Quickies: ‘S/He’ Potato Chips Coming Next Year

• Herr’s will be introducing “His” potato chips in honor of Father’s Day. It’s just going to be the regular flavor, but if it’s successful, they’re going to keep it on the market. I have no idea who the market is for “His” potato chips, once the novelty wears off. Straight women and gay men? Misogynists? Potato chip completists? [KYW 1060]

• YouTube and iFilm have been forced to pull the Colbert clip at the White House Correspondents Dinner after CSpan asked them to. (Yes, apparently CSpan’s stuff is copyrighted.) The full clip, though, on Google Video.) Of course, you can’t embed it on a webpage, because letting people do what they want with content makes sense. Sigh. [AP/Yahoo!]

• A junior at Upper Darby HS was suspended after someone discovered mean postings about a teacher he wrote on Myspace. The ACLU intervened and the suspension was, uh, suspended, but he’s totally going to get an F from that teacher. [KYW 1060]

• The New Jersey primaries! They happened yesterday! That’s about it! [Inky]

Leftovers: Reefer madness

• I’ve said before that all you need to do is make jokes about weed and people will go nuts. That being said, here’s a story about Joey Sweeney and Adam Arcuragi high, and other related MP3s and goodies. [Philebrity]

• That being said, here’s some more news: Upper Darby has been chosen as a “Weed and Seed” site. You take the EL westbound to get there, kids. [KYW 1060]

• Here’s a riddle for you: What’s more boring than Blinq? Give up? A 5,000-word feature on its editor! I kid, I kid. But, still, a rimshot, please? [Blue Plate Special]

• If you’re ever down, just remember this: You don’t root for a team known as Red Bull New York. [AP/ESPN.com]

• Want to know what the (ridiculously awful) Star & Buc Wild show is responsible for? Read this: “Want to know how to sell more junk food, sweatshop clothes and Mercedes? First, you make people feel bad about their lot in life, and then offer them relief through consumption. When people feel low, they consume to comfort themselves.” I once bought a $100 pair of jeans. I blame Barsky. [Citypaper]

Headline of the day, non sequitur edition

This shows how highly valued the governorship of Maine is: only slightly below police chief of Upper Darby.
