Fatty Water

I recently went to the movie theater and this signage caught my attention. I wasn’t aware that water had calories. And someone please tell me why the small bottle has up to five but the large has zero.

McDonald’s Marketing: What are you thinking?

People are abuzz over the new McDonald’s commercial featured below.

Some are crying racism over the washed up R&B artist singing to his girl, trying to get her to share the chicken nuggets. Not being a fan of McDonald’s won’t get me to label it racism. I’d prefer to label it “garbage.” And I’d gladly debate [...]

Wordless Wednesday: Website Advertising

Is Vogue Magazine Racist?

Racism is rampant in the world we live in today. You cannot get away from it unless you live in a vacuum. Some people try to ignore race but their are those who won’t allow us to.
My friend sent me an e-mail last night with the following:
Subject: Spot the difference: what [...]

Misadventures while Christmas Shopping

I am constantly amazed how much truth is more interesting and bizarre than fiction.
So I happen to be Christmas shopping yesterday and I stopped at Penn Station (34th Street) at approximately 5pm to grab a bite to eat. Now, like any other major transportation hub, this one was alive and crammed with people itching to get [...]

Reading Rainbow: Calling Out For Help

There was a time when I would read one book a week. In order to save time between books I would purchase three books at a time just so I could do back to back reading. My purchases of books never took place inside a regular bookstore, it was actually the street vendors that supplied my reading material.
One [...]

How Much Do You Tip an A-Hole?

Disrespect, disgust, frustration, collectively consumed me last night on my way out of the bar.
Yes folks, I went out for a drink on a Monday night. I really shouldn’t have done it. I know better now for more reasons than I will put down in this post.
It was my plan to hit the gym, something I [...]

Eeeny Meeny Miney Mo… The Credit Card Wars

American Express, MasterCard – which one to pick?
Really all of it makes my head hurt. So in a rare moment of weakness (I’m sorry, I was tired and I couldn’t fight off the pop-ups any more) I checked out a “helpful” credit card comparison site. Okay, in the name of being “helpful” this site provided [...]

“Shoot” The Rapper and Win

It’s funny what people consider advertising these days. As I was reading an article on a London News site I came across the advertisement pictured above.
I’m not sure if they are saying “Shoot” the Rapper as in take his picture or “Shoot” the Rapper as in ‘kill him dead.’ However, there is something about this [...]

The Day Was Over Before It Started (Or So I Thought)

When I woke up this morning, I just knew I was going to get a lot done. I had the energy to make things happen. I even thought I’d be able to get a few things done on my blog.
But the IT department had another plan. A sign adorned the door of the office, “There [...]

The Ups and Downs of JetBlue

One again, Mother Nature strikes again. All of those poor saps that were trying to beat the snow, train, snain or any other nasty combination that seems to enjoy hitting the east coast around the holidays has struck again.
I unfortunately fell victim to the first storm on Valentine’s Day were I was supposed to go [...]

The Ultimate Hustle – Religion Misunderstood

I’ve never been one for organized religion, so when ever I’m may be trapped in a subway car with one of those folks who seem to be touched by the spirit, I politely turn the volume on my mp3 player way up and contemplate how many times can one damn a subway car to hell [...]
