Our friends at Big Action alert us to a bored American expat who is trying to earn a few extra bucks by sending raving postcards from Poland to a person of your choice.
We can’t vouch for the veracity of the prank, but wouldn’t it be great if Hollywood were suddenly besieged by angry rants from Poles?

The NYT had its finger on the “send” trigger, apparently, and popped this lovely obit up minutes after his death was announced.
It ends with the poem Requiem, from Vonnegut’s 2005 book, A Man Without a Country.
When the last living thing/ has died on account of us,/ how poetical it would be/ if Earth could say,/ in a voice floating up/ perhaps/ from the floor/ of the Grand Canyon,/ “It is done.”/ People did not like it here.
But even better than the NYT, better than Cory Doctorow’s obit, even, is the piece by Kevin F. Sherry on Big Action (a site this half of FBLA contributes to). Seems Vonnegut saved Kevin’s life. So it goes.
Maybe it’s all that exposure from BrooWaha, but we’ve been hit with an inordinant number of MySpace friend requests. While we slog through those this weekend, the rest of you can enjoy a few tasty news nuggets from our friends around the ‘net:
LA Observed notes a new LAT hire.
Big Action! decides the entire Viacom/Google fiasco comes down to one thing: Squirrel Melts.
TMZ breaks the “story” that a judge in the Anna Nicole Smith case has ordered a DNA test of Howard K. Stern. Sure TMZ had the exclusive, but we hear Usmagazine.com has a reporter hiding out in Stern’s cheek, awaiting the actual swab.
