Doesn't appear that Peanutweeter will be back anytime soon. They got nailed for copyright violations (despite claiming fair use), and had to cease and desist. The site itself is back up, but with rants against lawyers in place of cartoons. Reminds me of what happened with the old Dysfunctional Family Circus site (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysfunctional_Family_Circus), which was much nastier.
I'm an entertainment editor at MSNBC.com, and have maintained Pop Culture Junk Mail since August, 1999. The New York Times called the site "one of the best places to explore pop culture online," and Entertainment Weekly included it on their Top 100 Web Sites list. If you like weird food, strange products, and 1970s and 1980s nostalgia, PCJM is your home away from home.
I have a brand new BOOK, written with Brian Bellmont. "Whatever Happened to Pudding Pops? The Lost Toys, Tastes and Trends of the '70s and '80s." Buy it online, and follow our retro reminiscing on our GenXtinct blog,Facebook, and Twitter.

As of 6/17, Peanutweeter seems to be down. Let's hope it's temporary.
