Getting Started - 12/09/08


  • You know the economy is bad when free brothels are hurting. The Czech house Big Sister is free, but generates revenue by streaming the sex acts of its customers on the web. "People are thinking twice before making impulse purchases, including paying for sex." Gum is an impulse purchase . . . (Herald Tribune).
  • What do you buy a country that already has an insurance and investment company like AIG? How about three car manufacturers? The Feds are working a deal for a stake in Ford, GM and Chrysler - just in time for Christmas. Its not an impulse purchase, but the getting fucked feeling is the same. (Reuters).
  • Concerned about adding pounds during the holidays? Fear not. According to a Spanish study, a Mediterranean diet heavy on mixed nuts should do the trick - at least when compared to a control group that subsisted on one liter of virgin olive oil each week. (US News).
