Eyebrows all over Washington are at full staff over the reported hand-off.When All The Excess! contacted the Paris office of the Surete, Chief Inspector Dreyfus initially denied the report, yet later in the conversation suggested that Inspector Jacques Clouseau (pictured) would be perfect for the case.
Arbitron's PPM is getting the hairy eyeball from certain African-American, Hispanic, and Smooth Jazz broadcasters who are crying "Wa-a-a-ah" over initial PPM numbers, which in many cases are markedly lower than results generated through the previous crayon-on-paper methodology.
Should Clouseau indeed accept the probe, the PPM story could be an extra BFD, and A.T.E.! will bring you every French-kissed development.
