Steamrollered by the Beckham hype machine
In honor of the Beckham hoopla splashed all over the front page of today's Daily News, we present some Beckham FQAs (frequently questioned answers) that somehow didn't manage to get into the paper.
1) Posh has a piercing at the base of her cerebral cortex.
2) "A Beautiful Mind" was originally supposed to be about Posh but after the filmmakers initially interviewed her, they thought it'd be more commercial if they made it about a scientist.
3) It's impossible to refer to "Bend It Like Beckham" without it sounding tasteless.
4) The Beckhams' media orgy was a plague left over from when God was trying to get the Pharoah to release the Jews from Egypt, but the Pharoah was weak and caved in after the Death of the Firstborn.
5) Quietus®, the suicide drug featured in the film "Children of Men," was initially developed for British journalists who had to cover the Beckhams.
David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place.

Did someone mention "plague"?

Congratulations, LA! You now have the Beckhams, whereas we here in Miami have...OJ. Yeah, thanks a bunch for that.
