And it’s “Don’tDrinkAndDrive” by a nose!
Apologies for posting a few too many “news of the social change deranged” this month, but this one had to be added. Police in New Zealand have purchased the lifetime naming rights to a racing horse, to be put on the tracks in regular horseraces. His name: “Don’tDrinkAndDrive.”

Optimus Prime dies of prostate cancer
Last night’s episode of “Robot Chicken,” a Cartoon Network show created by actor Seth Green and Matthew Senreich, featured Tranformer hero (and integral part of my childhood) Optimus Prime dying of prostate cancer. While many of us were grieving for the loss of our childhood, the National Prostate Cancer Coalition issued a press release:
“Being a Tractor Truck, Optimus should have known the importance of check-ups – oil, anti-freeze, spark plugs – the works,” said Coalition CEO Richard N. Atkins. “It comes as such a surprise – my kids loved that guy.” Moral? Autobots, be sure to check your tailpipe. -Ed.
