Tooltip Advertisments Maybe I'm behind the curve, but here's something I've never seen before: advertisements embedded in a mouseover/ tooltip & indicated as such by a double underline. One more cipher in the rich internet wasteland.

A small victory in the fat war McDonalds will be eliminating "super size" items from its menu, bending to pressure to cater to Americans' growing preference for healthier food options. Here's a healthier food option for you: don't eat any fast food, period..

FMA just doesn't quite go far enough eh? It seems that some on the right don't think the Presidents new Federal Marriage Amendment cuts it. They argue that it's a sellout, endorsing unmarried homosexuality. I have a feeling they would prefer this amendment, from Protestants for the Common Good.

Snarky but nice. Moomin meets Lewis Carroll.

Bottled water actually tap water. Coca-Cola admits that its Dasani brand of bottled water is, in the UK, made from tap water in Kent. UK water groups are in arms over the implications for plain tap water, and, hopefully, consumers will be as well, since filtered tap water and filtered source water are different products and probably shouldn't be marketed as interchangeable. The interesting spin on this (not terribly well-reported) story is that it also broke in Canada in July, 2002. How is it that their other production facilities weren't questioned? What about the point made in the Canadian article - does this use of municipal water supplies tax the system, and how is Coke remunerating the city? And how did no one ever notice that an urban production facility would need to have their water brought in from an outside source? more inside
