuttgart geweigerd. Hoofdsponsor Budweiser staat namelijk geen reclame toe van concurrerende bierbrouwers in het stadion. De fans kozen eieren voor hun geld en besloten de broek bij de toegangspoorten achter te laten. Gevolg was wel dat zij in unterhosen de voetbalthriller moesten aanschouwen.

Smithsonian removes electric-car exhibit

Just weeks before the release of a movie about the death of the electric car from the 1990s, the Smithsonian Institution has removed its EV1 electric sedan from display.

The National Museum of American History removed the rare exhibit yesterday, just as interest in electric and hybrid vehicles is on the rise.

The upcoming film “Who Killed the Electric Car?” questions why General Motors created the battery-powered vehicles and then crushed the program a few years later. The film opens June 30th.

GM happens to be one of the Smithsonian’s biggest contributors. But museum and GM officials say that had nothing to do with the removal of the EV1 from display.

A museum spokeswoman says the museum simply needed the space to display another vehicle, a high-tech SUV.

Riiiiight.
