Web Watch does enjoy watching Food Network shows like WORST CHEF IN AMERICA, if only because we know that we are certainly not inept in our own kitchen.
We may not make the most amazingly-great tasting or nutritiously well-balanced meals, but we would never starve ourselves or our guests. And it’s all because Web Watch knows our way around a kitchen. Cooking is like driving – the method may not be pretty, but we’ll get you there.

Obscene, Indecent, Immoral and Offensive: 100+ Years of Censored, Banned, and Controversial Films
Not everyone is a fan of censorship.
But sometimes, movie studios release different versions of films to meet different audience needs. For example, a version of a film shown on an cross-country airplane flight (“this film has been edited for content”) may be cropped differently or have a different audio track than the same film seen on HBO, on DVD, or when downloaded from Netflix.
Sometimes, the studios even release different versions of the films based on actual ratings received from the MPAA — they may sell an R-rated version at Wal-Mart, but an unrated version via Amazon. Or a PG-version in the United States, and an NC-17 version in Europe.
So the question that Web Watch readers should be asking is “how do we go about to find out the differences between all these different versions of films, to be sure that the version we’re watching isn’t censored… or if it is censored, what are we missing?”

Built to Serve: How to Drive the Bottom Line with People-First Practices
A while back, Web Watch wrote about whether the EXPRESS LANE would be faster than a REGULAR LANE at the supermarket, based on the number of people you had to wait in line behind.
Some additional analysis has been done on the optimum supermarket (or large chain store) checkout practices, and you may be suprised at what they found: THE LANE YOU CHOOSE TO WAIT ON WILL INVARIABLY TAKE LONGER THAN OTHERS.

A recent survey of 5,000 men and women by an online shopping site had some bad news about the hygiene habits of people in the UK.
For example, they found that 7% OF WOMEN SURVEYED DO NOT CHANGE THEIR UNDERWEAR DAILY.
Remember when WEB WATCH SAID THAT UNDERWEAR CONTAINS A 10th of a GRAM OF POOP? You may want to revist that article after reading the rest of these stats…

Quicken Money Management Software
With the holiday gift-giving season right around the corner, you may find yourself trying to find ways to scrape some money together.
Web Watch is a fan of making a big dinner, then eating leftovers for lunch the next day to avoid paying $5-$10 for lunch. Doing that can save the average office worker at least $20/week in lunch money – up to $50/week or more, if you eat at fancier places. That’s found money.
If you subscribe to HBO, SHOWTIME or other premium movie channel – you may want to consider dropping those and switching to an “on-demand” movie service like NetFlix or Amazon on Demand (assuming you have a TiVo, PS3, or other box that will support those services). The $10/month that you’ll pay is likely less than what you would pay for those TV channels.
Here are some other suggestions for HOW TO CUT UNNECESSARY EXPENSES OUT OF YOUR BUDGET, simply by changing your purchasing habits, or substituting different products for ones you use every day:
For years, retailers have been struggling with whether to go the route of political correctness to avoid offending any group that was left out of holiday advertising and promotions, or just go with the majority rule.
Companies instructed salespeople to say “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas”… and this generic greeting ended up insulting and angering millions of people for not recognizing the Reason for the (Shopping) Season.
It ends up that the AMERICAN FAMILY ASSOCIATION has been keeping a list of who has been naughty (those retailers who insist on being all-inclusive with their holiday messages) and who has been nice (retailers that proudly proclaim “Merry Christmas”).
