Jun 4th 2007 5:44PM Considering that Ripley’s was in Times Square in the 30’s and 70’s as well as the NY World’s Fair, Ripley made his home in NY, and broadcast several of his radio shows from NY, it is hard to see the new museum as an “outsider” invading Times Square.
I don’t believe a “local” business could survive in Times Square so its nice to have Ripley back.

Feb 1st 2007 5:27PM Heather Has 5 Husbands Author Pledges Royalties To Imprisoned Teen's Defense
New Jersey- Heather Has 5 Husbands is billed by its author, Mike Drake, as "an adult bedtime story". "It's a simple tale" says Drake, "Inspired by a girl I know who had joked about being a polyandrist, or as she said, a reverse-polygamist". Filling fifty pages, the charming story is brought to life by the work of popular NY graffiti artist OH!, a mysterious underground figure who jealously guards his privacy.
Since he is known mainly for writing about retail procedures for magazines like ASB, an "adult bedtime story" may seem like a departure from his milieu, but Drake dismisses such comments, "I have many interests, and Heather Has 5 Husbands was such a popular story with my friends that I simply had to share it with the world. Especially since sharing it helps raise money for Genarlow Wilson and bring attention to his plight".
Genarlow Wilson is a young man serving a ten year prison sentence in Georgia for receiving consensual oral sex from a female schoolmate at a New Year's Eve party.
"It's a shocking and extremely frightening situation" says Drake, "I don't believe kids under eighteen should be having sex, but I also don't believe that a young man should have his life ruined because he did".
Drake has pledged 25% of his royalties from the sale of Heather Has 5 Husbands to Genarlow and/or his appeal fund. "State Representative Tyrone Brooks, the author of the Georgia statute that Genarlow was convicted under, has clarified that the law was intended to protect children from adult sexual predators, not to police teenage sex" said Drake, "Georgia has even amended the law to treat consensual oral sex, between teenagers no more than four years apart, as a misdemeanor. In light of these facts, I think Genarlow should be released. He has already spent 2 years in prison, that's twice the maximum amount one can be sentenced to for a misdemeanor in Georgia".
Heather Has 5 Husbands can be purchased through www.HeatherHas5Husbands.com and on Amazon.com. It is also available at Playtime in Edison NJ (home of The Adult Star Path Of Fame). To learn more about Genarlow Wilson, visit www.WilsonAppeal.com .
