::: X-BOX ADVERT BANNED :::
One of our favourite adverts has been banned. It begins with a woman giving birth to a boy who shoots out of a window in a surreal sequence. He then ages rapidly as he travels through the air screaming before crashing into his own grave as an old man. The commercial ends with the line: "Life is short. Play more." Following 136 complaints the ITC branded it "offensive, shocking and in bad taste".

::: NEW SUPERHERO MOVIE :::
The Wonder Twins, the Hanna-Barbera animated characters, are to be turned into a family live action movie by Warner Brothers. The Wonder Twins were two rookie aliens that teamed up with Superman and friends in the 70s TV cartoon The All-New SuperFriends Hour. With their defiant chant of "Wonder Twin powers, activate!" and handy ability to communicate telepathically, the duo were a force to be feared.
Scooby-Doo's UK release is scheduled for July 12.

::: FOOTBALL PUB IN A GARAGE :::
If you're always popping to the pub to catch the football - you should consider building your own pub. That's what Brian and Angela Clarke from Wigan, UK have done. When they discovered their new car wouldn't fit the garage they put a pub in instead. It's called 'The Stay Inn' and has real beer pumps, posters, neon signs, tankards and bar stools. Lovely. Meanwhile a pub in Wales has been handing out free drinks for goals scored against England. Read about it here...

More Fat fears! 4 in 10 of us in the UK will be overweight by 2006 due
to poor diet and lack of exercise. Surely this can't help...

Mark's crap joke corner...
A policeman walks over to a parked car and asked the driver if the car
was licensed. 'Of course it is.' said the driver. 'Great, I'll have a
pint then,' said the policeman.
