blah blah update blog

Here are some updates on some recent blog topics. Enjoy.

1. As noted on Monday, there are big differences between You Tube and Google Video. In today's article discussing the relative merits of various contribution-based internet sites, Slate agrees with me that You Tube is the more user-friendly option.

2. Alec Baldwin might have been in trouble yesterday, but today, the news is all about his brother Daniel being arrested for cocaine possession.

3. The woman who got spanked at work? A California jury awarded her $500,000 for lost wages, medical costs and pain and suffering.

4. Clooney alert! He might not like the Gawker Stalker, the Huffington Post, or genocide, but George Clooney likes doing ads -- but only for the right companies:

It’s very, very important not to do very, very lowbrow and stupid TV commercials, according to the proud and virtuous George Clooney. He tells the British press: “You don’t want to do ones that aren’t classy. That’s the truth. That’s the secret to it. You want to have a product you are proud of and not embarrassed by.

So for Clooney, Budweiser is a "classy" company?
