	Bad News - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bad News are a spoof rock band, created for the Channel 4 television series The Comic Strip Presents...
		The episode, Bad News Tour, took the form of a spoof rockumentary, in which the incompetent band is followed on tour by an almost equally incompetent documentary crew.
		They also played a tour of universities and polytechnics as well as playing Reading Festival in 1987.They also had a suitably bad opening set at the Monsters of Rock festival at Castle Donington.

	Bad News biography : albums : icebergradio.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Bad News, the parody of a bad heavy metal band, began as a 1983 episode from the Comic Strip, an English comedy troupe whose members numbered three of the four Young Ones (Rik Mayall, Adrian Edmonson, and Nigel Planer) and writer Peter Richardson (other members included Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders).
		As a particularly British answer to Spinal Tap, Bad News could barely find the switch on their amp.
		The 1983 special came at a creative high point for the Comic Strip team -- it was one of many well-done shows in that season, but time, numerous repeats, and the rise of the VCR raised Bad News to cult status, mainly among college students.

	BBC - h2g2 - Bad News - the Spoof Heavy Metal Band
		Bad News is a spoof heavy metal band created in 1983 as part of the UK TV series The Comic Strip Presents.
		Their first film, Bad News Tour, follows the band as they set off on the first date of an extremely low budget British tour.
		While the rest of the 'documentary' was a spoof, the footage of the band on stage at Donnington was genuine, as the comics came dangerously close to becoming a real band in 1987.

		Tyler Hamilton's brave bid to finish the Tour de France has been dubbed "ridiculous" and worthy of some candle-lighting in the religious city of Lourdes by former Tour de France winner Stephen Roche.
		The Irishman, who in 1987 won the Tour, the Giro and the world championships, feels the brouhaha surrounding the American rider's efforts are doing the sport no favours.
		Hamilton has been racing with a double fracture of his collarbone, diagnosed by the Tour's official doctor, since a mass crash marred the Tour's first stage on July 6.

		BOSTON -- City councilors took a trolley tour of the proposed site of the new Fenway Park, and their impressions didn't bode well for the Red Sox.
		Six of the 11 councilors who took the tour yesterday said they'd vote against the team's $627 million ballpark plan, and several others said the proposal needed major revisions.
		The point, he said, was to show his colleagues the impact the project would have on neighborhood residents and businesses.

	Bad News Hughes
		Incapable of separating emotionally from the cultural trappings that surrounded them during the excitement, newness and turbulence of their teenage years, nothing will ever measure up to their standards.
		The positive: a few hired guns don’t embarrass themselves too bad (Rob Young’s piece highlighting electronic music’s roots in the classical avant garde of the forties doesn’t read like it was written by a crackhead), it’s pretty inclusive and the timelines and general facts are straight.
		All these losers had to do was keep making trashy, screechy glam-influenced metal and they’d probably still be living like Caligula today… But they got grandiose on the cocaine, inflated their petty spats way out of proportion and lost track of what made their music fun in the first place.

	Bad News Bears (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		First, the good news: With Billy Bob Thornton and his "Bad Santa" writers on board and on-a-roll Richard Linklater (the critically acclaimed "Before Sunset" and the audience-acclaimed "School of Rock") calling the shots, there was sufficient cause for hope that the picture would emerge as something else than yet another pointless remake.
		For those with a scorecard, the first "Bad News Bears" inspired a pair of inferior follow-ups -- 1977's "The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training" and 1978's "The Bad News Bears Go to Japan" -- neither of which featured Matthau or were directed by Ritchie.
		The new version is definitely better than the two sequels, with Thornton bringing his own curmudgeonly irreverent spin to the role of Coach Buttermaker, here a former pro baseball player-turned-exterminator who spent all of a couple of innings in a big league game.

		A recent case has shown that a hotel that arranged transport for some of its guests to and from the hotel was a tour operator and so was required to account for VAT using the special scheme.
		However, by buying the transport for resale the hotel became a tour operator and the travel became standard-rated.
		Any business which buys accommodation, travel, meals, entertainment etc., and sells them on may become a tour operator and must take care to ensure that the correct tax is accounted for.

	U.S. Effort Aims to Improve Opinions About Iraq Conflict (washingtonpost.com)
		The Bush administration, battling negative perceptions of the Iraq war, is sending Iraqi Americans to deliver what the Pentagon calls "good news" about Iraq to U.S. military bases, and has curtailed distribution of reports showing increasing violence in that country.
		The unusual public-relations effort by the Pentagon and the U.S. Agency for International Development comes as details have emerged showing the U.S. government and a representative of President Bush's reelection campaign had been heavily involved in drafting the speech given to Congress last week by interim Iraqi Prime Minister Ayad Allawi.
		The memo says the presentations are "designed to be uplifting accounts with good news messages." Rumsfeld's office, which will pay for the tour, recommends that the installations seek local news coverage, noting that "these events and presentations are positive public relations opportunities."

	Bad News Bears
		This is not to say that the original film is much better than a button-pushing vehicle for the Walter Matthau persona, but to suggest that, for what it was, at least it was better than another button-pushing vehicle for the Billy Bob Thornton persona.
		Adding an East Indian and a kid in a wheelchair but otherwise keeping the racial mix of Ritchie's film largely intact, Linklater's Bad News Bears is often a shot-for-shot redux--the worst kind of cover song that does nothing new that's good while failing to accentuate whatever made the first worth updating to begin with.
		Bad News Bears, on the other hand, is little more than a revival tour of a hoary old favourite, and one that actually highlights by its minor elisions and additions exactly how much more timid we've become over the last thirty years.

		Unlike the original Bad News Tour, this sequel is much closer, in content, to This is Spinal Tap.
