If it's Sunday it must be Big Double-A-Scribble Time:

1. The Crainiacs offer another wearying excuse for buzzwords:

The 2010 Census is expected to find that 309 million people live in the United States. But one person will be missing: the average American.

"The concept of an 'average American' is gone, probably forever," demographics expert Peter Francese writes in 2010 America, a new Ad Age white paper. "The average American has been replaced by a complex, multidimensional society that defies simplistic labeling."

I doubt if there's been an "average American" since the first Indians arrived. Why try making a vice out of a virtue?

2. The Crainiacs offer another wearying press release for that cutesy-pie bad-grammar cat site -- but some other Crainiac (yes, that Crainiac) gets his revenge:

I Blame Twitter for the Fact That I Totally Hate Kittens

3. Some of the folks who made His Omnipotence an honorary EU member think they can stop binge drinking by stopping the ads. OR:

In France, there has been a long-time TV ban on alcohol advertising, yet the binge drinking culture is beginning to permeate French society, which has had a reputation as the home of moderate drinking.

Sorry to repeat myself, but the only thing that will stop European binge drinking is minarets.

4. Moon 'n' Stars is producing a magazine, which is better than producing junk television.
