October 21 -- "Demand for more ugly people on TV". "Lecturer Trond Andresen of the Norwegian Institute of Technology in Trondheim accuses the media of discriminating against the ugly and emphasizing beautiful people whenever possible. Andresen wants higher ugly quotas on television. 'Ugly people should be spotlighted in the media in the same way that the media wishes to emphasize persons from ethnic minorities,' Andresen, a lecture at the Department of Engineering Cybernetics, said to newspaper Bergens Tidende."

August 1 -- Sic 'em on Segway. As the Los Angeles Times reported July 23 (registration process too frustrating to give them a link), one law firm is already announcing plans to organize lawsuits against Segway (also known as "It" or "Ginger"), the smart scooter whose backers think it could revolutionize urban transportation (see Dec. 13, 2001). "We believe that the Segway HT is potentially a legal nightmare and will be the basis for many lawsuits, both from the corporate and consumer side," explains the website, which sports the tastefully restrained name of www.Sue-It.com and was put up by a "successful corporate law firm" calling itself the "USA Immigration Law Center".
