Only because Viagra isn't a word in the dictionary yet..

New York Yankees star Derek Jeter reportedly has lots of one-night stands, which all end the same way -- with his car service giving the women a basket of autographed memorabilia the morning after. The New York Post says they learned of the practice when Jeter accidentally had a two-night stand and sent the woman home with the same gift basket twice. 12/13/11 6:06pm ET
I thought it was a little impersonal but the tiny DJ on the morning after pill was a nice touch..

Fox News has a new enemy: The Muppets.

Umm if this were communist China, Eric, there would be a one muppet per movie limit. And Miss Piggy and Janice would've been drowned at birth.

Turns out the group of investers are old buddies of King's from an earlier investment, The Luisiana Purchase.
