Each year the Red Cross teams up with a Brussels radio station (Studio Brussels) to host a charity event “Music for Life.” Listeners can call in and donate in order to request a song.

As Germans sit in a movie theater this summer they don’t smell the typical scents of popcorn, they smell fresh grass, bread, and suntan lotion. The smells are artificial however. Cinescent is a company giving marketers a chance to use an interesting way to promote their products in movie-theaters this summer in Germany. Nivea is [...]

So I was doing my usual reading of perezhilton.com when I came across this ad. Now, I am all for making a statement but the one that is made by the above McCain ad seems a bit out of control. However, regardless of my personal political opinions, even I can see the benefits [...]

Sex as a turn off?

It isn’t really news to say that “sex sells” – everyone knows it’s true. I know it, you know it, Victoria’s Secret certainly knows it. And whether you agree with the moral implications of that or not there’s no denying it, because at the very least it grabs your attention, whether for better [...]

For the past 6 months, I have been whining about my Verizon Razor (probably the worst phone that I have ever had in my entire life!) and I have been wanting to change it. Fortunately for me, my plan expires at the end of July, so I started looking at the different possibilities of new [...]

I’m sure that by now most people are aware or have at least heard about the July issue of the New Yorker magazine. Now, I’m not trying to get all political (even though you have to admit that this coming election is like none other and is enticing to even the most nonpolitically affiliated people, [...]

It seems as if teen pregnancy has taken over the media over the past few months. Beginning (for the sake of this argument) with the release of Juno late last year, the topic of teen pregnancy in the media has become almost, well, common.

Cold Stone Creamery is famous for their great tasting ice cream and infamous for their high prices. As consumers looking for good quality in the items we buy, we continue to purchase Cold Stone ice cream. But is the creamery shop we’ve become accustomed to diminishing before our very eyes?

I can’t speak for everyone but I must admit that when I see something that has a Cornell logo on it, I want it. I want it for no reason other than I love Cornell, and thus I love anything with its name on it. Many of my friends feel the same way. They don’t [...]
