Here's an interesting story: a mining company wants to dig a coal pit, but doing so would create an eyesore in the community. Their solution is to hire an reknowned landscape artist to design a gigantic nude goddess on the site. She will be called the Goddess of the North, and will be more park than sculpture- visitors will be able to walk all over the gigantic work. I really am looking forward to this.

Christians in the UK are furious over the BBC's decision to air Jerry Springer: The Musical, which offended, it would seem, by offering literal interpretations of bible stories. Go figure.
