Skate tough or don't

It's true, you can't copyright a title. "Wait, you mean the other CRASH, not the Cronenberg movie from the Ballard book. Oh." Et cetera. Still, it strikes me as weird that Nick Hornby's new YA novel about a skater kid has the same title as Lew Shiner's wonderful 1990 novel featuring skater kids, SLAM.

They should have a dance-off for the rights... because we know who would win.

Now, there's an episode of "Dancing with the Stars" that I would actually watch.
