Someone in the CBS press department is having a very good time today at ABC's expense. The two networks have been embroiled in a legal skirmish over ABC's new reality program "The Glass House," which is, CBS argues, a rip-off of their hit show "Big Brother." CBS even asked for a restraining order to stop the show's June 18 debut, which was denied.

Today, the following press release was issued:

America is doomed.

That's the obvious conclusion now that Mark & Bopper have been eliminated from "The Amazing Race."

Two salt-of-the-earth guys, united in friendship with no regard to the artificial barriers of race, they happily and graciously experienced the world without a note of arrogance.

They were the best of what we can be, what we strive to be.

The Race should have done anything it could to ensure their victory. Bunch up the teams at the airport. Make the next few detour tasks specific to Clay County, Kentucky. Knee cap that whiny girl from Big Brother.
