Variance between US and China: Eating Penis

While in Beijing to cover the 2008 Olympics, Kevin Pang of the Chicago Tribune and Bill Plaschke of the Los Angeles Times visited a restaurant that serves only penis. You have to admit that eating penis to bridge the cultural divide may seem a bit extreme, but according to these reporters, eating penis is the only thing different than US and Chinese citizens. Interesting. Continue reading

The Environment – Poorly Treated – We Cannot Live

Bloggers Unite - Blog Action Day The Environment. It’s critical in our ability to – simply put – live.

What can be more simple to understand? If we continue to poorly treat the environment around us – the one which sustains and satiates our every need – it will no longer be able to do anything for us. Won’t be able to protect us from the harmful rays of the sun. Won’t be able to keep the polar caps frozen. Continue reading

Sushi – Nude Models Draw Women – or Men?

The Age: Male Monkey BusinessNude models always create a draw when on public display or in tandem with some meaningful marketing event held at a major retailer or on the behalf of a brand like Victoria’s Secret. Sushi Das, writer for The Age, declared that the entire event was pretty much male dominated and was a great example of the male ‘ape-like’ behavior still present in today’s society deeply rooted in our DNA.

While the article even lures this ‘Ape like’ mentality in it’s headline declaring “Male monkey business as models turn other cheek” and going on to say “HAD there been tall trees nearby, they probably would have climbed them.” (emphasis added)

Okay, so upon closer inspection of the photograph provided in the article, I was astounded to see six visible people in the photograph from the event – four of which are women! Yes, women! (Source: The Age) Continue reading

Nepal’s Sacrificial Offerings Get Plane Off the Ground

Today’s blogosphere is alive with the story of two goats being sacrificed by the state-run airline of Nepal to appease the Hindu sky god, Akash Bhairab.

Now that the Boeing 757 (1 of 2 the country operates) is back-in-the-air, it makes things a little different. We are all comfortable and content in our world – our world currently ripped apart by war, in-fighting and hate. Our country, the one we love and believe in the words our founding fathers wrote – is slowly being drained of all it’s assets by the current Administration for now and long into the future. We have military installations across the world – and we aren’t under threat, we think we are in charge! Continue reading

Count your 1st Amendment blessings…

While Mr. Know-It-All (or mild mannered Brendan I. Koerner) would already be in shackles in a Chinese prison by describing the methods of circumventing the Chinese authorities who watch all Internet traffic in China, those in ‘free’ countries should take note of the freedom that being able to say, listen to, download, post online as we wish – talking about anything – is a blessing.
