This week's Badvertising: Kellogg's Cereal

I'm a fitness freak. I endorse meal replacements. I DO NOT ENDORSE IRRESPONSIBLE MEAL REPLACEMENTS.

Whenever I replace a meal, it's calibrated for a calorie count that takes into account nutritional values like protein, fat and vitamin counts- To make up for the total carbohydrate calorie deficit and to ensure my body's defenses are kept high with required vitamins and minerals.

What Kellogg is asking you to do is eat a high carb, low nutrition (where's the veges mate?) meal. ONE BOWL FOR ONE MEAL IS NOT HEALTHY.

Yes, you will lose weight BUT YOUR BODY GOES INTO FAT STORING MODE. Once you're off that ridiculous diet- you'll put back your fats upon returning to your meal routines.

Please, exercise some caution. And err.. do exercise- that's THE ONLY pant downsizing activity. All others is bullcrap.

A good read for many Singaporean Chicks

Dear Singapore Girls (not the great stewardesses) and Balaclava (you know why you're there) crowds, finding a rich hot guy is a sure fire way to meet a raging egomaniac.

He'd use you and lose you. The best way to snag your own faithful rich hot guy- is to pick one before his eventual rise to power ala Michelle. It's like playing stocks, pick a good counter and invest long term.

Buying into short term popular stocks is a surefire way to mistime the investment and get your fingers burned.

You get the best of both worlds. You fall in love with the guy's personality and strength of character and eventually get the bonus dividends of steady career, great income and a jetsetting lifestyle.

Think about that please. You can read the article here.

Reading between the lines

According to the Straits Times:

Mr Lee said he did not think Singapore was an affluent country, the Korean daily reported.

'Besides, as a government official, I have to lead by example. Singapore's senior officials fly economy class, not first class, for flights under six hours,' he was quoted as saying.

Does this mean that for flights over 6 hours, THEY DO FLY FIRST CLASS? Why not business class?

Here's a relative comparison:

A Singapore-Melbourne flight is 6 hours (not including tail winds). As a frequent traveller down under, the flight in economy class is relatively painless, I watch 3 movies, some episodes of "Queer Eye" or "House" and I touch down: I'm still refreshed.

If you look at all the countries within the 6 hour flight zone, that would mean that essentially over 70% of all senior official flights are FIRST CLASS (taking into account our major trading partners and allies).

Thanks for this token show of frugality.

We Remember..

The few who sacrificed so much, for so many, in service to freedom.

We remember H-Hour, D-Day: Normandy.

To these men, I salute you.

Special thanks to 101st Airborne 506th Easy Company for cutting off German artilery (Assault on Brecourt Manor), cutting off the Axis supply route and linking Allied armored forces to the battle on the beach head.

No thanks

Trim- Yes. Shave? NO.

Good grief.. shave your groin.. what the @#$%!?

Seriously cool animation

Apologies, I've been down with a small bout of "clinical depression". Nope, this isn't some namby pamby feel good animatic but perhaps a poigant reminder of why extraterrestrials don't yet choose to visit our civilisation.
