A VERY SPECIAL “I HAD A MUFFIN“ ISSUE
world1
CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?
  BEIJING - The Chinese government continued to ease a six-month-old communications blackout on the northwest region of Xinjiang on Sunday by restoring some text messaging services.
  Within ten minutes of the ban lifting half the inhabitants had sent naked pictures of themselves, while the other half downloaded that new Silly Frog ring tone (Have you guy’s head it?  It’s just so funny!).

 

I HAD A DREAM, A SONG TO SING
For our American friends, Today is Martin Luther King jr day, a day in which they celebrate the life of the famed Civil Rights leader by hammering stuff to doors … I think.
  Of course Martin Luther King jr is most prominently known for his famous “I had a dream” speech.  He is less well known for his “I had a daydream” speech, his “I kinda dozed off for a moment” speech and his “Have you guy’s tried this McDLT.  This thing is freakin’ amazing” speech.
 
Please don’t hurt me.
 
AND SO IT GOES
  JOS, Nigeria – Clashes erupted between Christians and Muslims in Nigeria's capitol city of Jos, leaving several dead.
  This is not a repeat from 1095, 1101, 1107, 1187, 1202, 1209, 1212, 1217, 1228, 1248, 1270 or 1271.
  This IS a repeat from 1147 though.

THERE’S NO NAN LIKE CONAN
  HOLLYWOOD – The soap opera that is the Conan O’Brien situation is almost overcoco3 as the Tonight Show host has come to an agreement with NBC to depart the show, giving it back to Jay “Douche Bag” Leno. 
  As part of the separation deal, Conan O’Brien has to part with some of his most loved characters and sketches as they are considered intellectual property of NBC.  So wherever Conan ends up, he will go without popular sketches such as In “The Year 3000” and “Desk Driving” and part ways with popular characters “Pimp Bot” and
“The Masturbating Bear.”
  In unrelated news, NBC has announced that Jay Leno’s replacement at 10pm will be The Masturbating Bear Show.  A nightly comedy/ talk show which will premier after the Olympics.


THIS JUST IN … STOP THE PRESSES … THIS JUST IN
  HOLLYWOOD – Talk show host Jay Leno has announced that he wishes to return to the 10pm time slot, knocking out the newly announced The Masturbating Bear show.  
  In his absence, NBC has announced that the new host of the Tonight Show will be “whoever is hanging out at the time.”  We at CPFOG wish him/her/it the best.
