German police mocked by Muppet-driven Audi
http://www.autoblog.com/ 2008/ 10/ 28/ german-police-m...Filed under: Etc., Euro The British have been known to "take the piss" out of their German counterparts for several decades now, and that goes well back before World War II. Time to score one for the sceptered isle again: somebody in a right-hand-drive vehicle in Germany has been foiling German speed cameras with a Muppet. German cameras are aimed to get clear pictures of the driver in a left-hand-drive car, but not a shot of the passenger -- who is, in this case, the driver. All they can get is this googly-eyed fellow. Jim Henson must be pleased.

Netcot Podcast #124 - Halloween (dead rides)
http://www.netcot.com/thesite/2008/10/31/netcot-podcast-124-...This week we feature a number of attractions at WDW that are no longer with us (”dead”) and had something about them that was kind of scary. We also look at the top 7 scary things in WDW parks. All part of the Halloween theme! News stories mentioned in this episode: Disney wants to teach children English at their Disney English center which focus not only on English but as they say “the correct American English pronouncation” as well. As covered on Netcot, Pal Mickey will no longer be sold; and the Hall of Presidents will close starting November 1, 2008. A man held a bus driver at gun point and demanded he be taken to Downtown Disney where he later disappeared into the crowd. Disney and iTunes have teamed up to release a number of starer packs for select ABC shows and exclusive previews of ones that have yet to air. A man driving a right-hand-drive Audi has eluded German traffic cameras by placing Animal from the Muppets in the passenger seat - which is where the cameras are focused on since German cars feature left-hand-drive configurations. Both Lance Bass (N*Sync) and Bono (U2) have visited Disney parks recently. Van is endorsing John Cooney for County Commissioner in District 6 of Hennepin County. Finally, an L.A. Times article features an interesting perspective on the upcoming Disney movie, Bolt. Don’t forget to discuss this episode, including your thoughts on the trailers for “Bolt,” and your vote for scary things in parks, at the message boards.
