From The Washington Post's Reliable Source (photo from Yahoo! News photo):
The fashion police came to the rescue of World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz, who made worldwide headlines by revealing his holey socks at a mosque in Turkey last weekend. A Gold Toe rep delivered 21 pairs of dress socks to his office yesterday (labeled "rush delivery"), Turkish sock manufacturers mailed a dozen pairs, and employees also presented him with a pair.
NFL's lawyers sack church's game plan
Submitted by Jonathan on Fri, 2007-02-02 20:53Watch out on Sunday...the NFL may be after you. From an article by Robert King in the Indianapolis Star:
The thousands of churches across the country that want to host Super Bowl parties Sunday night had better not pull out big-screen TVs, or they could face the wrath of NFL attorneys.
The NFL is telling Fall Creek Baptist Church in Indianapolis that the church's plans to use a wall projector to show the game at a party for church members and guests would violate copyright laws.
The league even took exception to the church's plan to influence nonmembers with a video highlighting the Christian testimonies of Colts coach Tony Dungy and Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith.
NFL PARTY RULES
For groups that want to host Super Bowl parties -- other than sports bars and businesses that normally show televised sports -- here are rules the NFL says must be followed:
- No admission fees (even to pay for snacks).
- Only one television (55 inches or smaller).
- No use of the words "Super Bowl" in promotional materials.
- No exhibition of the game in connection with events "that promote a message."
