If you purchased videos from this service, you'll probably want to read this con_moviefoneMILF.jpg Question #17 of Moviefone's year-end poll asks, "Who was the hottest movie star MILF?" At first glance, we were a little surprised to see an all-ages website asking whose mom you'd like to engage in sex with. On the other hand, maybe Moviefone is intentionally an adults-only site—the copy on the front page says, "Vote on your favorite movies, celebrities and nude scene," and we don't imagine too many of the "Enchanted" demo is going to have much of an opinion on that last category.

MILF continues to make its way unchecked into our national lexicon, so maybe it's time we all agree there's a kid-friendly definition, something like "Mom I'd Like as a Friend." Unfortunately, that won't keep us from immediately thinking of Mary Kay Letourneau if we ever hear a 10-year-old innocently say his best friend's mom is a MILF.

The companies were accused of receiving money from online gambling businesses to advertise illegal betting from 1997 through 2007.

As part of the settlement, the companies will pay cash to the U.S. government and provide millions of dollars worth of public service advertisements informing young adults and teenagers that Internet gambling is illegal.

We're so used to big companies that sacrifice customer service in the name of profit, or small companies that aren't prepared to handle queries, that it's nice to come across a company that does it well.
