Yep, they blurred a tree

I do love the pop ups.

Anchor Barbie

The cliché has become a reality. After years of television executives trying to find the next best thing, the one and only Barbie is stepping behind the news desk.
Mattel's iconic distortion of female reality is getting 2 new jobs: Computer engineer and TV anchor. Providing further proof that this blonde can't hold a job, these are Barbie's 125th and 126th job titles.
Girls picked the TV job in a popular vote. No word on what genius put her in the skirt and shoes that any real reporter will tell you just won't work in the field.

Bush Billboard

I am a little late in getting to this... a billboard along a Minnesota highway shows former President George W. Bush with the words "Miss Me Yet?" There was some mystery over who paid for the billboard. That's been revealed.

Oh, yeah one problem. The Saints won.
The paper printed the final score Colts 31 New Orleans 17. Here's the hastily rewritten correction.

Shoes....

Need I say more? Ladies, the next time someone says you have too many shoes, point to this story.

Hottest Fashion Accessory: An Orphan

Online video games are not known for their taste and restraint. But, a new one called "My Minx," has people upset.

Admittedly, these are the same people who are still not happy that sitcom couples are no longer sleeping in their Donna Reed-esc single beds.

"My Minx," is under fire because the secrets to being "stylish" are things like buying kids and adopting third-world kids. The so-called real-life kids of celebrity parents are singled out by name. As London's Daily Mail reports, in the game, Angelina Jolie's 4-year-old Zahara is said to be Ethiopian and a fan of eating guinea pigs, while Maddox enjoys cockroaches.

Candidate with a Funny Name

First let me be clear, we are in no way endorsing any candidates here on your (hopefully) favorite blog.
Today is election day in Illinois, the state that made Blagojevich governor. That by itself is always ripe for comedy. But, this ad for comptroller made us laugh.
After all, how many candidates have you seen run on the funny name platform.

It is a serious and often heart wrenching topic for many couple, the struggle to get pregnant. Now comes one of the strangest twist on this complicated subject.
Leave it to Cal-Berkeley, but a recent study that your furniture may play a role in fertility. It turns out harmful chemicals found in electronics, furniture, carpets, plastics and upholstery fabrics may be why you're having trouble getting pregnant.
The Sun baked egg-heads at Berkeley 97% of us have detectable levels of PBDEs (or polybrominated diphenyl ethers) in our bloodstream. If 97% of us have it, how can anybody get pregnant.
If you don't want to dig through the academia-talk, here is a version of the story in the L.A. Times. Hey that's as close to an understandable write-up I can find.
