A few things

• I had referenced the idea of "giving up" reading and how hard it would be to do; now there's an advocacy group pushing for "PC Turnoff Week". What do we think of this?

• The British shoe bomber gets a jail sentence. The article is regular news - I just like the first sentence of the report "A British man was today sentenced at the Old Bailey, London's main criminal court". I love that the main criminal court is named "Old Bailey" that's so damn cute and British.

• Pax TV is considering a format change - to informercials. I feel like the same people would watch this channel regardless of programming content?

• With military recruitment on the decline, shouldn't the Army advertise instead of cancelling their ad agency review? Ad agency know-alls: Is it normal for companies to completely cancel their reviews? If I was working on pitching a client and they cancelled I'd be super pissed.

• Definition of crazy: Finger in Wendy's chili planted there by accuser

• Fun cute stuff - check out the Cath Kidston website

• I don't even like chocolate but Christopher Elbow Artisanal Chocolate looks good.

• I truly believe that if you used to be a bank teller (my mom, Josh, Alicia, me) you can't help but enjoy these purses made from the drive-through containers. Fun.

• Do these treats from Maine look yummy or gross? I can't tell...
