  • *VIDEO* The Most Offensive Ad Ever

    Posted by: Illmatic

    Warning: this video could make you vomit. Earlier in the week I saw the award-winning (if you can believe that) print version of this ad concept by a Brazilian ad agency for the World Wildlife Fund @ The Daily What. It takes a turn even farther towards hell with this video. I can only imagine what it would be like for the victim’s families to see such a tragedy trivialized for shock value. The WWF has issued this statement condemning the ad:

  • ATL Housewife Lisa Calls Out Mediatakeout

    **GG Exclusive**

     

    Hi Global Grind world!

     

    It’s always exciting for me to connect with new people.  We are four episodes into the new season of Real Housewives of Atlanta and I have been doing so many interviews.  I can say it’s refreshing to blog and actually share my own point of view without the media spin on it.

    I am happy to say that I have garnered some favorable media coverage this season. And, I genuinely appreciate the love and support from fans and the media alike.

     

    But, I have to say that I am thoroughly disappointed by irresponsible sites like MediaTakeOut.com.   

     

    They just post any and everything without checking facts or ever speaking directly to the parties they are posting about. This week they said that I am fighting to have my sons appear on my show.

     

    Nothing could be further from the truth. I have and always will have my three sons (EJ, Justin & Jordan) best interest at heart. I am in on-going legal litigation with the father of my two oldest sons’ and we are working through it for the sake of our children.

     

    But, through it all…I have Ed, the most supportive husband on the planet. So, trust me. there is a lot of prayer going on in our home. And, we know everything will work itself out. So, in spite of irresponsible journalism.. TRUTH will always prevail.

     

    I look forward to blogging more and keep watching Real Housewives of Atlanta!

     

    Also, stay tuned for my Closet Freak Clothing Line debut and speaking engagements possibly in your city!

     

    Love, Lisa

    Which country can you make the most money in?

    It pays to work in Switzerland: employees in Zurich and Geneva have the highest net wages in the world, a study by banking group UBS shows, while those in India’s Mumbai take home the lowest.

    The Swiss cities were also ranked among the top five most expensive in the world in the bank’s 2009 “Price and Earnings” international study.

    “With its extremely high gross wages and comparatively low tax rates, Switzerland is a very employee-friendly country,” the Swiss bank said in a statement.

    The study, published every three years, compares the income and purchasing power of employees in 73 cities across the globe, highlighting wide discrepancies in wages between different regions, and even within the same country.
