O is for obvious

Hey, change.org and the Internet peanut gallery, everyone already sees Bert and Ernie as gay icons. If you want stereotype-shattering man-on-man Muppet marriage action, let’s petition for hecklers Statler and Waldorf! —April Corbin, web content editor

Matinee idle

Four movies rented from the Blockbuster Express DVD machine. Four regrets. Should have spent my fiver on a Little Tree freshener and some CornNuts. —Erin Ryan, staff writer

Food plight

Hey, Hard Rock Cafe, I can tolerate the security wand, but making me throw away my leftover club sandwich? Really, how much damage could I have done chucking that thing at Kevin Smith? —Ken Miller, associate editor

Oh, sister

On Sunday’s Meet the Press, Michele Bachmann equated a woman’s subservience toward her husband to “respect.” Um, it is the 21st century, right? Betty Friedan is rolling in her grave. —Mark Adams, listings coordinator

Wanna putt all night

Gene Simmons might be incredibly repulsive, but the idea of a Kiss-themed coffee shop and a Kiss-themed mini golf course in Las Vegas is hard to resist. —Kristen Peterson, staff writer
