Thanks for watching "News To Me" this weekend. While you're thinking about it, go ahead and tell TiVo that you want to record the show. It's cool if you want to put us at the bottom of your season pass list because "News To Me" is on a bunch of times over the weekend... so there's not too much chance that you'll have a conflict.

No DVR? That's cool... "News To Me" is on 8 times over the weekend so you'll have plenty of opportunities to watch it "live" when it comes on right after "Not Just Another Cable News Show." Saturday at 7:30pm and 9:30pm. Sunday at 12:30am, 5:30am, 7:30pm and 9:30pm. Monday morning at 12:30am and 5:30am. All times Eastern.

Meanwhile, here's the list of links to what we featured this weekend on "News To Me:"

North Korea:
Shane Smith's full series called "The Vice Guide to North Korea" is on VBS.TV.

Stuff White People Like:
Christian Lander has comprised a very non-PC and very funny list of "Stuff White People Like." #10 – Wes Anderson Movies. See his full list at stuffwhitepeoplelike.com and get a better appreciation of this satirical masterwork. (White people also like hyperbole.)

If you get a kick out of his list, you might also want to check out a couple of other "stuff (insert race/sexual preference/religion here) people like" sites like "stuff educated Black people like" and "stuff Asian people like."

Hurricane Gustav:
See Gary Tuchman's full report on Russell Gore who decided to ignore the manditory evacuation order and stay in New Orleans to honor the memory of his wife who died in Hurricane Katrina. Why he won't leave.

Check out these iReports taken at the height of the storm:
iReporter DawnVivant shows us Gustav in Lafayette, LA.
iReporter ljmagnuson shows us waves topping the industrial canal levee on Lower 9th Ward in New Orleans.
iReporter hollermn shows us the effects of Hurricane Gustav just outside of Gulfport, MS.

Colorado tornado:
iReporter Andrew Frederick shot some amazing video of a funnel forming over the 11 Mile Reservoir in Colorado. Waterspout? Tornado? You decide... watch.

Mancaves:
Check out the iReports that inspired our story here.

Will it blend?
Watch as Tom Dickson demonstrates the amazing blending power of the TotalBlender by pureeing, liquefying or smoothiefying everything from a toilet plunger to an iPhone on his site willitblend.com.

NEXT WEEKEND:
Eric talks to Daryl Hall of Hall and Oates about his webshow Live From Daryl's House!

i just finished watching about 10 minutes of the video diary of the reporter who went to N. Korea with a contraband videocam....it wasn't until he started showing stills of then prez Johnson and talking about the paranoia of the N.Koreans concerning the US,..and the feeling they seem to have over there about our country wanting a piece of them in some way.....suddenly i'm thinking; how paranoid are they really? Over the last 30 yrs, i seem to recall one tv show constantly being thrown in my face..M*A*S*H. Now, i know some tv shows are so popular as to be a nostalgic icon and a mainstay...but M*A*S*H?
Before cable became mainstream, MASH was on every night on network tv, usually the last show aired in my area (phila). ..basically, nothing else was on BUT MASH, and at that hour, you fell asleep during the show. Now, with cable and satellite, I'm finding MASH airing at least 3 times a day or more, with episodes running 2 and 3 at a time consecutively...if there was EVER a suspicion of mental suggestion techniques, this would raise the question to me.
Is M*A*S*H really that popular a show? with MTV, SHO, HBO, PORNO, cartoons and religion,..is M*A*S*H all that these days? Are we trying to get US citizens accustomed to the fact that we'll be seeing a lot of N.Korea in the future, as we so painfully have done so in the past?
