Now that he's married, he'll need to switch to black dress socks while wearing shorts.
Maybe instead of a link to email Kathleen, Rob should include a mailing address for the Rob Needs Socks Foundation?
This smacks of other brillaint ideas like MSN's exclusive access to Viacom's Star Trek web site a few years back. I guess the target demographic for their magazines are people unable to use the internet.
Maybe it should be aOL tIME wARNER?
Nah, it can't be vulnerable. Online betting is trustworthy. Why, as soon as I get my bonus back from the Nigerian Petroleum Company, I'm going online to bet on the ponies!

The only time I've seen filtering software effective was for blocking husbands from accessing porn.
