In less than one-day, the new TMX Elmo will descend on the innocent. For months now, this product has been hiding beneath VP Cheney’s bunker.

Toys”R”Us has a countdown clock to emphasize the anticipated event.

Fisher Price even has a sci-fi video clip.

All of this pressure has taken a visible toll on the vulnerable doll. Over the weekend, Elmo checked himself into a hospital for “exhaustion”. And, during a recent dinner event, Elmo excused himself to the bathroom approximately eighteen-times and was seen returning to the table with a white powder stuck to his red fur.

The Home Depot, Inc. (Public, NYSE:HD) has started selling Electronics. This is being promoted via email and a tab on the homedepot.com homepage.

The product categories are televisions, GPS Systems, CD players/recorders & DVD players/recorders.

Brilliant move in my opinion. If Walmart can sell clothing and groceries & Amazon can sell Hurricane supplies, then Home Depot ought to be capitalizing on traffic by selling electronics. In fact, it makes perfect sense for Home Depot to be selling HOME electronics.

Under some of the electronic products, the site says “internet/catalog only”. Also a good move. It’s much easier and cost effective to roll something out online, test the waters and the decide how to proceed.

I am sure that Circuit City and Best Buy will be closely monitoring this development.

Borat the movie will be the hottest film this year. Hands down. No question. I assure you. It’s getting tremendous reviews. And it’s generating buzz on a massive scale.

Check out the Official Borat Homesite. Be sure to visit Borat’s myspace account: My hobbies trampoline, table tennis, sitting on comfytobale chairs, disco dance and shoot dog.

This is the first movie trailer in years that actually made me laugh.

The full article is here.

If you want to see the clip that may have driven the mother over the edge, just watch the first few minutes of the clip below. If you really have nothing better to do, feel free to watch the entire clip.

So far, there’s only been 146 views on YouTube. I wonder what the view count will be in 48 hours…Will it outpace Lonely Girl???

As you can see from the pic, a car crashed into the second floor of a house. The driver was killed, the tenant was not. Full story here.

The son of Anna Nicole Smith has passed away in an untimely death. Ms. Smith has been promoting the Trimspa diet for years.

Currently, the trimspa.com homepage is a memorial site for Daniel Wayne Smith.

In addition to a black & white photo of mother & son, the Trimspa homepage reads:

September 10th, 2006 - Today, our dear friend Anna Nicole Smith lost her son, Daniel. Many of the team members at TRIMSPA were fortunate to have shared time with Daniel over the past 3 years and know that he was Anna’s pride and joy, and deeply loved. He will be missed.

Please keep Anna Nicole and Howard K. Stern in your thoughts and prayers. We also request that media allow Anna and Howard, and the many who loved Daniel, time to mourn his loss. Please address any media inquiries to Robin Bonnema at TRIMSPA’s Public Relations department.

On the bottom of the page there is a link to continue to the regular Trimspa site. This is a very respectful & deserving gesture on Trimspa’s behalf.

There’s a story in today’s Post called NYPD Boom: Bomb Shock. In short, the article describes how undercover cops were able to simulate a truck bomb in NYC.

It was slow news day, so an editorial is based on this article: Fertilizing Terror. These are several quotes from this (egregious editorial): Undercover cops bought 2,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate fertilizer - about the same amount Oklahoma bomber Tim McVeigh and Terry Nichols bought - at retail outlets in New York and out of state.

They had the material shipped to a storefront in Brooklyn, claiming it was to be used at an “apple orchard.” Got that? Two thousand pounds of fertilizer. For an apple orchard. In Brooklyn. Did that raise red flags? Nope. No one said boo.

And then this: Hello? Anyone home? Anyone care about these threats? You’d think they’d have already taken enough lives. But apparently not - not enough to spur change, anyway. By vendors, who should be reporting such suspicious behavior. Or by government officials, who should be making such warnings mandatory, if folks won’t call the cops on their own.

So basically, all this funny stuff was going on and nobody blinked. Right?

Wrong! Had the NY Post editorial board taken the time to read the article in its entirety, they wouldn’t have glossed over the facts. A vendor DID in fact blink & reported this to the authorities. And the ATF followed up on this until the NYPD informed them that this was an undercover case.

DUH!

I guess the editors must have missed this part of the story:
But the purchase of the ammonium nitrate in Rensselaer aroused some suspicion from the owner of the distribution plant, who contacted the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms following the purchase. The ATF launched an investigation, but the NYPD notified them that it was an undercover operation.

Ooops. Their bad. Only in New York kids. Only in New York.

In what has got to be the most bizarre book title + book cover of 2006, Seth Goden seems to have gone into the deep end of the kiddie pool.

If you do not know from anything, Seth Goden is the popular author of The Purple Cow, a book about coloring books. He also has a nursery rhyme book called Pants on Fire Marketers are Liars.

Additionally, Seth Goden has a legion of loyal fans called Sethists. These are people who deny the existence of God, choosing instead to place their faith in Seth Goden.

Before I forget, Seth Goden also created the concept of Marketing. In the early 1970’s, someone had a product. And Seth approached him and said “hey, what if we let people know about your product”. From that moment on, the idea of marketing took shape.

Anyways, Seth Goden has a new book called “Small is the New Big“. The book is a compilation of his fascist blog (comment-free) PLUS his Fast Magazine columns. So, as the cover of the book, there’s an image of three naked dolls.

So, for emphasis, the book is called Small is the New Big, with a photo of three naked dolls. What the hell was this genius thinking???

Not only does the Page Six Magazine hit the streets this week, but I will be personally on-hand to procure a fresh copy. When the first issue of the biannual magazine dropped, I had to run all over Montreal to catch it.

During the past few days, the Post has been running full page ads to inform readers about the return of the Page Six Magazine.

The copy states: It’s Back! Page Six The Magazine 94-Page Glossy Free In The Post September 14.

FYI, nypost.com has yet to mention the upcoming mag. In fact, for whatever reason, the site is still showcasing the first edition of the Page Six Magazine, which is only about 6-months old…

My instinct tells me that Jared Paul Stern will not be editing this imminent installment of P.S.M.
