Winston Churchill's parrot 'Charlie'
lives on, and though she's an incredible 104 years old, she's still her master's pet. As James Humes puts it: "Churchill may no longer be with us but that spirit and those words of defiance and resolve continue." Yes, "f*** Hitler" and "f*** the Nazis" are certainly words of defiance and resolve, a worthy legacy of the greatest statesman of the 20th Century.
Norwegian cable channel TV3 has decided to sell thirty-second commercial spots for their upcoming Super Bowl broadcast for 15 NKR - about the equivalent of $2 (that's right,
two dollars) - as a way of drawing attention to the game which, traditionally, doesn't draw particularly high ratings in Norway. In comparison, spots for the US broadcast go for more than $2
million dollars. At least TV3 is getting press. Whether or not that will translate into ratings is anyone's guess.
