see if you will a picture. My pal Sean brought this lovely photo to my attention. It should give the restless WWdN reader something to do for, oh, six or even eight seconds today! [WIL WHEATON DOT NET: Where is my mind?]
The General just thinks it is funny anyone would require an RSS feed from the blog of Wil Weaton. And that's exactly why The General subscribes. And you should too. Because you never know when Wil Weaton lay it on you, and you'll be all like, "What the fuck was that? Was that Truth, Wil Weaton style?" And Wil Weaton will be all like, "Fuck ya."
I don't know where that was going. Anyhoo, occasionally the General must step away from saving the world from its dumb-ass self. And when The General steps away, he steps into a world of Weaton, my friend.

MoveOn won't. MoveOn has launched a campaign to convince CBS to change its policy. Here's the polispam they'd like people to send:
Subject: The ad CBS will not air Dear friend, During this year's Super Bowl, you'll see ads sponsored by beer companies, tobacco companies, and the Bush White House. But you won't see the winning ad in MoveOn.org Voter Fund's Bush in 30 Seconds ad contest. CBS refuses to air it. Meanwhile, the White House and Congressional Republicans are on the verge of signing into law a deal which Senator John McCain (R-AZ) says is custom-tailored for CBS and Fox, allowing the two networks to grow much bigger. CBS lobbied hard for this rule change; MoveOn.org members across the country lobbied against it; and now the MoveOn.org ad has been rejected while the White House ad will be played. It looks an awful lot like CBS is playing politics with the right to free speech. Of course, this is bigger than just the MoveOn.org Voter Fund. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) submitted an ad that was also rejected. We need to let CBS know that this practice of arbitrarily turning down ads that may be "controversial" – especially if they're controversial simply because they take on the President – just isn't right. To watch the ad that CBS won't air and sign the petition to CBS to run these ads, go here MoveOn.org will deliver the petition by email directly to CBS headquarters. Thanks.
