In 2004, a remake was planned for the Fox network, with Sherman Hemsley as the voice of Mister Ed, David Alan Basche as Wilbur, Sherilyn Fenn as Carol, and Sara Paxton. The pilot was filmed, but was not picked up by Fox. The show's writer and producer, Drake Sather, committed suicide shortly before the pilot's completion.

Also:

In 2007, it was reported that a housing developer intended to create a community near Tahlequah, Oklahoma built around the supposed final resting place of Mister Ed. It is intended to be themed to the style of the show and its period.[10]

wow, dc.

In April 2011, Warren G and Chris Kanik teamed up to promote a new natural male enhancement supplement called Affirm XL.[citation needed]

Coke II[edit]

In 1985, New Coke was sold only in Canada, the United States, and United States territories, while the original formula continued to be sold in the rest of the world (had the new version been a success it would presumably have been introduced worldwide). New Coke was eventually returned to the company's product portfolio; it was test-marketed in certain U.S. cities under the name Coke II in 1990 and officially renamed Coke II in 1992, despite the company's original intention not to create a second brand. Filmmaker Miranda July is said to have suggested the name of Coke II while working as a tastemaker for an ad agency.[54]

Only teenage tastemaker Miranda July could have come up with such a punchy, happening name.

room full of corbin bernsen types scribbling stuff on pieces of paper, staring at the paper, and then balling it up and tossing it aside. hours of this and then finally from a corner of the office the wunderkind july, "the kid" they call her, looks up from an issue of sassy and says 'hey guys - how's abouts coke II?'. history is made.

In March 2012, The Crown Estate, which owns Regent Street and Heddon Street, installed a commemorative brown plaque at 23 Heddon Street in the same place as the "K. West" sign on the cover photo. The unveiling was attended by original band members Mick Woodmansey and Trevor Bolder, and by Gary Kemp.

I love reading the talkpages of contentious topics. There's some nutters out there. Antivax/alt med topics especially hilarious.

Apparent Sexual Dimorphism(edit)

I'm reinserting my assertions concerning the evident sexual dimorphism in the species in light of the following:
The Chipettes have used suntan lotion in at least one episode of the cartoon series, indicating that their skin is indeed relatively bare (as in humans).
When the Chipettes' midriffs are exposed, their navels are quite visible, while those of the boys are not (they are apparently obscured, as in other fur-bearing mammals).
The Chipmunks navels are visible, they're just never exposed; except once, during "The Chipmunk Adventure" when they are captured by the tribe of primitives.
And finally, the girls have human-like hair on their heads which grows in a variety of colors (brown on Jeanette, auburn on Brittany, and blonde on Eleanor and Charlene), unlike the boys, who have tufts of fur on their heads the exact same color as that which grows on their bodies.
It is obvious that the appearance of males and females differs significantly enough in the Chipmunk species to warrant some discussion.

What I don't understand is that in the new movie, Alvin and the Chimpmunks, The Squeakual, they are teenages!!! This is comfusing to me. Please help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.35.188.115 (talk) 22:27, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Should we do a separate thread, poll or board?

Remember that scene in "Secret of NIMH" where Mrs. Brisby was captured, put in a cage and her cloak was removed?

Yeah, start a poll, that'd be cool, Mark G.

Lyrically, the song features Knowles schooling everyone from their 20s to their 50s. She gets feisty as she reflects on lessons she learned in her own life and affirms that she hasn't certified as a teacher, a preacher or a doctor, but is willing to perform their various duties regardless.

"I can teach but I'm not a teacher..
I can preach but I'm not a preacher
I can doc but etc.

In the original version done with Rotten, the main theme is a power chord riff that goes D, C, D, E♭ (plays with "Belsen was a gas, I heard the other day"). When rerecorded for the Biggs version, that theme is drastically altered to D, C, B♭, C. Thus, the tension of the original version (from the use of E flat in a song based in D) is quite deflated.

So this is baffling: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeg_har_set_en_rigtig_negermand

The really weird thing is that there is no Danish article. Why would you make an article trying to explain away the racist lyrics of a Danish childrens song which nobody knows about to begin with? Needless to say, the three first verses are extremely embarassing.

Gerald Tommaso DeLouise (born April 30, 1940) better known by his stage name Burt Young, is a great American actor, painter and author.

Years after leaving 'The Brady Bunch, Lookinland cut off the end of his index finger with a table saw. The end was deemed too small to be sewn back on, but it has never affected his career.[citation needed]

The incident is referred to in the book Politics and Popular Culture by John Street, Professor of Politics at the University of East Anglia. He says:

"But to read popular culture as a straight forward text is to take a very narrow view of its meaning, and hence of its political message. As we have noted, the text's meaning will depend on how it is heard and read. Michael Jackson may have intended his 'Earth Song' to be an exercise in compassion; others–like Jarvis Cocker–saw it quite differently. One reason these alternative readings emerge is because of the way the performance of popular culture engages more than a literal text, it employs gestures and symbols, tones of voice, looks and glances, all of which might tell a different story".[36]

When he traveled, he invariably brought with him a dog, a monkey, and a life-sized doll. This doll he referred to as "le Petit Comte" ("the little Count") and told everyone that it was his son; he insisted it be brought to him daily, and—when it was absent—he asked about its health. (Stenbock's family believed an unscrupulous Jesuit had been given large amounts of money by the Count for the "education" of this doll.)

And how suspicious does this sound:
He died during a drunken argument with his stepfather, Sir Francis Mowatt, then Permanent Secretary of the Treasury. Stenbock was waving a poker and toppled over and killed himself on the fireplace.[3]

A Conspiracy of Hope was a short tour of six benefit concerts on behalf of Amnesty International that took place in the United States during June 1986.

...

The concert in Denver was the only show that did not sell out, even with most of the top names on the bill. The local promoter blamed the title of the concert for radio stations believing there truly was a conspiracy.

"Freekeh has several nutritional attributes that are comparable to other cereal foods.[7] Some people consider it a superfood.[8] Cancer Research UK say that "the term 'superfood' is really just a marketing tool, with little scientific basis to it".[9] Which explains why the superfood claim here is referenced to Oprah.com, not exactly well known as a source of scientific data."
