This has to be the best BBC News headline ever.

I know, I've gone a bit overboard with the Grand Theft Auto IV posts lately. This will be my last, I promise. It's just that, when I'm not causing chaos around Liberty City, I'm dreaming about causing chaos in Liberty City. It should also be known that I don't consider myself a gamer. While I enjoy playing video games, I don't spend the bulk of my free time playing them. I don't read gaming magazines. I own only one console. I'm also not a virgin.

After supporting Take-Two by being part of the half-billion take they've made on the game in the last week, I thought I'd mention things GTA IV has taught me since last Tuesday.

This is great...and an interesting use of blood, guts and gore to promote Prince of Persia.

You can find some interesting, odd and funny images when you go to any of the web's photo sharing sites and type in random words. Check them out.

After decades of working in radio, this really hits home. I used to dream in advertising cliches. And when I was married to another announcer, people used to comment on how weird it was to hear us speak to each other off-air. I quit my last radio job two years ago tomorrow; maybe my communication skills have normalized a bit by now. This video won second place in some YouTube contest.

It would take real talent to screw up a movie with this concept. The Nazis have been hiding out on the moon since 1945. Eventually, they'll come back. The makers of Iron Sky are looking for a distribution deal.

How are you going to spend your economic stimulus check? Some have already received theirs (and spent it), and some are still waiting (me). I've heard that the last two digits of your social security number will tell you where you are in the payment queue. There is a blog devoted to reports of what people are doing with the money, appropriately titled How I Spent My Stimulus. My $900 will go into the bank to partially cover the $$$ I sent the IRS in self-employment tax a month ago.

I take back all those things I said about New York commuters. After watching this video, I have a new found respect for that guy with the armpits that smell like onions and whose hand just happens to graze my genital region one too many times.

"Speed Racer" ** (out of four): The Wachowski brothers adapt the classic 60s cartoon as a candy-colored visual sugar-rush that, despite its name, takes a while to cross the finish line.

In the interest of full disclosure, I should admit that I was not a loyal viewer of the 60s animated series "Speed Racer". Nevertheless, I do appreciate its pop cultural influences, particularly when it comes to the introduction of anime - and that catchy "Go Speed Racer Go" theme song - to Western audiences. So it was with fresh eyes that I sat down to watch the Wachowski brothers' candy-colored, CGI-laden visualization of the series, their first feature film since the end of the "Matrix" trilogy. "Speed Racer" originated in Japan as a manga comic by Tatsuo Yoshida. It was adapted as an anime series called "Mach GoGoGo" which came to American audiences in the late 60s with a new name and Western voices. Now that the Wachowskis have adapted the story for the big screen (and even bigger budget), I can't help but feel that something has gotten lost in translation.

"What Happens in Vegas" **1/2 (out of four): "What Happens in Vegas" is a lot like the city for which it's named - boisterous, silly and probably a lot more fun when intoxicated.

Ah, Las Vegas. Where prince and pauper alike come to throw their cares, money and a few brain cells away. "What Happens in Vegas" tells the story of two incompatible strangers who, after a night of drunken debauchery, find themselves married. After being publicly dumped by her stodgy fiancé, Joy (Cameron Diaz) travels to Sin City to drown her sorrows. There, she bumps into Jack (Ashton Kutcher), who is similarly trying to forget his woes after being fired from his father's cabinet company. Type-A commodities trader Joy and slacker Jack don't get along at first, but after several shots they start to warm up to one another. After a few hours of too much tequila and drunken over-sharing, Joy wakes up in Jack's bed with a ring on her finger.
