PAULY
SHORE
PRANK
GETS
ATTENTION Comedian
Pauly
Shore
has
defended
the
8th
Street Comedy
Club
hoax
that
suggested
he'd
been
beaten
up
on
stage.
According
to
Shore,
he
was
merely
poking
fun
at
the
Odessa
audience
members
who
pretend
to
be
members
of
the
paparazzi.
One
of
the
audience
members
videotaped
the
act
and
posted
it
on
the
internet.
The
comic
let
the
footage
run
for
days
on
various
websites
and
then
confessed
it
was
all
a
set-up,
and
the
internet
fuss
proved
his
point
that
audiences
at
all
shows
now
turn
up
looking
for
something
they
can
capture
on
their
cell
phones
and
post
online.

IMMIGRATION BOYCOTT A NO-SHOW The heated debate over illegal aliens and securing our
border seemed to fall short of what the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) had hoped.
The bishop of Juárez urged Mexicans to stay out of
the United States. Nationally, LULAC called for "all individuals"
to refrain from spending any money. For the majority of local
consumers, it was business as usual - including Hispanic patrons. The
attempts stem from H.R.4437, which amends the Immigration and Nationality Act
to strengthen enforcement of the immigration laws and to enhance border
security. With images like the one displayed here, someone needs to be
told "This is not trying to fit-in as an American.
