I wondered if he was joking, but I'm not sure he was. He seemed deadly serious about the use of the Santa Claus image as a sales tool. He must be able to find a better way to make a name for himself.
Brandy? I always thought it was sherry - or milk. Hugs and kisses from snotty children? Does that happen? And does the image make any of us want to get fat and drunk and go chimney-surfing? One of us - him or me - needs to get out more!

I knew that fried chicken was popular in the southern states but nobody ever told me that you have to be black to eat it.
Reminds me of a bit of a fuss in a local government office in London, when someone got hold of a joke pencil in the shape of a banana. That too was condemned as racist.
Great line from this article, Tezza:
"These clowns must lie awake at night trying to think of things to be offended by."

I was confused too, Terrianne ... it's an advertisement about people who have gone to watch a cricket match. One cricket fan is stuck in around other cricket fans who are cheering for the other team so he generously shares his food and they become quiet. The reason why the fans happened to be from the West Indies was because they West Indies team was playing here. If the fans had been from New Zealand (for example) would anyone have been offended by the New Zealand fans being offered chicken?

Spare a thought (and a prayer, if you're inclined that way) for the Haitians. They already live in the poorest country in the western hemisphere and this latest earthquake isn't going to help make life any better for them.

In Australia they will be Trying a new way to stop speeding- dummy cops. They will dress a scarecrow up in a policeman shirt and put it in a police car. They will then drive the policecar to a street and, like magic, people think it is a cop and stop speeding. I think that is awesome!

I was just watching the news from Haiti and I know the desperation that they must be feeling. That does not excuse the young men shown running through what is left of the town with huge, menacing machetes. The help will come and this is only making it worse.

Not impressed then,Dave? Just another symptom of the ar*e-covering paranoia and incompetence that's rampant in western governments just now. 81,000 on the 'watch list'! Then you get a 'man' like Abdul Mudallad flying on a US plane with apparent impunity,after his own father warned various government bodies about his terrorist links. SHEESH!
And these are the people in whom we trust?

The last time I flew, the TSA officials coniscated my can of shaving cream. I could sort of understand that (sort of). On my way home they confiscated a tub of cheese spread I had bought from my niece, who was selling it to raise money for her junior high school. I got a good scolding from the TSA officials, who informed me that cheese spread is a "gel."
