Verizon: abuela, Abuela, ABUELA!

It might not be a good idea to talk to your grandmom via webcam if you have slow internet.

Welcome to the Gerber Generation!

A flip book made of babies.

The Mona Pizza…

“Get ready for something truly Italian. The Classic Italian Crust. Coming April 3rd.”

Idea Killer or Killer Idea?

The World's Greatest Spokesperson in the World!

“You’re the best I’ve ever seen! The best… anyone… has ever… seen!” (Great line!) And then I thought, “This caveman looks a bit different. He’s missing a brow ridge.”

Being a jerk online spills over into being a jerk in public!

It’s funny that, one of the great powers of the internet is anonymity. People write things online that they wouldn’t dare say face-to-face to anyone. They’d be too embarrassed to act like that in public, but because there is little or no consequence, this type of behavior runs rampant online. Now…what if all of a sudden those same people felt absolutely no shame and decided it was okay to act like that offline?

Swept Under the Rug…

The late night shuffle was NBC’s failed attempt at cost effectiveness. Show’s like Law & Order are costly so they tried a cheaper option and it didn’t work out.

Word of Mouth at its Best!

Of all the things Philly is known for, we’re kind of a big deal when it comes to the restaurant industry. Fine dining, pastries, and bar food aside, our claim to fame is the cheese steak. Depending on whom you ask any number of places could be the best in city. However, 3 names are most consistent: Pat’s, Geno’s and Jim’s. Philly is a big city and in reality, every section has its own comparable and reputable steak shops. So how is it possible that these 3 shops, all located in the same small region have the most notoriety? Word of mouth!

Texting and Driving

This issue keeps popping up more and more! Texting and driving is causing accidents and it’s becoming very serious. What are your thoughts? Any stories that anyone is willing to share?

According to The New York Times, President Obama banned Federal staff from texting and driving. Obama’s next step is to ban it for bus drivers and truckers except for emergencies.
