Do they show the British instant coffee ads featuring George Clooney in the USA? Wasn't that the basic premise of that movie from a couple of years ago with Bill Murray set in Japan? Where Western stars go and suckle on the corporate boob on the other side of the world to avoid harming their kudos back home..

It's frighteningly close to tax time here in the US. My guess is that Iggy had a choice between sell the summer house, go on tour, bend over for Satan. And it turns out Satan, while an unpleasant boss and head of the army of darkness, is a very considerate and gentle lover. I suppose this was inevitable once he’d shagged Patsey Kensit.
