Lisa Lewis and Other Choice Links

Local attention-seeker: She started out as a streaker at the rugby, then she rocketed to fame when she was used by Oliver Driver for Alt TV’s short-lived publicity stunt Naked News Flash, and now Lisa Lewis has been kicked out of Brisbane’s Sexpo for being too raunchy (oh, and she broke her snoz on a faulty pole and wants to sue). “I kept my G-string on and feel I was classy throughout,” she tells the Courier Mail. “She was wearing a G-string but she was putting her hands in her underpants,” said Sexpo general manager Rob Godwin.
Web: You must, must, must click on this new online innovation. The screen cleaner.
Strange Business: I think the first thing rich men will be cutting from their budget is the allocation for Eye Candy Caddies
News-rage journalism: Editing the Herald is a blog “dedicated to getting angry at things printed in each day’s New Zealand Herald. I’ve been doing it for years (getting angry, that is) so I thought that I may as well write some of it down.” Now the blogger, identified only as James, has his own pre-recorded segment on bFM.
Geek: Hacking your VCR.
Conchords Press: A snippet of the interview with Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement in NY Times Magazine, out this Sunday, as leaked via Jezebel.com . On living in New York…
“Bret: [New York is] a good city if you want to struggle. It’s easy to struggle in New York. I think New York is a bit expensive. It’s too expensive to hang out unless you’ve got a TV show.”
And on Obama’s stimulus package: “Jemaine: Budgeting.
Bret: Yeah, the government should do a budget.
Interviewer: I believe we already have a budget.
Jemaine: It doesn’t seem like it … maybe the American government could get a second job.
Bret: A part-time job. Or maybe the government should get its own TV show.”
Video link: Target: Women satirises vapid lady advertising and programming — this week it’s all about skin care.
Video: Trying to be balanced, this PSA inadvertently does a nice job of endorsing the upside of cocaine. “With that many users, it must have something going for it,” says the presenter.

Didnt listen to a single thing he said. I was stuck on his 80’s hair and the faux-concerned expression on his face

By the way, when you were summarising La Lewis’s CV, I think you forgot to mention that she was also a lady of negotiable affection at one point…

15 minutes of fame. At least she got hers. I’m still looking for mine.
