What to say to this one? Haven't we all been irritated with the annoying ladies asking for receipts that we just put in the bottomless abyss of our pockets or purses? Though, this might be a bit extreme of a reaction... The judge ordered anger management. I would say that I definitely agree.

Too Much Arsenic in Apple Juice? Dr. Oz, FDA Disagree

http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/news/20110914/tempest-in-an-apple-juice-box?src=RSS_PUBLIC

I believe that this whole ordeal is just Dr. Oz trying to get America stirred up, to get his show more publicity, and to make himself appear as the doctor campaigning for the people. I think this is completely ridiculous. Even if this was completely true, not all apple juices are like this. There are great organic apple juices out there. However, he has made it sound like ALL apple juice is bad.

This is wrong on SO many levels. I am not a vegan or animal rights enthusiast or anything like that but if I was, what kind of audience are they trying to attract? Not only this, but I don't think when people look through these pictures, they are going to think "Man I should eat more lettuce!!" They will probably be a little more preoccupied with what is being hidden (or not hidden) by the lettuce.

Soldier tells dad he's gay on YouTube

I did not post this to say I against the gay rights or anything. I posted this ,because I think it is sad that this guy felt the need to post this on youtube. I can not wrap my head around people feel the need to video tape some of the most intimate moments of their life and post them on youtube for the world to see. I do not think was brave videotaping his dad's reaction. I think it was a horrible idea. If his dad's reaction had been bad, then it's his prerogative. It wouldn't have been fair to have this posted if that dad's reaction had been different. Intimate moments like this one should stay private.
