Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter without Me
Don’t Go to the Cosmetics Counter without Me

Web Watch has talked about how much trouble that cosmetics can get you into, but that’s not going to stop women and men from buying beauty products on a regular basis.

But some people end up buying more than they need (hello, Costco and Sam’s Club shoppers! We’re looking at you!  And those Extreme Couponers with their hoard).

Have you ever wondered exactly how much money a celebrity photo from a paparazzi photographer is worth?

For some, not a whole heck of a lot of money.  For others, it can make that lucky photographer’s year.

File this one under “Yet Another Brilliant Idea that Web Watch Didn’t Think of First”.

Of course, first we’d have to get an 81-year-old father who didn’t understand how to use the Internet. 

Norman N is just that guy.  And he has a funny kid who decided to bring Dad into the 21st century.

And thus was born Old Man Search

Don’t want to get married or engaged? Try a “stayover relationship” instead

How to be an Adult in Relationships
Buy HOW TO BE AN ADULT IN RELATIONSHIPS

We’ve all had those relationships in college: you have your dorm room, they have theirs.  You spend a couple of nights a week at their place, they spend a couple of nights a week at yours.

And sometimes, you spend the night alone in your own place, just because you can.

It’s a story as old as time, or at least as old as there have been relationships.

But it’s becoming a new trend to continue this type of relationship outside of the collegiate setting and try it in Real Life, as those who are dating enter their late-20’s or even 30’s or 40’s.

Wal-Mart refuses to refund $2.90; throws couple in jail (charges were later dropped)

Chicken Head Mask
Buy a CHICKEN HEAD MASK

Wal-Mart has a policy of having “greeters” at the front door of all their stores.

One of the jobs that the greeters and security staff are tasked with is to double-check receipts to ensure that everything that is being carried out has been paid for per the receipt.

Mary Hill Bonin and her husband are suing Wal-Mart for the Wal-Mart staff doing their job.

Unfortunately, it’s the Wal-Mart staff that allegedly appears to have acted inappropriately in this case.  All Mary and “Ricky” wanted to do was buy $2.90 worth of chicken necks.  According to the Wal-Mart security guard, the chicken neck was being shoplifted – that is, being taken out of the store without having been paid for.

Jogging may be good for you, but you look like hell doing it


Buy RUN! by Dean Karnazes

Jogging may be good for you, but people who do it really look like hell while doing so.

Have you ever taken a good look at yourself while you’re exercising?  Web Watch has.  There’s a reason why we don’t work out any place where we can be seen – it’s just not a pretty thing to watch.

That’s why we really shouldn’t be surprised at the POST-RUN PHOTO ESSAY compiled by Sacha Goldberger.
