Thanks to the always interesting blog Agency Spy, I read about a story from Brand Republic which noted that yet another Olympic team thought it would be a great idea to imitate the Chinese people by pulling back the corners of their eyes. However, instead of just an egg on their faces, they happen to [...]

I’m sure we have all been inspired by the Olympics this week, but the state of Iowa is taking it a bit far. Apparently gymnast Shawn Johnson has instilled so much pride in her home state that they have decided to honor her by carving her likeness out of butter. Seems a bit odd to [...]

Ok, I’m just gonna come out and say it: I cannot stand Rachael Ray. This woman is so saccharine, fake and cloyingly annoying! It truly amazes me that anyone watches her for more than 30 seconds. How did a woman who has no real kitchen experience become America’s “go to girl” for cooking advice? I [...]
