I scream, you scream, we all scream for --candidates?

— -- With the summer ice cream season melting fast, the folks at Baskin-Robbins have concocted a new reason for political junkies to stop in for ice cream this fall: partisan flavor mixes.

For fans of Democrat Barack Obama, the chain is selling "Whirl of Change" (peanut nougat ice cream with chunks of chocolate-covered peanut brittle and caramel).

For fans of Republican John McCain, it's scooping "Straight Talk Crunch" (white chocolate ice cream with caramel, chocolate pieces, nuts and red candy).

No flavor for Ralph Nader yet.

Sawing real logs

Attention snoring lumberjacks: SnoreStop wants to hear from you.

The stunt-loving company — which once was the top eBay bidder for ad space on a guy's forehead — is asking lumberjacks to describe, in a single paragraph, both their work and their problems with "sawing logs" at night.

SnoreStop will select 25 submissions each month and send each of the winners a three-month supply of the natural, homeopathic snoring products (for more details, go to SnoreStop.com).

"Log sawing should be a daytime and not a nighttime activity," says Christian de Rivel, executive vice president of SnoreStop maker Green Pharmaceuticals.

The boys are back

Fictional Hollywood hottie Vincent Chase and his gang of friends from the sex-charged HBO show Entourage may not be virgins, but they were on hand last week to help Virgin America airlines launch a temporary class of service ("Entourage" class) and a new, permanent route from New York to Las Vegas.

The show's stars — in real life, Adrian Grenier, Jerry Ferrara, Kevin Dillon and Kevin Connolly — as well as Virgin Group founder Richard Branson — were among partygoers at a fete in a hangar at New York's JFK Airport.

The party — an element of a larger HBO/Virgin America deal brokered by Civic Entertainment Group — cross-promoted the route and a month-long "Entourage-class" upgrade in first class (including Dom Pérignon champagne, Entourage-theme blankets and Godiva treats) and Sunday's opening of the show's new season on HBO.
