There are not many situations where you wish a mother would bring her baby into a strip club, but here's one: Police in Louisville, Ky., arrested 43-year-old Laura DiPrimo and 28-year-old Thomas Lee for leaving their infant in their car, outside the strip club, in 91-degree heat. At 11 p.m. Both parents admitted to drinking, and "Lee was wearing an ankle bracelet because he was supposed to be on home incarceration in Clark County, Indiana." [WAVE]

Yesterday a lawsuit revealed Scientology's brutal sweatshops. Next week a series of reports on Anderson Cooper 360 will apparently reveal further violence by leader David Miscavige (pictured) towards his minions. Scientology denies the claims. Again. [AC360]

When the sex shop Love Boutique placed Internet kiosks in its California storefront, for customers' "private use," the local zoning board decided Love Boutique was giving the clientele a way to find people to play with their new toys with, too, and threatened to pull its business license. The owners, sex biz conglomerate Deja Vu, are crying First Amendment violations and have brought a lawsuit against the City of Industry. Forget the legal details — what's the crime in being servicey?For the few folks who don't buy their smut and butt plugs from Amazon.com or Good Vibrations, having a nice little private corner to do naughty things on the Internet sounds like a great value-add. Where are customers supposed to surf — at home, with their spouse lurking, or at the office, with net-nanny software monitoring every click? It just doesn't seem fair. If high schoolers can take over the Apple Store to flirt on their MySpace pages, why can't real grownups have a clean, well-lit place to cruise for sex?

If one 30-second Super Bowl spot fetched $2.7 million, as we've been told approximately 2.7 million times going into this year's festivities, then our cursory calculations put the cost of this Bud Light/Semi-Pro crossover ad at somewhere around the $7.1 million mark.

NBC has relearned, at great cost, a valuable lesson. The Web is more than the Wild West. One doesn't profit by simply squatting on land; it actually has to be developed. Beth Comstock, NBC's president of integrated media, dazzled the Net with NBC's acquisition of women's health site iVillage. She boasted how the purchase gave NBC "scale and a profitable, established platform to expand [its] digital efforts." It would allow the company to connect "more deeply online, on mobile and on demand with key consumers throughout their various life stages." Now, Comstock admits she bet wrong, to the tune of $600 million.

Well this sounds familiar. One blog's erroneous report caused Apple shares to fall today. The stock was down 7% after TheStreet.com published a story about cutbacks in iPhone production. [CNBC]

You've seen one Google office, you've seen them all. But Brier Dudley of the Seattle Times had a column to write, so he ate some free food and turned in yet another dutiful profile of the lavish cafeterias in Google's Kirkland office. The outpost of Google is mostly notable for being a stone's throw from Microsoft and Amazon.com's headquarters, whence it's poached countless engineers with free food and other soft benefits.

So long as we are in town, we have a standing Sunday lunch date at Old Town Bar. We don't live too far from the place, but that's not what makes it our regular Sunday afternoon stop. It symbolizes pretty much everything that once was New York. The burger is far better than it needs to be and the pours are generous and the bar-wenches are surly with hearts of gold; were we restricted to one tavern for the rest of our lives, this would be it. So we were rather upset by this interview with Sarah Vowell, in which she professes great love for the Old Town, and whose affectless, NPR-ready voice gives us tiny myocardial infarctions each time we hear it. Sarah, please find another tavern. We're plenty happy with the crowd now; we'd hate to have to listen to some deeply overgeneralized statement on our country's culture while eating our burger. Thanks.
