In which Erik brings you up to date on all the hot gozz you've been missing in supermarket tabloids, and Piers brings you up to date on all the hot signs you're missing by not paying attention to signs. We dredge up some old fish-wrapper - say the Weekly World News, circa 2011 - and delve into the private lives of Britney Spears, Simon Cowell, and Sade through the eyes of the devious paparazzo. Then we roll into some serious sign critiques, examining the artfulness and wit of the signs at the Women's March this past weekend. We stand with those who march, but even a just cause is no excuse for lazy copywriting. Really, the whole episode boils down to one big "Good for you!" mixed with a muted "Tut-tut." A great episode for anyone looking for a little taste of Michael Jackson's potential for lichdom, tugboat talk, a list of what animals should be allowed to lick, Christmas alone, the linear nature of time, the artistry of coffee or sandwiches, and friendship.
