Early Buzz: Happy National Fluffernutter Day!

By Bob Sassone, Guest Blogger for Pop Candy
It's National Fluffernutter Day!

Hey gang! Here we go with my first Early Buzz roundup of links. Start a-clickin'!

- It's not only Columbus Day, it's also National Fluffernutter Day!

- Magician David Blaine's latest stunt — being jolted with a million volts of electricity at Manhattan's Pier 54 — ends tonight. But it probably isn't as dangerous as you might think.

-SPOILER ALERT! A major character will die in tonight's episode of Revolution.

-If you missed the Jon Stewart/Bill O'Reilly debate on Saturday (or were one of the many viewers plagued by streaming problems), you can now watch the whole thing here.

- You may have read Jerry Seinfeld's letter to the New York Times last week, but did you know he also wrote one to the Times in 1999?

- All this talk about Big Bird and PBS reminded me of this classic scene from The West Wing. It's Fozzie Bear, not Fuzzy Bear!

- R.B. Greaves died last week. You might not know the name, but some older Pop Candy readers will know the song.

- Slate has a great chart to help you figure out which apple is best for baking, bobbing, carving, and drinking.

- I don't believe this myself, but Wired thinks that reality TV just might make us smarter.

- Did Steve Jobs predict wireless networking and apps way back in 1983?

- For the month of October, Neato Coolville has changed its name to Neato Ghoulville, with a bunch of Halloween-related posts.

- On Nov. 13, Image Entertainment will release a Blu-ray Dick Van Dyke Showcomplete series set, and it will include extras not found on the previous set.

- This is sad: because of the web, Hallmark Cards is closing one of it's main plants and cutting 300 jobs.

- The next Rifftrax live event will be...Birdemic! Here's a list of participating theaters (and here's the trailer - it looks appropriately ghastly).
