I have a question.
Why was there the It reference to Fat Boy at the end of one of the news shows.

I didn't get that one.


O'Donnel mentioned something about Fat Boy, That is a really good mixed metaphor, since it is the clown that is not a clown, that also is not really something pretending to be a clown that is not a clown.

Pennywise is about layers, clown, evil clown, but really a front for something else, usually it is around the topic of greed, but it also is about delusions.

Other parts of that movie are interesting, it has the slingshot and silver stones, and also silver streak bike. It also has the memory thing, like in Dr. Who where only those in the center of the eye remember.

Steven King has some great stuff, but I don't get the reference, did anyone get that?

Side note, not part of any narrative or anything, just curious.

1. I was only half watching the O'Donnell show, but I think
it was in reference to a story he had done earlier in the show.
He was talking about the Obama team's refusal to let the Boston Hearld have a pool reporter at an event.
The story discussed how others handled hostile press, such as Ted Kennedy.
Here is where my attention was diverted. He was talking about a headline the Herald once had that referred to Kennedy as 'fat boy'

Here is the segment with the 'fat boy' comment cut off at the very end.
