They Went On Down (To Applebees)

A PR person sent this photo to PW of the women who lined 15th Street last week attempting to get a chance to audition to be one of Carey's Cuties (ha) on The Price is Right, where they would have the opportunity to point at a toaster. If they're lucky.

This is a wonderful country in many ways, isn't it?

Thursday Plans: Found

Oh yes! Now this will be a great event for people-watching:

Applebee’s (S. 15th St., Philadelphia) and CBS3 will host an open casting call for models for The Price is Right from noon to 2 p.m. Thurs., Aug. 14. Applicants must be 18 years old and bring a completed application, proof of age and a headshot. One woman will be chosen to audition in Los Angeles for a chance to be on the game show hosted by comedian Drew Carey.

Anyone surprised the model search is at Applebee's? Okay, right: No.

Recently In Me

This week's Drug Roar column is up. It's about how the media covers drugs, using the example of marijuana. I guess. As usual, I'm blogging at drugroar.com.

Also, I wrote this little column about Buzz Bissinger and blogs and truth and baseball in last week's paper. And, for some reason, reviewed The Price is Right.

69 Reasons To Love 'The Price Is Right'

Ha ha, I was so excited by March Madness I forgot to post this clip I made yesterday from The Price is Right. As you may know, I love jokes that appeal to high schoolers and this is pretty much the epitome of that genre of humor right here.
