The fall of capitalism OR Why you'll soon be getting free music legally

The walls of the American economy are about to come tumbling down.

A start-up company known as Spiralfrog will be offering album quality MP3s for......FREE. The new company is slated to serve iTunes a metaphorical kick in the teeth this December. Spiralfrog, (WTF with the name by the way,) is also backed by monster recording label Universal.

Now Lars Ulrich can still get paid and be not famous anymore at the same time.

Of course, as college students this story receives top billing over, oh...say John Mark Karr having charges against him of murdering JonBenet Ramsey dropped. But did anyone really believe him anyway? Anytime an the ex-wife of an alleged child molester comes to the former husband's defense something has to be horribly wrong.

Also, today is arraignment day, which means the circus is coming to town. Someone has already complained that he shouldn't be expected to know to report because he forgot to check his mail....for a week. Another lady was sent home because her jeans didn't have a back to them and left her underwhelming boxer-briefs fully exposed. And yet another bevy of people decided they didn't need to show up.

What did we learn today? Check your mail regularly and always wear clean underwear.
