WNBA


Dear God,
Do you watch the WNBA? Bet it's a good test of your omniscient skill-set.

Economic Stimulus



Dear God,
Can you still take the Bible Belt seriously? Sometimes 'impressive' is an understatement of what people are capable of in large like-minded groups. SafeHarbor real estate and development has set its sights on fabricating a "Bible-story theme park" in Rutherford county, Tennessee. Good idea to sensationalize Biblical history for primarily capitalistic intentions, right?

What's ever more insane about this proposition is how not cool they want to make it. 280 acre Story Park that will house recreations of important places and events in religious history for those un-willing to make the trek? Give me a break.
Was hoping for wordage such as 'Holy Water Coaster - Baptism after 450 ft vertical drop. Must be at least 4ft tall to ride. Rider will get wet." 1.5 million projected visitors per year sounds like biased focus groups.

Burberry Epidemic



Dear God.
Why are consumers still obsessed with the Burberry trademarked 'haymarket check' pattern? Are they aware that it's not a British produced product of war-caliber technology these days? Back when it was actually lining the raincoats of soldiers and the financially elite, Burberry held a strong market differentiator of waterproof breathable garments. Nowadays Burberry is manufactured in China, (where I'm sure they're monitoring their carbon credits, child labor hours, and above all mass production quality) yet somehow the folks at Burberry have still done a good job keeping mouths closed in their quest for a global monopoly of the neck-space of every slate gray wearing middle-class workaholic. Why is this the most popular scarf on the planet? Is this qualm resentful?

The big question is why have the folks at Burberry at least made a valid effort at disguising their short-fallings and not climbed aboard the project (RED) campaign? Who forgot to invite this $500-per-sweater-powerhouse to the feel-good party?

Secretly hoping for the everymans Burberry scarf genocide 2008,
