TELETUBBIES CAUSE BRAIN DAMAGE

CYBERSPACE -- An online editor was rendered completely inane yesterday upon his third viewing of the "Teletubbies" TV program. The show, a British import designed for children who find "Barney" too cerebral, involves four demon-spawn creatures ruled by a Satanic baby-force that hovers like a sun above their putrescent green hill-world. Airing on PBS every morning at 8 a.m. (in most markets), the "Teletubbies" world-domination program sends out a powerful death-ray that turns the viewer's mind to Malt-o-Meal in nanoseconds. Victims of the show are known to say things like "Again, again!" or "Big hug!" uncontrollably, followed by drooling and mad convulsions. When interviewed, the online editor, known to readers only as The Film Bum, said this: "Eh-oh!"

IN OTHER NEWS, director Werner Herzog rocked the film-journalism world this week when he sat still long enough to conduct an interview. The appearance of the icon, who is so megalomaniacal he makes Francis Ford Coppola look like Claire Danes, stunned cinema scribes everywhere because they sincerely thought an interview with James Toback would be as good as it got. Elsewhere, a writer compared the year's two "liar president" movies; a cinephile summed up the films of Ida Lupino; John Sayles like, totally wowed a viewer; and a Nicolas Cage movie put a normally alert man to sleep. No arrests were made.
