How do you feel about personal product commercials today? Recently, there's been a shift to commercials being a bit more specific when referring to personal hygiene products. One talks about full-body deodorant, including the "under-boob", etc. Another talks about "put your balls in our hands", also mentioning "nuts", etc. For those of you with young, impressionable kids, how do you feel about this? What do you do when the kid(s) ask - "What does that mean?"? Having grown up with both Lucy & Desi and Rob & Laura having separate beds in their respective shows, I've watched the slow loosening of tv norms and wondered, how far is too far?

Could be he's just saying something while really saying nothing.

Nobody wants to sit around waiting over an hour for food, unless they've planned for it. If you're just out & about with friends and get hungry in Chicago for pizza, you're gonna get Chicago tavern style.

A glitch caused Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-A) to drop a little bit. From $627,000 per share to $188 (99.97% drop). It wouldn't have counted if you managed to buy a couple of shares at the bargain basement price, trading was stopped and the NYSE is not going to allow the "clearly erroneous transactions". Still, you could have made & lost a million in one day, just by buying a couple shares.
