Brooklyn’s Finest: OBAMA FRIED CHICKEN
Brooklyn Obama Fried Chicken in the house, oh my god.
MARCH 31–In an apparent bid to stand out in the crowded fast food market, a Brooklyn business has rechristened itself “Obama Fried Chicken.” Previously known as Royal Fried Chicken, the eatery, located at Rockaway Parkway and Rutland Road in Brownsville, unveiled its revamped name last Thursday afternoon when the business’s new awning was installed (as seen above). For a view of the chicken joint in its previous, less Baracky, incarnation, click here. The unauthorized use of the Obama name in connection with commercial ventures exploded following the Democrat’s victory in the 2008 presidential campaign. (via).
DAMN SON, I AM TRYING TO GET SOME PRESIDENTIAL ITIS. Does that come with a side of Michelle Gravy?
Note: this is not from the makers of OBAMA-FINGERS (CHICKEN FINGERS).

Palm Phone-Maker Chases Howard Stern For Pre Marketing
Palm’s Pre is a make-or-break device, and the company is working the word-of-mouth marketing hard. And if you’re going to get some word-of-mouth marketing, it helps to recruit one of the biggest mouths out there: Howard Stern.
Stern is in the market for a phone and has been a loyal Treo user. He still has a Treo, but is embarrassed to show it given the technology is so old. In other words, Stern is the perfect Palm customer. He’s been fiercely loyal, but has nothing new to get excited about until now. “I’m embarrassed to hold up my phone right now it’s so old-school,” he said Tuesday on his show. In a nutshell, Stern is very publicly auditioning phones. He’s trying a BlackBerry, but has ruled out the iPhone due to its lack of a keyboard.
It’s a very public test case for the Pre, and Palm is working the celebrity circuit to get a little iPhone-type buzz. The downside: it could also be disastrous if the Pre isn’t easy to use. Let’s face it. Stern isn’t exactly as savvy as the Engadget gang.
Palm is getting Stern a demo Pre delivered to his home with a hands-on tutorial and then taking the top-secret device away.

Andre 109 Arrested For Driving 3000 MPH (As El-P Said, I Am Also Apparently Mildly Dyslexic)
Rapper Andre 3000 was arrested outside of Atlanta on Saturday (March 28) for driving his 2007 Porsche Carrera at a speed of 109 MPH.
In what police called “an accident waiting to happen,” the Grammy Award-winning artist was arrested by an officer from the Henry County Police Department’s Highway Enforcement of Aggressive Traffic Team early in the morning, reported local station WSBTV.
If accurate, Andre’s speed of 109 MPH was 44 MPH over the 65 MPH speed limit on I-75.
“Traveling that fast along 75, you’re passing people as if they’re standing still,” stated Henry County Police Captain Jason Bolton.
According to TMZ.com, the rapper was released after posting $1,200 bail. He is scheduled for a court appearance on April 29.
The arrest comes at a time when State Representative Jim Cole is lobbying for a “Super Speeder” bill to be passed in Georgia. The law will force violators driving more than 85 MPH on highways and four-lane roads to pay an additional $200 fine.
Cole hopes that Andre 3000 will help support the bill.
“He might be willing to help us market it,” Cole added.
If you ask me, this cry for attention is a sign that Andre’s acting career is drying up:
