Dirt from the past
The Al Bore campaign
may be gratified and perhaps a little relieved to see this month's issue
of National Geographix, which is issuing its first report from the
$50 million federal grant it received last year to study Buddist political
history. The initial findings are indeed surprising—it
appears that Buddists have a weird compulsion to contribute massive donations
to politicians. Their first recorded campaign contribution was to a member
of the Siamese Democratic Party in the year 800 BC. The beneficiary was
Hoo Me, a brilliant and popular leader of unshakeable integrity who tried
to decline the contribution. But the Buddists tricked him into taking it
in the form of checks written in invisible ink by legions of nuns. And
so it goes...

They've been telling us for quite a while now that men
have to stop lusting after the ectomorphic rarities which predominate in
advertising and show business images of women. Part of the solution is
to start showing us images that are more, uh, real. Now we have the premier
issue of the first high-fashion mag for women who buy their clothes in
factors of X: 2X (2 times normal size), 3X, etc. The time has therefore
come, gentlemen, to start learning how to lust for LARGE. The swimsuits
featured in this publication may or may not represent an effective first
step. On the plus side, it's probably safe to say you have never seen more
exposed skin on a bathing suit model. On the other hand, it's kind of daunting
to realize (pun intended) that there really might be such a thing as too
big a breast. You be the judge. Maybe after a cruise through these pages,
you'll start wishing that Candy Crawford
splinter could gain a few hundred pounds and start looking good for a change.
Maybe not. But be advised. Somewhere in this great nation, some politician
is already drafting legislation that would make it illegal for a male to
refuse to be aroused by a real-sized woman...
In case you were wondering about this important question, rival newsweeklies Newsprint and Type both undertook to answer it in the aftermath of her stint with Dave Kutterman, based on polls of average Amerians and top humor pundits. The answer seems to be yes, although Type seems more certain about this than Newsprint. Surprisingly, men find her more 'hillerious' than women. Sixty percent of males said they considered Hillery either very funny or absolutely ridiculous, as opposed to ten percent of female respondents. On the flip side, a whopping eighty percent of women said they took Hillery seriously, compared to thirty-eight percent of the men. The experts were generally complimentary. Kutterman said, "I couldn't have written better material myself," and Jay Lamo added that Hillery's top ten list was "as rib tickling as they usually are, maybe more so." Comedy star Helen DeGenerous gave a thumbs up too, offering the comment that "Hillery's good enough to have her own sitcom—provided she doesn't say anything to piss off the straights." Sitcom king Jerry Seinfool was more reserved, however: "Hillery? Funny? I didn't know about that. When did that happen? Hillery? Are you sure?"
