    Is it just me, or is Princeton the college campus that has the least "college town" feel to it? I lived there two summers in a row while attending UNC-Chapel Hill the rest of the year, and the contrast was stunning. Chapel Hill was a true college town where anything went. Princeton felt like it was full of incredibly rich pre-yuppies who didn't partake in all the usual college rituals. I mean, a college town with no thrift store? No funky dive bars? What?


    Of course, Princeton Record Exchange ruled, so I spent all my time there, but still. I visited the radio station at one point, just to see what it was like, and the person working there assumed I was a musician arriving for an on-air interview. I think it was because I was the only person in town wearing an outfit that cost less than $500.

    @Snakeophelia: I went to Chapel Hill also and was thinking there the townies sold you drugs or were the hookers and rentboys. Some of the latter were amazingly hot. School days...

    I love how that photo could pretty much be 1983, 1993 or 2003. But if that is a "pro-life" organization, maybe not?

    @BookishLookish: Their styles are definitely adaptable to several decades of bad fashion. But it looks like they are in DC, so I am going to guess that the banner is for the "March for Life" and not some super pro-alma mater sentiments.

    Where I come from, underage Townies wander in packs armed with assault rifles. They drink a thick liqueur distilled from car batteries and train feral dogs to attack baby strollers and Volvos. God help you if they see or smell a college identification card or a syllabus; you'll be torn limb from limb in seconds.

    To allow Chris Brown to remain a nominee for this length of time since the Rihanna controversy became public knowledge was a very intentional choice on Nickelodeon's part.


    To gain publicity and interest for the dead horse KCAs through the deliberate exploitation of Chris Brown's current notoriety is both shameful and reprehensible.


    Right up there with only giving Salute Your Shorts two seasons.

    Oh, Please Chris Brown Removed himself.


    Chris Brown Withdraws From KCA Consideration


    LOS ANGELES, March 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- A spokesman for Chris Brown said that, given the controversy surrounding his nominations for Kids' Choice Awards, he is withdrawing his name from consideration. "Chris very much

    appreciates the support of his fans and the honor they have paid him in the way of nominations for Favorite Male Singer and Favorite Song. Unfortunately, the controversy surrounding the incident last month has shifted the focus from the music to whether he should be allowed to be among those nominated. While Chris would like to speak to his fans directly about this and other issues, pending legal proceedings preclude his doing so at this time. Once the matter before him has been resolved, he intends to do so."

    Producers: Please scan the site & call out any mention of Chris Brown anywhere.


    Please report back with your progress.


    I'm gonna say this is a hoax memo because of this last little tidbit. Who the eff orders their producers to scan a website and why bother, anyway? I smell the dumb on this one.

    My comment may not make sense as I'm not a child, but I'm thinking very few have really paid attention to these Kid's Choice thingies in the years Nicko has been doing them, so I'm thinking publicity stunt? Also, since I hear slime is an important factor at these things, would I pay to see Chris Brown slimed, and by slimed I mean punched so hard in the face he leaks poo water, then yes, I think he should still be a nominee and win.

    @Spirit Fingers: Not true. Kids pay a huge amount of attention to these awards, and so I, for one, am thrilled. I only wish they'd strip Riri too, for setting the example to all little girls that you need to reunite with your abuser. Musically, no less.

    @Wannabeer: Well, yah, my dealings with the child crowd is nonexistent, and my dealings with Nicko go back to, You Can't Do That On Television, so justly I have no idea of which I speak. I still say that if he's still left on the ballot it's a publicity stunt. I agree with you on the RiRi bit, but naw, she's still a supposed victim in this mess, even though at this point it's by choice.


    Still wanting to see that punch. Doesn't have to be at this venue, but should happen, and soon.

    @Spirit Fingers: I'm with you- the last thing I watched on nickelodeon was that show where kids race through the fake temple, circa 1990.


    Either way though, having a pretty obvious abuser in the running for so long is a pretty obvious no go from a PR standpoint.


    Oh, and I'll throw the punch if someone will get me close.
