Calorie Myths Part One

I have started this little hobby because I have found that not all marketing is created equal when it comes to counting calories.

Thumbs Down for Kid Rock, on Letterman

Excuse me if I'm wrong but is Kid Rock actually wearing a real wolf fur coat? I couldn't believe my eyes last night. I thought this guy was cool and hip and informed. FUR IS NOT COOL...Kid Rock. This was established years ago. Did you miss the traps the electrocutions the needless suffering and killing so that you can wear wolf on your back? And on stage no less?
Indoors???? What were you thinking?
I feel very disappointed and sad. I'm a fan no more.

Subway Sexual Crimes Increase and My Solution

I believe that sexual crimes against women in the subway will increase dramatically over the next year and let me explain why.

I have had the unfortunate experience lately of riding the subway on a regular bases especially during rush hour. It is a humiliating and degrading experience for me. I am routinely jammed in so tight that I had my hip in one guys crotch, my breasts up against another's back, my shoulders against a foreign body. I am packed so tight that I can smell the breath of ten different people, I know which woman are menstruating and the smell of body gas make me want to puke. Can you imagine that mothers are letting their young daughters experience this as a normal subway scenario? I will no longer let any daughter of mine ride the subway period.

This is a definitively disgusting way to journey to and from work on a daily bases. On top of that, this scenario has pervert plastered all over it. Where else can a good perv get a little touchy feely action without being caught? I am absolutely sure that pervs take the train at rush hours purposely just to enjoy a little harmless action and yes they get worked up enough to attempt a rape.

The SOLUTION? Well yes... I actually have one. Two cars at the back of the train should be reserved. One for men and one for women. That way I can have a choice of which way I want to experience my commute. Not only that women caught with infant that need to be fed can do it comfortably in the Women Only car.

Rape at Bowery Station on Lower East Side

Mr Torres was arrested yesterday for the rape of a 29 year old woman at the Bowery subway station on the lower east side. With a screwdriver in hand he threw the woman onto the tracks and began raping her. Thankfully due to the surveillance cameras Mr. Torres did not get far. Actually he was on his way back to the homeless shelter in the area.

I feel this is just a series of attacks on woman in the subway system that is going to continue to grow and if you read my next blog you will find out why.

SuperBowl Congratulations NYC

I am not a big sports fan but the finals of anything are exciting. I'd like to give a big shout out to NY. Congratulations!!
This wouldn't be a super bowl blog without however commenting on the commercials. Sadly the quality of this years Superbowl commercials has taken a big step back. Through a plethora of average car commercials to some really tasteless 30 second spots.
Even Jerry Seinfield got into the game selling an Accura.
By far the worst car commercial was for the Fiat 500, which was immature and insulting.
The car commercial I liked the best was for the Mustang. Not so much for the commercial but I really liked that car.

The two top commercials go to E-trade and Sketchers. E-trade didn't reinvent the wheel here. They stuck to what has been tired and true- those adorable little babies taking stock shop. Sketchers had this really cute French Bulldog named Quigly running around. I guess you just can't loose with dogs and babies.

The worst commercial really stood out for me. Tax Act.com told a story of a little boy who while in his swimming pool needs to urinate. Consequently, he runs inside the house to discover that there are no bathrooms available. What is his solution? Well, he jumps back into the pool where his sister is frolicking and lets it rip. I was absolutely disgusted. What does this have to do with filing taxes? Whoever wrote this one was a suppressed golden shower fetishist.

The other commercial that absolutely disgusted me was CarreerBuilding.com. I actually like this company and know many people that have had great success with their website. The commercial however was inhumane and irresponsible and showed many chimp babies walking around. Do you know what happens to most of these animals when they reach maturity and can no longer be managed? The majority suffer greatly.  Some are caged, sold as roadside spectacles and chained up for the rest of their lives. Some are sold as lab animals and will be housed in 3 x 4ft cages in which they can barely stand and most likely be isolated from all contact with their own kind.  I was disgusted by the lack of education that some of use have strived so hard to impart. You might want to check out a great organization called savethechimps if you want to get involved.

And there we have it.

Stephanie Madoff says Bernie Riuned my Life

There is no question in my mind that when you come home so find your husband hanging from a dog leash in the living room your life is changed forever. No family should have to go through that. But according to  Bazaar magazine Stephanie Madoff has moved on, changed her name and vows that her father-in law Bernie Madoff has ruined her life. In fact in the article she vows that she won't allow him to continue to do so.

Funny, however, I'm not sure how exactly Bernie has ruined her life. Seems he ruined it by the very nature of getting caught. Before that happened Stephanie, lived in the lap of luxury enjoying all the spoils that Bernie had to offer. I wonder if it ever occurred to her to even asked how such a fortune was amassed. Did she wonder where her diamonds came from or how that yacht got funded?. Come on Stephanie... Bernie didn't ruin your life. You loved Bernie, you loved his status and you loved the lifestyle afforded to you.  And if he hadn't been caught you'd still be enjoying his fortune.
