Get Your Red Hots Here

1. Michelle Unbound. Best line, “I’m constantly reminded that I will never be smart enough to be a Democrat.” I know the feeling.

2. The Ten Most Hated People on the Internet. I don’t know many of them, and it’s a shame that one is a military member (although he deserves the scorn), but I wish Rachael Ray were higher than number 10. She makes brunettes look bad. And no wonder her voice is so raspy - she is a chain-smoker.

3. The French do love their fries. Eco-friendly since you could bring it with you when you go to McDonalds.

4. General Petraeus kicked Democrat butt yesterday. Well, that’s my interpretation anyway. What he did was answer every question they had with facts and reason and watched them make fools of themselves giving speeches about surrender. If you’re interested The Global Times has lots of video.  Just scroll down to see them.

5. And they say guys have weird shower habits.

6. Computer programming languages and their celebrity equivalents. I guess computer nerds will get this. I got some of it, which means I am only half-computer nerd. (Via Southern Appeal)

7. Navy Seal is awarded the Medal of Honor. I posted about this before, but it is worth repeating.

8. Yep, this is about as interesting as a cat gets, alright.

9. Neil gets a haircut. I cut my own. An old military habit. Saves me a lot of money, too.

10. Babies. Or little pink aliens. I am not sure which. Cute either way.

4. Democrats determined to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

5. Speaking of the war, the country remains split on the surge in Iraq. Along party lines. Surprise, surprise.

When Bras Attack

A Greenville, S.C., woman who filed a lawsuit against Victoria’s Secret saying that a defective bra seriously cut one of her breasts has submitted a new version of the suit correcting an error in the depth of the wound, Greenville Online reported.

In the original lawsuit, Jessica Lang claimed a bra she bought at the mall “malfunctioned” and caused a cut in her chest and breast “nearly six inches wide and six inches deep.” The new claim, filed Thursday, drastically changes that allegation to “3 inches long by 1/4 inch deep, resulting in scarring,” Greenville Online reported.

Lang’s attorney, Nathan Hughey, says the mistake was a result of a clerical error in a legal document when the lawsuit was originally filed in 2005. It has since been moved from state to federal court. Victoria’s Secret claims no wrongdoing in the alleged injury. They say Lang’s injuries were caused by her own negligence.

Lang claims she was fired from Alegis Group in Greenville after she had to miss work to recover from the bra-induced injury. Hughey told Greenville Online that the bra “broke and the wire came through and lacerated her breast.”

The lawsuit claims that Victoria’s Secret “so negligently and carelessly designed, manufactured, constructed, assembled, inspected, and sold the brassiere that it was dangerous and unsafe for its intended uses” and caused Lang “lost wages, pain and suffering, future disability, loss of prospective business relations and medical expenses.”

The thing that has me curious about this whole story is exactly how such an injury would result in a “loss of prospective business relations.” That is a business I would like explained to me in great detail. By the brunette in the picture. Over some drinks and in a dark discrete place.

Oh yes, the picture has nothing to do with the story. She’s just hot.

Here’s the thing . . . as one gets older one learns that everyday bras are not the dangerous kind. Much like tame house cats, they rarely cause problems except for unsightly sagging as they age. It’s the wild, exotic bras that cause you trouble. Sure, they start out cute and cuddly but, much like women in their late-30s, 40s and 50s, when they are full-grown cougars you never know what they will do. It’s a recipe for a trip to the emergency room, traction, and stitches I tell ya.

Absolut Nonsense

Rest assured I absolutely will not be drinking Absolut vodka after seeing their Mexico ad campaigns. That’s no small loss to that company as loving wife and I do like our vodka.

Hopefully this will gain some momentum in the blogosphere and enough Americans will stop buying their vodka to make it sting a bit. I cannot imagine America is not a bigger vodka market than Mexico, land of tequila.

UPDATE:

I emailed Absolut Vodka to complain about the ad and got an email back saying that the email box was closed and no longer receiving email. Wonder why?

UPDATE:

Absolut posts a non-apology-apology on their website. Predictable. Screw em, I’m drinking Skyy, Stoli or Grey Goose from now on.

UDPATE:

Hi to the visitors from Sweden. If you are Absolut people, you really screwed-up. Sucks to be you today.

UPDATE:

This Absolut story has legs - long, tight, tanned, legs - just Google blogs and see. Of course Ace takes a look at it in the way only he can, and it’s from him I steal this great take on the Absolut ad.

As Ace paraphrases the Absolut(ly) lame apology excuse, “it reflects a Europe that many Russians feel would be more ideal.”

UPDATE:

Even more Absolut World parodies

Don’t Worry, It’s Only Jesus

And not Mohammad in these interesting Christian items.  So I will probably keep my head a while longer.

And my favorite.
