Just throwing out some things I found of interest online:

• Amsterdam's Red Light District Opens Its Doors — Saleswomen of the highest order invited guests into their cubicles for a free drink and chat to counteract the establishments' seedy reputation by explaining hygiene regulations and security set-ups. A recent study found that 7 percent of Dutch prostitutes have HIV/AIDS, which makes that $60-a-fuck a little less of a bargain. From my just-browsing-thank-you experience a couple of years ago, I can tell you that the attractiveness of these gals runs the gamut, from heinous to hottie.

• 10 Things Your Movie Critic Won't Tell You — This Smart Money feature explores all the reasons why I trust only Vincent's picks at Champagne Video. I hear his only compensation is vodka, cigarettes and fireworks.

• College Concert Fees for Over 400 Bands/Performers — Hootie & The Blowfish are listed as "generally available" for $100K. Ya don't say. And check out Jeff Foxworthy: You might be choosing another comedian if... he commands "lots of money."

• Your Guide to the Corporate Crapper: Part I — And, because no one can get enough of this shit (I'm on a roll, and I don't mean toilet paper), there's also a Part II. Missing is a rule everyone should adhere to: DO NOT emerge from a stall, after just dropping a Daisy Cutter, while someone else is in the bathroom. Cling to some shame and hide your identity. You see some guys throw open the door, still fixing their pants, like they'd be remiss for not being fingered as the guy responsible for creating a stench that could only be challenged by Whoopi Goldberg's feet after a desert triathlon. (Found on GorillaMask)

• Porn Star Jenna Haze's Claim to Fame — The Wikipedia entry on tomorrow's birthday gal reads: "As with other young female porn-stars, like Gauge, Allie Sin, Aurora Snow and Taylor Rain, Jenna garnered attention for her enthusiastic performances in early scenes involving anal sex, DP, and semen swallowing." See, with a little effort, you can become anything you want.

• Kid Rock/Creed Sex Tape News/Preview Vid — Six Degrees of Pamela Anderson — a new game for celebrity sex tapes.

• Press Releases for PaulKatcher.com — Who knew BlogShares was releasing forecast reports about my site? That was your typical Internet potential craze. Everyone with a blog was on it for three days, and now there's probably three people left. I guess I check it every few months to see how my site is doing, though I never bought or sold shares. If nothing else, it's a quick index of which blogs link to ya.

• The Simpsons Video: "Meet and You — Partners in Freedom" — I have a crazy friend who says it's wrong to eat meat. Is he crazy?

• MySpace: Murdoch's Big Hope, Parents' Nightmare — Ol' Rupert paid $580 million for MySpace last July? Who knew? Anyway, I guess parents are starting to wonder why all of 14-year-old Jimmy's "friends" live in L.A. and have huge tits.

• Video: Guido the Ginny at the Club — Funny stuff, and sad, too. Little kid cursing his ass off like that? Either he's so mature that he processes the sarcasm and cynicism on his own or, ironically, is destined, because of reckless upbringing, to grow into the losers he parodies.

• Video: The Daily Show Trendspotting: MySpace — An amusing report about online networking by Demetri Martin. You might not hate Steel Magnolias as much as you used to.
