POPSKayak Little similar to canoeing but main difference is the that canoe has broad and spitted cockpit ahead but a kayak has very short and toe like cockpit to cross the water sharply and fleshing down and up with water streams.

POPSIt's Dancing--Not The Key To World Peace "Still don't believe me? Watch "Dancing" with the sound turned off and then tell me it says something "really poignant about humanity as a whole." Or download the ring tone or the music only. Is that a better world you're hearing? Or just the next generation's answer to Enya?"

POPSCoffee Corrupts America's Youth We can all laugh at Starbucks' typically popmpus token gesture of contrition. (Yeah, blame the barristas! Not whatever idiot designed all those weird factory-made collage panels on the walls of every Starbucks from Timbuktu to Taipei!) But what really frightens me is that American 16 year olds are using words like "stigma" while lamenting the metaphysical condition of the chain-cafe that provides the fix to keep their caffeine addiction at bay. Shouldn't they be busy drag racing hot rods around Dead-Man's-Curve? Or Rebelling without a Cause? Is the "stigma of commercialism" now one of the many bewildering social concerns brought on by puberty?

POPSShipwreck: Real Pirates, Actually of the Carribean Underwater Archeology is a fascinating field, but it's badly in need of legal support, since currently looters and scavengers not only enjoy the benefit of legal ambiguity, they exalt in their shameless destruction of historical heritage for crass commercialism and sensationalism.

POPSThe Facebook betrayal - users revolt over advertising sell-out Would Clipmarks ever be so crass? If what Clippers clipped and popped was content analysed, it would be a gold mine for marketing companies. Do Forbes know this? Such an analysis would be very useful and ethical of the individuals names were stripped from the data. Marketers and pollsters would still get a unique picture of what people are interested in.

POPSA Personalised letter from Santa Claus Children often surprise us, they want the latest toys and gadgets but how many times have you seen them playing for months with some simple game you bought as a stocking filler? Or doodling in a colouring book that cost a few dollars? How many "Christmas Movies" are released each year? There is always one about Santa Claus! You can arrange for your child to receive a letter from Santa or even a phone call from the man himself. Imagine the look on your child's face when they open the letter or answer the phone and are in direct contact with Father Christmas? Don't let teenagers fool you - they love anything that is different or slightly mad. Arrange for your 18 year old daughter to get a letter from Santa Claus then threaten to sell her friends if she doesn't do the washing up!

POPSIndifference, Negligence, Convenience & Media Bias Compare the dates. This was a story from February. These people knew that a village had been destroyed 8 months ago. Why was it not news then but it is news now? They sat on a story because massacring a village isn't important enough to break the news cycle, but now that Burma is a hot topic, they suddenly remember it! They are playing for ratings with people's lives. There is nothing sacred when it comes to the commercialism in the news.

POPSPerfect Photos for the Imperfect World Campaign by FotoPRIX. Nice video but I wish they took out the melodramatic music. I can also imagine some people getting offended by this.. Comment from the site: Great images; Crass commercialism.

POPSGlobal goodwill necessary for human survival
Continuation: ... As the one humanity, we are working out our mutual destiny and evolving to give expression -- with our different nationalities and talents -- to the extraordinary variety of divine life but in the form of unity. This is obviously a major problem for humanity; the world is so divided, competition is so rife today. It is the very nature of our political and economic systems, based as they are on market forces, commercialization, aggrandizement and power. If we would survive it must be changed. ... Competition, I believe, is based on fear. If we look back at our history, we can think of competition as it relates to the animal kingdom. It is natural for animals to compete for food in the struggle for survival. There is an ongoing competition between the wolves and the caribou, between the lions, tigers, pumas and leopards and the various branches of antelope and deer. All of these are in competition. But they do not think of it as competition. ...
