Ooops
SANTA CLARITA, Calif. — A newspaper promotion for Tom Cruise's upcoming Mission: Impossible III got off to an explosive start when a county arson squad blew up a news rack, thinking it contained a bomb.
The confusion: the Los Angeles Times rack was fitted with a digital musical device designed to play the Mission: Impossible theme song when the door was opened. But in some cases, the red plastic boxes with protruding wires were jarred loose and dropped onto the stack of newspapers inside, alarming customers.

Hundreds of geeks in LA will be out looking for LA Times racks with a free and easily removable digital music player inside. I bet they are all gone by morning.

Wow. This is incredibly ripe for an SNL parody. Customers opening newspaper racks, hear the "Mission Impossible" theme, and then turn into slow-motion montages of bomb-defusing supermen. It's a powerful song.

"One ticket to Washington, please. I have a date with destiny."

That's hilarious. This is one movie I'm going to avoid. Mission: Impossible was good, but then the stupid movie going public said the plot was too hard to figure out so the sequel was more Mission: "Slightly Challenging" than "Impossible."
I'm guessing the third will be Mission: "Hey look at the cool special effects!"

Nope. It's going to be "Mission: Scientologist Buffoon".
That's the reason I won't be watching it.
