I keep hearing the voice of Homestar Runner and/or Strongbad when I read text these days. Those are great character voices.

And I have that fhqwgads song stuck in my head, too.

In the next cubicle, a concerned mother is making several phone calls related to an alleged highlighter-graffiti incident with her children. Apparently a key point of evidence is the handwriting and spelling of the name "Kaylee".

Dr. Bill McShaw's Seven Points to Ulti-Max Weight-Losing

I started seeing pop-up ads with Dr. Phil's picture on it, but instead of "Ultimate Weight Loss" or whatever his book is called, they say "Shape Up!" Also, pop-ups don't seem his style; he has too much integrity to put up ads with fake drop-down boxes.

So I click, and sure enough, it goes to eDiets, the same people who cover your Hotmail page with close-ups of women's flat stomachs. Kind of like all those casinos and MLM sites used to put up pictures of suitcases full of cash, as if people would reach through their monitor and try to take it. Anyway, Dr. Phil is markedly absent from this page, though there's an on-close popup where he comes back. The Shape Up plan is, apparently, "inspired by" Dr. Phil's book.

I wonder if they're going to get lawsuited. By the guy who helped to defend Oprah against the mighty Texas beef industry, no less.
