-Caveat Lector- XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX FRIDAY, JULY 16, 1999 12:52:55 ET XXXXX TINA BROWN'S 'TALK' MAGAZINE LAMPOONED ON INTERNET Former NEW YORKER editor Tina Brown's new magazine, TALK, has been viciously lampooned on the Internet -- just weeks before its official launch! http://www.talkmagazine.net is home to what can only be described as one of the biggest, most-detailed lampoons in online history: "Talk is a small child staring out a big window, looking at a dog, or a plane, or a poster supporting the campaign of Hillary Clinton for U.S. Senate. Talk is F. Scott Fitzgerald, Bjork, funny black people, stoic Filipinos and daring Asians. Talk is astronauts and kremlinologists, people who read the New York Times Book Review but don't actually read books, and Helena Bonham Carter. Talk is a foreigner, often a mysterious foreigner, who kills for pleasure. Talk is gay people, and lesbians. Talk is civilians who've slept with celebrities. Talk is celebrities who have died. Talk is celebrities who are more interesting than other celebrities who have died. Talk is celebrities who have died but still sleep with other celebrities, some of whom of have died, others of whom have yet to die, and still others of whom will never, ever die...ever." And that is just the opening paragraph. The site also features Hillary Rodham Clinton interviewing Tina Brown, who could not be reached for comment on Friday. X X X X X KURTZ VS. DRUDGE The WASHINGTONPOSTCNN's Howard Kurtz is set to play a round of mediaball with this reporter on CNN's RELIABLE SOURCES, airing on Saturday at 6:30 PM ET. DRUDGE: "I had to stand back and pinch myself. Was that really the WALL STREET JOURNAL editorial page lecturing me and my DRUDGE REPORT this week about being responsible, less partisan, more detached and more accurate in reporting? I mean, the WALL STREET JOURNAL editorial page lecturing ME on THIS? I was hoping they'd at least accuse me of murdering Vince Foster." X X X X X CALI TOWN SEEKS TO BECOME 'HATE FREE ZONE' Late this week, a group of activists launched a signature drive aimed at using the March 2000 ballot to declare Santa Cruz, California an official "hate free zone" -- the first in the nation. "What I hope is that when people from out of town come here, that they just chill," David Minton Silva, a spokesman for the campaign, told Friday runs of the SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS. "Hate is like litter. Our city is a beautiful place to come, but leave your hate at the city limits and just enjoy yourself." If the measure passes, organizers hope to place signs at city entrances that carry slogans for hate-free-zones. "I think that once we get past the flake factor, people will realize that maybe we can make a serious statement," Silva said. "Heck yeah, I'm for it," one resident, guitarist Frankie Sarro, told the newspaper. "I don't enjoy hate; I enjoy love." ----------------------------------------------------------- Filed by Matt Drudge Reports are moved when circumstances warrant http://www.drudgereport.com for breaks and updates (c)DRUDGE REPORT 1999 DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
