KNOW MUCH ABOUT ART
New York City Mayor Rudolph (Adolf) Giuliani said yesterday he
wants to slap "decency standards" on artwork at city-funded
museums after a photo depicting Jesus as a nude woman was unveiled at
the Brooklyn Museum of Art.
Calling the photo, which is titled
"Yo
Mama's Last Supper" disgusting and outrageous, the Mayor told
Untrue News, "If we had decency standards, I'd submit that
this photograph would never be exhibited in a building funded by the
taxpayers." Untrue News submits that if there were decency
standards, Giuliani would not be running the city.
In a related story, cellist Yo Yo Ma
sued Ms. Cox, claiming that the black woman depicted in the photo
"looks nothing at all like me."

OIL AND
WATER
A Texas oilman admitted yesterday that he was at the controls of
the US submarine Greeneville when it smashed into a Japanese trawler.
The businessman, John Hall, gave the first detailed account of the
collision and insisted that the ship's commander used the sub's
periscope to survey the surface and found no other ships in the area.
Hall was late to a Today Show interview, following a car accident.
Hall said his wife told him he was clear on the right.
THINGS GO
BETTER
Meeting on Friday, George W. Bush and Mexico's President Vicente
Fox discussed the opening of the US--Mexican border as a gesture of
good faith towards better relations between countries. In an
exclusive interview with Untrue News, President Fox said "Open
borders will not only mean easier emigration for our citizens, it will
make for a smoother flow of South American cocaine into the United
States. I don't know if Mr.. Bush was aware of this or not. "
Mr.. Bush was suffering from a stuffy nose and irritated septum and
could not be reached for comment.

NEWS OF SHOW BUSINESS
Watch "Survivor" this
week. Our spies report that one of the survivors gets voted off the island.
THE ACADEMY AWARD NOMINATIONS
by
Untrue News film and movie critic Avon Proctor.
The Day Oscar Cried: So the nominations for best film are in, the Academy
selected Crouching Tiger--Hidden Dragon, Erin Brokovich, Traffic, Chocolat (or
Chocolate, I could never figure it out) and Cast Away (or Castaway, I
could never figure it out). Apparently everyone has forgotten "Me,
Myself and Irene." And what about the flatulent humor of "3
Strikes", the heartwarming "Hanging Up" (How can Oscar overlook a
movie that stars Diane Keaton, Lisa Kudrow AND Meg Ryan?) and the nostalgic
anarchy of "Rocky and Bullwinkle." Robert De Niro just keeps on
getting funnier and funnier with each comedy he does. Look out Chaplin, here
comes De Niro! Oscar is not always fair in his choice of movie nominees, or in
the list of who gets the coveted tickets to the Academy Awards show and the good
parties afterwards. I have been Untrue News film and movie critic since 1997 and
have never once received a ticket to the awards dinner, or show, or post-show
party. I suppose that's because I tell it like I see it, and I don't hang out
with the Hollywood "in-crowd". Furthermore, any Academy that passes up
"The Patriot" is not necessarily one I'd like to be part of. End of
report.
