|
|
Sweethearts admittedly had some help from fans of the candy on coming up with this new tech savvy message when it held an online survey last year. More than 10,000 consumers responded when Sweethearts asked for suggestions for a new message on their candies. "Tweet Me" was hands down people's favorite with "Text Me" coming in at a close second. This goes to show how reliant people have become on technology and how it often becomes an integral part of our relationship with loved ones.

|
|
Many may criticize the way the LFL objectifies women and say it is disappointing that players have to put on revealing outfits in order to get recognized in the world of women's football. But some of the players would probably disagree. Summer LaViolette, a defensive end on team Bliss, explains why she plays. LaViolette says, "I think it's very empowering for women to be sexy and tough. We get turf burns, we might have a little wardrobe malfunction, but it's all about football."

Keeping It Hush Hush
|
|
One San Diego veterinarian, Dr.Sharon Vanderlip, calls herself a big proponent of the debarking surgery. Vanderlip has been performing this type of surgery for 30 years and defends the practice by saying, "They recover immediately and they don't ever seem to notice any difference. I think that in certain cases it can certainly save a dog from ending up being euthanized. If properly done, they behave totally the same afterwards and don't seem to have any health problems."

Have You Been Hit By The "Man-Cession"?
|
|
One reason for women marrying less, having a difficult time finding a husband to live up to their standards, or making more than their husbands is the current "mancession". The latest buzz word, "mancession", has to do with the fact that many jobs once predominantly held by men, like construction and manufacturing jobs, are no longer in great demand during the recession. About 80 percent of the jobs that have been lost in the recession were held by men.

The 2001 National Transportation Survey reports men are three times more likely to drive than women when sharing a ride with household members.
