Good stuff, Cubs.

It wuld be interesting to see what links are most popular in your news of the week posts. Perhaps a neat little poll like thing that showed how many people clicked a link. I'd guess that the Moneymaker piece would win this week (even though the author pays too much respect to MM; as usual when mainstream media goes poker. On a side note regarding mainstream media: a Swedish poker player recently won a reality show on national tv, and the tabloid press presented him as "the 34th best poker player in the world", since that was his place in WSOP 2001.).

Cubswin,

You the man! I saw what I thought was idiotic, a women selling her pregnant stomach for advertising on ebay.

She got $8,900 from Ebay from Sunpoker. I should have thought of that with my wife. Damn it.

The same thing happened here in aus but ebay pulled the auction.

I think she was allowing the kid to be used for 2 yrs worth of advertising too.
