Where Will All the Bad Ratings Go?
Disappointing upper middle class teens and uhh, not many others, television executives announced today that The WB and UPN networks will be shutting down this fall to make way for the launch of "The CW" channel. The CW will target - you guessed it! - young and minority viewers, while hopefully gaining market share on ABC, NBC and the other major network players.
Programming will be culled from both networks. The possibilities for the new lineup are endless:
Everybody Hates Reba - Loosely based on Reba McEntire's life, this comedy explores the trials & tribulations of growing up white in Oklahoma.
Charmed Girlfriends - Witches fo' real.
Living with Veronica Mars - A high maintenance teenager teams up with a much older man (that forgettable guy from Just Shoot Me) to solve neighborhood crimes. Hilarity - and love - ensue!
Gilmore Girls Smackdown! - Witty mothers & daughters wrestle each other...with words!
America's Next Top Superhero - Famed characters use their intelligence, physiques and heroic abilities to determine who will be...America's Next Top Superhero.

Nickel Back
The U.S. Mint debuted the long-awaited, shiny new nickel today, featuring a face-forward, smiling Thomas Jefferson.
Each time eye contact is made with the bedazzling coin, one American will *poof* forget that the former President was a slaveowner with illegitimate children. Ahhh...government magic!

Top 5 Favorite Famous Dead People - 2005 Edition
I apologize for neglecting the I Eat Rice.com site for so long. Important matters like work, travel, the birth of a new nephew, vacation, Christmas shopping, and DVR left me little time for posting.
To begin anew, I'd like to commemorate the passing of 2005 with a brand new list: My Top 5 Favorite Famous Dead People of the Past Year.
 1. Peter Jennings: Hottest news anchor, although Brokaw and Coop are close seconds. |
 2. Luther Vandross: Velvety silky smooth. And his voice was amazing too. |
 3. Pat Morita: Alcoholic, but still my Asian brother. Wax off. Wax off. |
 4. Nipsey Russell: Ease on, ease on down the road. |
 5. Pope John Paul II: 'Cause I don't want to go to hell. |

Beautiful Baby Alert
Rumor has it (no pun intended) that Angelina Jolie is pregnant with Brad Pitt's baby. The new baby will fulfill the role of "Gorgeous Caucasian Child #1" in their Benetton family.
The world applauds.
