SNL Weekend Update: Scrabble rule change?!

[trashman]

On last night's "Weekend Update", one story regarded a rules change in Scrabble allowing proper nouns. The story ended with a joke about Jenga changing the rules to allow glue

The BBC carries the story at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8604625.stm, though it would seem to only apply to the British version, with rules changes proposed by Mattel. It also does not appear to apply to tournament play.

Will I someday get to make my dream play of CCMNOOOOOW? (Spoiler below)

Spoiler:

OCONOMOWOC, a lovely town near Milwaukee, Wisconsin. See http://www.ci.oconomowoc.wi.us/ for more info...
