Saint Louis, The Heartland of… Health?

 Posted on January 26, 2009  |  buddhaqueen

Welcome to St. Louis, the nation’s 16th fittest state, as according to “Men’s Fitness” magazine. I just read the article announcing this list and yes, I was proud that my city was listed in the top 25. But you know what my knee jerk reaction was? “Really? That doesn’t seem right!” I mean, come on. We’re the city that gave the world Budweiser… and John Goodman. Our city newscasters count Jeff Bernthal and Rich Gould among their number. [Read More]

Breaking: KFNS Producer Arrested on Rape Charges

Breaking: KFNS Producer Arrested on Rape Charges

 Posted on January 25, 2009  |  The Editor

This post has an update, see below! Ryan Huff, a Production Director and Producer for all sports-talk station KFNS (590 AM) was arrested in Arnold and charges were filed that included raping underage girls. Apparently Huff met the girls on “an internet chatroom,” which could mean anything since I’m guessing the reporter on the KMOV video I watched doesn’t know the difference between this very site and and actual “internet chatroom.

Fox 2 Redesigns Their Website to Match the Rest of the St. Louis’ Websites

Fox 2 Redesigns Their Website to Match the Rest of the St. Louis’ Websites

 Posted on January 24, 2009  |  The Editor

The recently redesigned and relaunched website for St. Louis’ Fox affiliate on channel 2 just went live with a new domain: fox2now.com. Abandoning the fairly recent Fox-wide “MyFox[insert city abbreviation].com” push already is a bit of a mystery to most, but the issue is fairly clear after a quick twitter search: Even less of a mystery is what the “in” style for the front page of St. Louis big media websites.

First ClearChannel, and Now KSDK?

 Posted on January 23, 2009  |  The Editor

According to STLMedia.net, heads might be rolling at KSDK after Gannett tried and failed to force a week long, un-paid, vacation for its employees. The word is, the lay offs could come as soon as next week. If “famous” heads are getting lopped off from media companies, couldn’t we at least turn this in to some fun for someone? What if KSDK said, Survivor style, that the following people were up for “elimination” and then we get the vote to see who gets the axe? [Read More]

A Translation: From Jealous Poet-Speak to English

 Posted on January 22, 2009  |  The Editor

So I guess Elizabeth Alexander’s inaugural poem has been getting panned by people in poetry circles. For instance, in an article on guardian.co.uk, Carol Rumens said that “Elizabeth Alexander’s praise poem was way too prosy” You bitch! Eh…I guess…is that what the poetry circle calls getting “panned,” or being, as STLToday.com called it, “harsh?” STLToday.com’s Book Blog had more on this issue though, when they called on River Styx editor Richard Newman on what his thoughts on Tuesday’s most famous poem.

Byroncrawford.com Takes You on a Stroll Through the Adult Entertainment Expo

ByronCrawford.com has a new post up with a photo walk through the Adult Entertainment Expo (or “AEE” to you pervs that know the names of porn directors and stuff). …but first, a tip for you young, just starting out-type bloggers from Byron: I’ve noticed for a while now that the websites of alt weekly newspapers – like the Village Voice, and the Riverfront Times here in St. Louis – will run these photo galleries where they send someone out to the club with a camera to get pictures of broads with their cans hanging out of their shirts, and I’ve heard that these are often the most popular features on those sites.

Spend a Night 21 Days Ago With A Playmate From STLToday.com!

 Posted on January 21, 2009  |  The Editor

I was going to start this off with the rhetorical question of “Does anyone at the Post Dispatch even look at STLToday.com?” but I stopped short because I knew I was going to get tons of “Have you seen the green on their site? …I’m guessing no.”-type comments. Look, you can hate on the abortion that was their old navigation, and say their new one looks like it took them 20 seconds to put together, and arguments could be made in their defense (I’m guessing)…but the least…and I mean the least…they could do is to take off ads for a contest that’s prize involved spending New Year’s Eve with a playmate!
