Snickers came up with an ad that has two mechanics going all Brokeback while eating the chocolate bar. I found it funny. But it seems a lot of people don't, according to this article by the NY Times. Snickers has pulled the ads.

Also in the NY Times, an article on couples who don't get along in the kitchen. Would never happen here. If there are fights, it's because some wives feel their husbands don't spend enough time IN the kitchen.

Jessica Zafra doesn't often write about politics, but when she does, she makes a lot of sense, without boring you to death. She gives instructions on how to vote, which is actually a list of qualifications of undeserving candidates. "Bear in mind," she says, "that the desire to serve your country, no matter how sincere, does not in itself make you fit to hold public office. I want to play in a Wimbledon final, but am prevented by my total lack of tennis-playing ability." Well played.

Another reason to pack up and move to the North Pole:
Cesar Montano has decided to run for a seat in the Senate under the Administration. Fellow actor Richard Gomez has, too, as an independent. I believe that being an actor doesn't automatically make one unfit to run for public office, but they should, at the least, have demonstrated their capacity to do the job if they're elected. Says Tourism Secretary Ace Durano on Montano's candidacy: "Popularity was never a consideration. It’s credibility and capability to advocate the platform of government of the administration."
Yeah, right.
