This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.
For those of you on this board who are on-air here's a tip for your listeners.
Newest on-line scam is a fake message from the "IRS" (Irish Reform School, perhaps?) indicating that you will receive a refund of a certain dollar amount, but that your refund has been delayed. Hence, you need to use this handy on-line form to reply to the "IRS" (Italian Rascals and Scum, of course) with certain information (didn't bother to see what they wanted but one can safely assume it would include bank account number, social security number etc.).
Message concludes with "copyright 2008 IRS." Uhm, why does the Guv'mint need to copyright a tax form...it's the Chinese, yeah, that's it, they copy everything!

I was getting that "newest" scam two years ago. Something did not seem right, so I called an IRS toll-free number and they directed me to a web site for reporting it.
