Independent Persecutor Kenneth Starr has been offered a job... at Hustler Magazine! "After a reading of the Starr Report I am impressed by the salacious and voyeuristic nature of your work, I am offering you a position as Advisor On Pornography for Hustler Magazine," Larry Flynt said in a letter to Starr. "The quality and quantity of material you have assembled in the Starr Report contains more pornographic references than those provided by Hustler Online services this month. I congratulate you for opening the doors of libraries and schools to pornographic literature. Those of us at Hustler need your assistance in extending the parameters of pornography to a wider community of adults. You have opened a new era in promoting explicit sexual material to the public." Last month Hustler Magazine had 44 graphic references to genitalia, but the Starr Report has over 50 graphic references to genitalia. Ken Starr has yet to accept the position at Hustler.

Is Wrestling real? Ted Turner's World Championship Wrestling has hired the head writer for the World Wrestling Federation in an effort to help it's how. Writer Vince Russo and his partner Ed Ferrara are responsible for the story lines for the successful WWF SMACKDOWN, RAW IS WAR, and SUNDAY NIGHT HEAT. The pair is credit with making the WWF an edgy, over-the-top show that has brought audiences flocking to the televised wrestling shows. The two are expected to bring their magic touch to MONDAY NITRO and THUNDER on TNT, which have been sagging in recent months. Wow! You mean those wrestlers aren't really mad at each other? Next you'll tell me that Soilent Green is people.
