American Network Special Causes Flux in Ego-Density Balance of Universe
(Routers)

An American TV network musical special to raise funds for the recent terrorists attacks causes a massive disruption in the ego-gravitational field surrounding planet earth.

Just received the ill-timed new copy of Advertising Age's Creativity. It's titled "The Comedy Issue" with "King of Comedy" Cliff Freeman on the cover.
