WHO’S GOING TO HELL THIS WEEK? 

August 20, 2001

The government plan to move fetal research overseas is working better than expected. Look for cheap Taiwanese knock-off stem-cell lines to hit the streets any day now.

10. People with immune system disorders will be picketing Disney's new film "Bubble Boy" claiming it makes fun of them, but it'll be real easy to knock the signs out of their hands.

9. Stick a fork in Chandra Leavy, her story's done. Blame it on the Hell's Angels, and I DO mean the motorcycle club.

8. Will the Queen mother allow Prince Charles to finally wed Camilla Parker-Bowles? Not if Dale Earnhardt has anything to say about it.

7. Joan Rivers' dog Spike is dying, finally ending Jack Ruby's 18 years of torture as her beloved pet. 

6. Chinese companies are helping Iraq upgrade their air defense system just as archeologists are digging up the grave of Genghis Khan. Coincidence? I don't think so.

5. Despite rumors that Richard Geer will be making "Planet of the Gerbils," the papers have NOT been signed.

4.  Will Sony Pictures be sued by the state of Oregon for citing phony critics in newspaper ads? Not if Ashley Judd has eloped with Carrot Top.

3. The Red Hot Chili Peppers are saying they canceled their tour of Israel because of Palestinian suicide bombings, but it was really to get Jamaica to legalize marijuana. Way to go, Chili Peppers! 

2. Why is Ohio inmate John W. Byrd Jr. insisting he be executed with an electric chair rather than lethal injection? So "American Pie 2" will break $100 million. 

And the number one person going to hell this week?

1.  China has got seven years before the Olympics to do something about the widespread national habit of spitting on the floor in public, not to mention beating dissidents to a bloody pulp. 

Personal to Al Gore: It brings out the animal in you. 
Personal to Barbara Bush: Shave it.

Arithmetic from Hell

42 wildfires divided by 10 different western states times 500,000 acres plus 5 million cars recalled by Ford minus Tiger Woods' $100 million dollar endorsement deal with Nike divided by his current place in the PGA Championship divided by 8 out 10 Yale University  colleges named after slave owners equals your personal 1 in 80 million shot at winning $128 million in Powerball times the income that Blockbuster Video derives from late fees minus 75 dead in a Philippine hotel fire plus 15 million Americans with asthma divided by the amount of children going back to school this week on Ritalin plus the 30 pounds Rev.

Country Song from Hell

ARTIFICIAL PAIN

You said that you would love me
In sickness and in health
You said that you were not concerned with my enormous wealth
I fell down right in front of you
When I had my heart attack
But since the doctors let me go you will not take me back

    Now I've got artificial pain in my artificial heart
    because my love won't repossess my favorite body part
    They say it'll kill me if I let my feelings flow
    Darling I can't think of any better way to go

My cornea's transplanted and my septum's made of plastic
My hair is someone else's and my colon? It's elastic
I haven't got a body part that I can call my own
Darling that's a poor excuse for cheating with my clone

    I've got artificial pain in my artificial heart
    because you haven't got the nerve to finish what you start
    They say that it'll kill me if I let my feelings flow
    Darling I can't think of any better way to go
 
    I've got artificial pain in my artificial heart
    Artificial pain in my artificial heart
