Michael writes: Salon has an interview with Justin Timberlake of boy band *NSYNC, who complains that nobody has written a computer virus to honor his band, or his more recent solo career.
“Girl singers seem to get all of the attention from computer viruses,” said Timberlake. “Britney has one, J-Lo has one, and now even Avril Lavigne has one that sends people to her Web site. I don’t see any *NSYNC virus out there giving us free publicity.”
The Virus Writers’ Union released a statement denying their responsibility for this problem. “We aren’t obligated to publicize any particular musicians, it’s up to the individual virus writers, and right now our members do tend to be teenage boys. Anyway, *NSYNC is one of several bands mentioned in the GWV virus.”

As Dave Barry would say, we're not making this up!

Hey, stop playing off of my psuedonym!
What I'd like to know is which backstreet boy isn't gay.
