Thanks to This Modern World, just discovered the Superdickery site - devoted to reprinting comic book covers proving the classic Superman was a dick.

There is also a (obviouly subjective on site owners part) display of world's stupidest covers

Think the owner's relation to Supes is love/hate rather than hate/hate.

Oscar Wilde & Cole Porter?

Nope

Raymond and Robert?

sorry.

Bert & Ernie?

WE HAVE A WINNAH!!!!!

yeah, a bunch of us were sittting around getting drunk in college (imagine that) and we decided to name our breasts. The only other one I remember is Ferdinand and Isabella -- the Catholic monarchs. We had a lengthy, most certainly nonsensical discussion over whether it was appropriate to name breasts after people of both genders. The gay argument went over well.

Americans are deeply confused:

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Most Americans believe the government should do more to make the Internet safe, but they don't trust the federal institutions that are largely responsible for creating and enforcing laws online, according to a new industry survey.

People who were questioned expressed concerns over threats from identity theft, computer viruses and unwanted "spam" e-mails. But they held low opinions toward Congress and the Federal Trade Commission, which protects consumers against Internet fraud.

Thanks for the Hawaii link. We're looking for history/culture, waterfalls, snorkeling near the shore, not too touristy but not too remote.

has visions on Emily in flannel, holding a shotgun with a trumpet barrel, standing over her cable modem.

I should note that I've never actually met emily, so the face part of the vision is a bit hazy.
