I take it personally. The woman with cancer also has asthma. The man with arthritis also has erectile dysfunction. I feel bad for them! Last night the quest by an actor to find work got ridiculous for me as my wife, Esther, and I were watching one of our favorite shows, “Criminal Minds,” on CBS. It was a particularly violent episode where a Bonnie and Clyde-type couple shot their way across Montana and proved to be the sickest of cold blooded killers. As the story develops, both the young man and the young woman were abused as children and their plan becomes to mete out retribution to the parents who ruined their lives. Late in t...

We haven’t seen any t-shirts or heard any #1 hits about oil – and if we did, we’d hope the proceeds would be going to those people and wildlife affected by the spill. That’s so gre–wait, what? Spirit Air is running ads that are exploiting the oil spill – and sexist to boot? Spirit Air’s new campaign focuses on scantily-clad women lounging on beaches, all lubed up and enjoying the sun. The tagline reads, “Check out the oil on our beaches.” So tasteless. Did anyone at the ad agency perhaps think it was too soon, insensitive, or inappropriate to exploit a disaster that killed people, wildlife, and ruined a huge swath of the Gulf of Mexico – and is just getting ...

While the majority of the efforts fighting the obesity battle come from health advocacy groups, government agencies and not-for-profit organizations, it is great to know that corporate America also has a social conscience and has joined the battle. Two of these corporate initiatives are described below.

The images of the ads have been removed from the Center’s website and (as of this posting) 649 signatures have been collected in an online petition. Here’s what else was going on about autism in the past two weeks:  Fever?The December 2007 volume of Pediatrics contains what its authors note is, to their knowledge, “the first to investigate behavioral changes associated with fever in children with ASD.” “Post-Autistic Economics” means……..?“Post-autistic economics” (PAE)—which is the name for a movement that challenges the assumptions of neoclassical economics and incorporates ideas from socio...

Then kids were allowed to ask whatever questions were on their mind, and they had some great ones. They wanted to know why Pa...

I have never taken a class in economics, or business, or marketing (I am a humanist—a teacher of Latin and classical Greek—through and through). But I know enough to know that even negative publicity is good: However provocative, harsh, and upsetting the message of the “Ransom Notes,” the ad campaign has certainly directed a lot of attention to the New York University Child Study Center. As the Wall Street Journal Health Blog notes, the center’s director, Dr. Harold Koplewicz, has found the “backlash from patient groups” to be “surprising and unexpected.” According to ...

First up, from Kamandi #12 (December 1973), is the “Big Break” we’ve been waiting for all our lives! At least that’s what the ad says, so it must be true. Personally, I suspect that Jim is a drug dealer or spammer and just made up the whole electronics school as a scam, much like those “work from home” websites (send me money and I’ll tell you how!) Finally, from Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen #83 (March 1965), comes an ad for Silly Putty. Remember, if your comic book shop doesn’t carry Silly Putty, it must not be a good shop!

Every time I go running I feel like I'm crushing cancer with each and every step I pound onto the pavement. It's exhilarating, knowing I'm doing something good for my body and my soul, knowing every day I run is one more day I've survived a nasty disease. Apparently, others agree.Think about this:A new Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure magazine advertisement features a close-up shot of the bottom of a running shoe. Woven into the tread on the bottom of the shoe are these words: Every step resounds with the satisfying crunch of breast cancer being stomped into oblivion.This is exactly how I feel.Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments (Source...
