I really despise most brand consultant companies but this has to be about the worst work from an agency I have ever seen. This is the logo for the 2012 London Olympics. The Wolf Olins agency charged $559,000 to make this piece of garbage.

Before I was married I always had a work spouse, also a few work mistresses. This goes on all the time and, from what I have seen, leads to many extramarital affairs. http://www.cnn.com/2011/LIVING/02/16/workspouse.relationship.at.work/in…

I wonder if the financial companies have paid back their bailout money yet? http://finance.yahoo.com/...-3409482030.html?x=0

Israel has long had influence over our politicians but when that influence should be dwindling it is getting stronger. How pathetic is it for US presidential hopefuls to be pandering to a third world / semi terrorist nation? http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2011/03/18/my-take-israel-is-the-new-iowa…

I read an article talking about slot machines and addiction to them. Here are some figures they state that seem amazing to me. 1. There are 850,000 slot machines in the US, which is double the number of ATM's. 2. People spend more on slot machines than Movies, Baseball and Theme Parks combined.

Jones was so concerned about selling a record amount of tickets he oversold the stadium, according to fire marshals. Hundreds of people who paid $600 per ticket arrived to the stadium and received a letter telling them their seat is no longer available.

While reading a book on the current situation of the US I thought these facts were quite telling. Not so long ago, the US was #1 in mots of these categories.
