A while back, Web Watch wrote about the UNDERWEAR ECONOMIC INDEX, the theory being that people buy more underwear when they feel that the economy is doing well – and that people will make do with their existing underpants when the economy is doing poorly.
Based on that piece of stellar reporting, Web Watch is confident in saying that WAL-MART BELIEVES THE ECONOMY IS GROWING, as WAL-MART CEO BILL SIMON PREDICTS THIS HOLIDAY SEASON TO BE FILLED WITH UNDERWEAR AND SOCK PURCHASES for adults.

Driving while texting is being banned in more and more states, and rightfully so. It’s hard enough for Web Watch to walk down the street with every passer-by so engrossed in their Blackberries or iPhones that they’re not paying attention where they’re going – we know how bad it could be with those same people behind the wheel of a car.
Driving has enough distractions as it is, especially for teenagers or other inexperienced drivers. That’s why SEVENTEEN MAGAZINE and AAA have TEAMED UP for the SEVENTEEN TWO-SECOND TURN OFF DAY on September 17th.
All they want you and your teenagers to do is to take two seconds before you start your car, and turn off your cell phone. That’s it. One less distraction for you as you weave in-and-out of traffic on your way to work, school, or fun.
Don’t think it’s necessary? Let’s take a look at some statistics about how badly distracted teenage drivers are, taken from a poll of over 2000 male and female drivers, age 16-19:

What’s the first thing you think to yourself whenever you hear the news that a friend of yours is getting a divorce?
Usually, it’s “Why?”
And it’s not always because you care about the people involved with the marriage — usually it’s just morbid curiousity. Sometimes the marriage has just run its course and it’s time for both parties to move along to the next phase in their lives. Sometimes there are personal, philosophical, moral, financial, or other extended circumstances that just make for juicy neighborhood gossip.
Web Watch knows one couple whose marriage was dissolved within 30 days of the wedding. It’s not important that it ended up being the right thing to do for the people involved, that entire event is still a topic of conversation many years later, in part because it’s just a great dramatic (and slightly amusing) story.
Which brings us to another reason why some marriages end in divorce, as seemingly brought up in the news when Sandra Bullock won her Oscar — sometimes men don’t want to be married to women who are more successful than they are.

Do you like your boss?
Not everybody does.
Sometimes, it all depends on whether you have respect for your boss and their abilities, or whether the boss treats you as you would like to be treated.
Sometimes, the bosses you see on TV are the only ideal that you have available to compare bosses with, and that’s when you find out that your boss just doesn’t measure up.

Homeless and begging on the street is not a way to go through life. But sadly, there are millions of people who – for whatever reason – find themselves having to do so.
Some do so willingly, as it is a better way of life than the one they left behind. Others do it because they have no other choice, and they struggle to scrape enough together to have a meal, a toothbrush, some occasional clean clothes.
One reporter decided to see what the homeless really wanted, if money was seemingly no object. So they GAVE THE HOMELESS VISA and AMERICAN EXPRESS GIFT CARDS with fixed dollar amounts to spend. The plan was to offer the gift cards to any panhandler who asked for money, but the promise was to go out any buy only what you need, but to return the card to the reporter within 30 minutes.

Do you consider yourself to be a rude person?
Even if you don’t think it’s you that’s rude, it’s quite possible that other people think you are. And according to a NEW SURVEY ON AMERICAN MANNERS, American’s are becoming more and more rude when compared to before.
The survey asked the question, “Are Americans becoming kinder and gentler, or more rude and less civilized?”.
Only 14% selected the former, with 69% choosing the “rude” entry. When this poll was conducted a year ago, 75% said that Americans were becoming more rude.
