POPSDo You Find This Ad Offensive? There's a big story on the intersection of social media and health today. Unlike some of its competitors, Johnson & Johnson has been experimenting with advertising directly to consumers with Facebook applications and YouTube videos. But a video ad promoting Motrin for moms who carry their babies in slings sparked an uproar from connected consumers. I'm curious to know what you think --- is this video really offensive? It's clipped above.

POPSSexual Desires Don't Have To Fade I get so tired of that shit thrown at everyone by the media that only the young and beautiful are to enjoy the privilege of satisfying sex and everyone else is either a pervert or unworthy somehow. Why should anyone be denied the beauty of that sort of closeness between two human beings and who has the right to qualify that in any way? It's a part of the celebration of life and older adults should never feel somehow shameful or dirty for enjoying their lives to the fullest. YAY for them.

POPSOld Obama Interview "...in my own public policy, I'm very suspicious of religious certainty expressing itself in politics....that's different form a belief that values have to inform our public policy. I think it's perfectly consistent to say that I want my government to be operating for all faiths and all peoples, including atheists and agnostics, while also insisting that there are values that inform my politics that are appropriate to talk about."

POPSCalifornia economy loses $28 billion yearly to health effects of pollution Considered the most lethal form of air pollution, microscopic particulates expelled from tailpipes, factory smoke stacks, diesel trucks and equipment can penetrate through the lungs and enter the bloodstream. Exposure to these fine particles has been linked to severe asthma, cancer and premature deaths from heart and lung disease. "In the South Coast basin, an average 64% of the population is exposed to health-endangering annual averages of particulates," Hall said, "and in the most populated county -- Los Angeles -- it is 75%. "In most years, the South Coast and San Joaquin basins vie with the Houston, Texas, area for the worst air pollution trophy, but this year we took it back," she said. "That's not a prize you want to be handed. Essentially, imported T-shirts and tennis shoes are being hauled to Omaha and the big-rig diesel pollution stays here."

POPSObama administration to ratchet up hunt for bin Laden Well, that's the first bit of good news I've heard so far with anything connected to Obama. However, they couldn't resist a dig: "The Obama team believes the Bush administration has downplayed the importance of catching the FBI's most-wanted terrorist because it has not been able to find him." The Bush Administration has NEVER downplayed the importance of finding Bin Laden; maybe didn't want to broadcast their operations to the entire world, but never have them minimized the desire/will to get him.

POPSThe Case for U.S. Withdrawal from Afghanistan So if aerial bombardments and occupations give legitimacy to those very fundamentalists who Afghans would remove from power, what does the real war on fundamentalism look like? And it's not just that the Afghan population believes that the Taliban resistance is legitimate; that resistance is legitimate under international law. No less important a document than the United Nations charter gives the Taliban and other Afghans the right to legitimate self-defense against U.S. aggression. Instead of scaling up an already disastrous war, the United States should change it's course The whole article is worth a read.
