title pic Does Lindsay have the Same Name Recognition as Oprah and Madonna?

Photo from fOTOGLIF Well, Lindsay Lohan certainly thinks so, and she’s suing financial services giant E-Trade for $100 million for “violating her privacy” after running an ad during the Super Bowl starring a “milkaholic” baby named Lindsay.

The FTC should update its Green Guides. Last summer, the Federal Trade Commission charged four companies with falsely stating that some of their “bamboo” clothing and textile products were “antimicrobial, made in an environmentally friendly manner, or biodegradable.” The agency was relying on its Green Guides—formally the “Guides for the Use of Environmental Marketing Claims” —for the definition of the claims about those textiles

title pic The Seal Slaughter Sham?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/richardchild/ CC BY 2.0 It seems that Gail Shea (the same fool member of parliament who tried pulling this number ) has hatched another ploy to try to make the waning interest in the Canadian seal slaughter look stronger than it is. Earlier this week, Shea announced that the number of helpless victims seal slaughters are allowed to bash, smash, and shot during the seal slaughter will increase by 50,000 this year. Even seal slaughterers seemed to be calling her bluff , as they wondered who, if anyone, would be buying the pelts
