Oct 28th 2009 11:25AM While I am glad they are getting help for their baby, this is their 7th child? Wow. Well they are in for a long haul with this child. I hope their other 6 children don't get neglected too much over it.
Septuagenarian Crustacean to Be Freed From NYC Restaurant {Pawnation}
Oct 28th 2009 11:14AM Larry the Lobster should go to the New York Aquarium where he can live safely away from lobster fishermen. He is also very old for a lobster so that would be something of interest to people at the aquarium, and because Larry is so big. I hope Larry doesn't end up in some fishing net in the future.
David Cross Snorted Cocaine 'Super Close to the President' {Popeater}
Oct 23rd 2009 2:09PM I doubt that he did that. He was searched by security before coming inside, and watched by security as well at times. sounds like a publicity stunt to me. Big deal.

Ralph Lauren Photoshopped Ad Saga - Altered Image or Model's Actual Size? {Stylelist}
Oct 8th 2009 11:52AM Ralph Lauren needs to understand their audience. They are showing a model (whether photoshopped or not) as emaciated and unhealthy. When someone sees that they will think: "Only size 0-8 can buy our apparrel". They need to get with reality. Normal people don't look like that. Ralph Lauren advertisers are making their product look too exclusive targeting those skinny people. In these times, people can't afford their clothes as it is, and adding the pressure to be that skinny is rediculous. Normal and overweight people just laugh, because there are so many other designers out there that make clothes to fit them. Ralph Lauren is wasting their time and advertising space.
Hit the mute! Why TV commercials are so loud, and how that may change {Daily Finance}
Oct 8th 2009 11:27AM Commercials are made loud to get your attention. It only gets our attention to mute them. There are so many of them as it is, and only about 45 minutes of the actual tv show.
I can't see why it would be so hard to lower the volume of these commercials. It's all the legal red tape. Our tv has a SAP funtion that controls the volume of the commercials, but it caused other problems with a channel bleeding into another one. If we are paying for cable tv or whatever, there should be an option on the menu to turn those commercials down. Perhaps Comcast and sattellite tv can get that going. It would get alot more people interested in their service.
Beef industry gets a closer look as story of paralyzed woman hits the press {Daily Finance}
Oct 7th 2009 11:53AM It is so sad to read about this kind of thing. The meat packing plants are costing themselves so much money with not following the safetey and prevention plans put forth. Since when does the USDA allow these plants not to follow the safety protocols? There needs to be some major overhauling going on in management! There is also contamination at the slaughterhouses as well, starting even before the meat reaches the packing plant. It looks as if those workers don't even care about the matter. This is enought to make me rethink eating beef.
Next day air package takes 14 years to deliver {WalletPop}
Oct 6th 2009 2:01PM Linda,
UPS isn't supposed to leave a package at your doorstep unless you chose the deliverer chose the option to have it delivered without a signature. If you ordered something, check with them to see what their policy is, and tell them what happened. A lot of people use UPS because it is cheaper. However, you can tell them to use something else.
