My name is Chris White, and I approved this list.
April 30, 2004


~~~ NOTE FROM CHRIS: ~~~

Presidential candidate John Kerry threw away his
combat ribbons some 30 years ago at a Vietnam War
protest, but apparently kept his combat medals.

Ooooh... a scandal!

Or is it? Back in the day, we had MAJOR scandals!

We had Watergate! We had Iran-Contra! We had BC
getting a BJ from ML in the OO! THOSE are scandals!

If Medalgate is the best we can come up with
nowadays, then I'm embarrassed for my country.
I may have to move to some foreign land where
they know a good scandal -- like Neverland Ranch.


The Top 5 Other Manufactured Controversies


    1. Alex Trebek insinuates that Pat Sajak is disregarding the rules by not requiring contestants to buy the "Y."

    2. "The L.A. *Lakers*? Is Los Angeles known for its lakes? Shouldn't a sports franchise's nickname at least have some tangential connection to its host city's unique local culture? We think so. We are the Utah Jazz, and we approved this message."

    3. Producers of "The Simple Life" claim they have video proof that Paris Hilton was *not* a virgin when they hired her for the show.

    4. Elton John starts a nasty rumor that fellow adult-contemporary artist Sting once played in a rock and roll band.

      and the Number 1 Other Manufactured Controversy...

    5. Mary-Kate Olsen accuses sister Ashley of being a no-talent bimbo trading on her looks.
