POPSTop 10: Worst Male-Bashing Ads AT&T A guy is in Las Vegas, probably for a convention, and he’s never gambled before. He gets a taste for it, and loses money at the tables. Sounds like it could happen, right? Now here’s the AT&T version: same setup, but the guy calls his wife to report how much fun he’s having and explains in the naive tone of a kid going to school for the first time that he lost “chips” he wasn’t aware were worth money. Believable? Sure, as a science-fiction plot in which men are house pets. In the real world, even the crazy guy who bets his life savings has brains enough to know he’s not playing Monopoly.

POPSWho is Gorby Shilling For Now?
Gorbachev, former Soviet strongman (and believe me, I miss being able to use that phrase!) has launched his second career as a shill for Pizza Hut, Louis Vuitton, and Vladimir Putin, which may well be the holy trinity of the new rich in the "New Russia." Still, with his editorial on "what a responsible leader" Putin is, it seems like he's pushing real hard to jump the gun. After all, Putin has only said he's going to resign as president, he hasn't actually done it yet. In all my experience in dealing with former KGB guys ;) I've learned to believe something when I see it, and even then, only maybe. Anyway, this is a really funny election. There is nobody running. Most of the ones who openly expressed interest in being the next President of Russia are either dead or in prison! The rest know how to take a hint. So what happens if Putin doesn't become president, but nobody else does either? Will the leadership then fall on this new position for Putin: "Father of the Country"?

POPSMiddle Class Poverty Soon, we will all be added to the list of poverty as what we know as the "Middle Class" disappears altogether. If you think the 21st century Robber Barons plan to stop this massive wage degradation, you better hang on to your britches. Like the wealthy Robber Barons of Mexico, our corporations won't stop the next added 20 million ILLegal migrants -- nor will they stop the insourcing, offshoring and outsourcing of jobs.

POPSMcDonald's Is Loving It In Asia I didn't realize how huge the fast food market is for Asia until I read this article. :eek: "Make that a Big Mac, fries, and a quart of motor oil, please. If executives at McDonald's (MCD) and China Petroleum & Chemical Corp. (SNP), better known as Sinopec, get their way, mainland consumers may be able to fill up their cars and their stomachs in the years ahead thanks to a long-term alliance clinched last year to combine fast-food outlets with gas stations."
