Downing Street Cat	WOODY ALLEN..'You bring me all the way out here at 2am to dispose of a tiny harmless spider in your bathtub. Are you serious. We don't get spiders that big in New York. GOES INTO BATHROOM COMES OUT OF BATHROOM I'm calling the Air force. You've got a spider the size of Wisconsin in your bathtub.
JK2006	For some reason (dementia?) I put this thread on Tipsheet when it's clearly not music related... What's happened is media discovered (DOH!) that exaggerating a story attracts more readers, viewers, listeners. Society started believing the inflated tale (shock! horror!). Then so did the legal and moral structures. Politicians saw that taking a populist position ("you will be believed even if you are lying") got votes. The avalanche rolled. Now it's going so fast nobody dares even hope to avoid the snow. We all exaggerate more. Media hypes further. And Satan's current weapon of mass destruction succeeds.
