Seriously? Diamonds are for idiots.


OK. Doesn't anyone think anymore? Everlon Diamonds (a division of DeBeers) has just launched a new TV commercial featuring the classic Sonny and Cher song -- "I Got You Babe". The commercial shows a young man trying to ice skate on a frozen pond, he slips and falls, and eventually grabs on to a tree to hold himself up.

SONY BONO DIED FROM INJURIES HE SUSTAINED WHEN HE STRUCK A TREE WHILE SKIING !!!!

Gotta be a Genius to Work at Google.

Another Reason to Hate Baseball......


A very big clean up awaited the New York Department of Sanitation last week. After the Parade of Champions held for the New York Yankees.

Over fifty tons of shredded paper was “distributed” during the parade to celebrate the Yankees’ World Series victory. NYC clean-up crews found salary and Social Security information, pay stubs, and office files among the trash.

The last ticker-tape parade was held in February 2008 for the New York Giants after their Super Bowl victory over the New England Patriots.

That parade reportedly cost $331,000. Most of the money was raised by NYC & Co., the city's marketing arm.

The New York Yankees' last parade through New York was in 2000 after the Bronx Bombers beat the New York Mets in five games for their 26th World Series title
