Maggie Meier, who went into a coma after suffering a seizure in 2008, was somehow still able to shoot a beach ball through a hoop while in her, to use a Margaret Atwood-ism, fallow state. Meier had played basketball for years, and doctors believe that the motion of shooting a basket was so deeply ingrained in her that…

They're considering Chris Isaak as a replacement for Simon Cowell! The alt-crooner has had two meetings with producers. If that's not weird, nothing is. Apparently the show is struggling to maneuver around X Factor, judges-wise. Who will end up where??

In the olden days, the preferred way to sell chocolate milk powder was with pictures of futuristic scientists shining heat lamps onto the bottoms of naked young boys. Afterwards, families retreated to 7-Eleven parking lots to bask in nature's glow.

Europe's so weird. Ad agencies in Belgium teamed together and went on "strike" to protest the fact that clients were asking too many ad agencies to pitch their business. Huh! So, temporary moratorium on sexxxy Belgian porn ads. [Adfreak]

What madness is this: some joker is selling a used copy of Page Sixer Paula Froelich's not-released-yet book for $81.18, on Amazon. Coincidentally, that was GM's average hourly wage in 2006. "Coincidentally." [Amazon]

A Brazilian newspaper is running a series of ads with the slogan "Understand the real value of money." So what's the real value of a dollar? Apparently it's terrorism, pollution, the Challenger disaster, war, and tornadoes. Oh, and weed. They didn't forget the weed. I won't pretend to be able to identify the…

The Photoshop Monster never sleeps. In March we brought you possibly the five worst Photoshop distortions ever. But it's clear that lessons have not been learned among those who wield the program's horrific power. Must all consumers be forced to live in a world in which perspective and continuity do not exist?

We haven't read it since that free trial subscription ran out). We're basing our judgment on the magazine's new ad campaign. Which is utterly baffling. What, exactly,…
