Today is Monday, October 15, 2012, and nothing seems stable, does it? It might all crash down on you at any moment, a prop set on frayed rope, too heavy to hold. Bad vibes, man. There's the door. Here we go.
- Nervous times continue with confirmations of Philip K. Nixon's return published by the popular music store Bandcamp, a stark warning that the noted horrorist may plan to unleash a cache of "XXL Nerve" substance on an unsuspecting populace in this build up to election day.
- "Detective Spinal Dog" premiered with below expected numbers, but the head of Dartsvision has said the network plans to give the show "time to grow". The high concept — a crippled dog in a wheel chair solving crimes, similar to Raymond Burr's "Ironside" — appears to have put off potential viewers, but the show has won over several critics, and a devoted fan following has blossomed online.
- A film adaptation of "The Wizard of Lezbo Oz", based on Electric Lulu & The Good Vibration's double length concept album of the same name, has beaten all rivals in a slate of select screenings, coming out with around $9700 per show, a total of nearly one million dollars over the weekend.
- The editor-in-chief of the Libreville Reporter, Javier Wolverton, publicly declared in an online editorial that all the news printed by his "preposterous rag" is "absolute fantasy [...] has always been entirely made-up [...] pure nonsense [...] complete hokum", before resigning from his position and checking himself into a clinic for unspecified reasons. Spokespeople for the Reporter, and the Libreville Apex Company that owns it, moved to reassure that the contents of their county local paper are accurate and stand the test of public scrutiny, and that the outburst was brought on by mental exhaustion due to stress.
And so went the week In Infictive. Except for that one bit, but we'll let you tell us about it in the comments.
