 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Wednesday, April 06, 2005 VOL. IV Issue 4E PITA Finds Mascot and Logo Jerry Hinkle, Founder of People Ingesting Tasty Animals, has discovered the perfect Logo to put on PITA t-shirts. It is a mascot called Happy Grillmore. The Holabird Advocate can not show this new logo, as much as we'd like to. Picture in your mind a grill with a face on it, and that's pretty much it. To see if there is a market for PITA t-shirts, we will set up a poll on the Vote Caster page of the Holabird Advocate. Should PITA put out t-shirts, Bernie Hunhoff will get one free, in the event he should want one. Expense will be a factor in PITA's decision. KFC Chicken Burger Too Small For British When is a mini burger not a mini burger? When TV advertisements appear to inflate its size, according to a British advertising watchdog. The Advertising Standards Authority said its own investigation found that the burgers sold a three London KFC outlets had thinner buns, less filling and different lettuce than what was shown in the ads. KFC, owned by Louisville, Kentucky-based Yum Brands Inc., claimed that the burger in the ad was within KFC's standard range of dimensions for the burger, and noted that its name and price, 99 pence (US$1.86) indicated its smaller size. The fast food chain added that the woman used to provide a close-up of the burger in the ad may have had small hands, although she was not chosen specifically for that reason. This is not KFC's first brush with controversy. Earlier this year, Rev. Al Sharpton wanted members of the Black Community to boycott the chain because they were mean to the chicken before they killed it. Yum Brands is a division of Tricon Global, which is one of the Companies in which the Hinkle Brothers Mutual Fund has a stake. Reality Bytes by Ethan Aniston Entertainment Editor Holabird Advocate The Reality TV fad doesn't seem to be going away quite like the so-called experts said it would. In fact, now News Corp is announcing that they intend to offer a new cable channel called "Fox Reality Network". Oh Dear! That means "All reality all the time". This can not be good. First of all, let's be honest. These Reality shows, while some may be entertaining, none of them are at all real. The people involved know they are being filmed, and it shows. Does Rupert Murdoch really think this is a good idea. I hope he's doing it for the tax write-off. But then, horror of horrors. What if this venture succeeds. Oh well, I don't expect that I'll be tuning in. The only reality shows I watch are those clips that Jimmy Kimmel has on his show. That way, if something is good, or at least funny happens, I don't have to sit for an hour waiting for it all to end. There is one show I am spellbound by, other that "Survivor", of course. It's that "Amazing Race". I love watching this show, just to see where the fix is in. I keep hoping Boston Rob and Amber will fight, so that by the end of the race, she'll dump his stupid butt and then I'll have a chance at her. As for a whole cable network devoted to this genre, Let's just say that that's a little too much reality for me. More than I need right now. I mean, TV is supposed to be an escape from reality. Isn't it? Not anymore I guess.
