Lawsuit over the World’s Largest PEZ Dispenser

Post author By web gangsta
Post date September 21, 2009

The WORLD’S LARGEST PEZ DISPENSER is getting sued.

Well, not the dispenser itself, but the Burlingham, California people who built the World’s Largest PEZ dispenser and included it as a display in their INTERNATIONAL PEZ MUSEUM.

The company behind PEZ didn’t like the perceived copyright infringement that’s taking place, especially after this unauthorized reproduction received a GUINNESS WORLD RECORD for the Largest Candy Dispenser. The reason behind the lawsuit is that it’s not an official PEZ product, so therefore should not be eligible for being recognized as a valid PEZ dispenser in the first place.

Why Does The Express Lane Sometimes Suck?

Post author By web gangsta
Post date September 17, 2009

Have you ever gone to the checkout lane at the store and wondered whether it was worthwhile to get in line behind the one lady with the full cart and the screaming kids, or join the longer “10 items or less” express line?

And without fail, you will always choose the wrong line.

It ends up that the grocery stores have checkout times down to a science, and it took a high school math teacher to figure out which lane is going to be the best choice.

Want to Stimulate the Economy? Buy Underpants

Post author By web gangsta
Post date September 3, 2009

A new study has come out that equates MEN’S UNDERWEAR PURCHASE WITH ECONOMIC STIMULATION.

Because nothing says “stimulation” than seeing that the men’s underwear market is a US$5 billion a year industry, give or take a little.

And these business analysts say that the economic ups-and-downs we’ve been experiencing lately are all tied to how often men purchase their tighty-whiteys, boxers, boxer briefs, thongs(!), and banana hammocks. (Web Watch includes those latter items for our European and more adventurous readers.)

Photo Blog: People of Wal-Mart

Why do people hate Wal-Mart?

It can’t be because of their everyday low prices.

It can’t be because of their wide selection of quality merchandise.

It can’t be because of their easily accessible locations, their policy allowing RVs to park overnight, or many being open 24 hours for everyone’s shopping convenience.

If it’s not the company, the stores, or the employees, it has to be something else. Something more…. esoteric.

SWOOPO – A Cheaper(?) Alternative to eBay

Post author By web gangsta
Post date August 18, 2009

If you are eBay auction-addicted, but are looking for a new way to find some high-end items relatively cheap, then SWOOPO may be the auction site for you.

Like eBay, it’s an online auction site.

But unlike eBay, where eBay makes money from the seller (auction posting fees) and from the buyer (taking a percentage of the final auction price), Swoopo uses a slightly different pricing model:

Jason Sadler is the next in a long line of Internet-savvy marketers who are working the ‘net to make a buck. Remember the MILLION DOLLAR HOME PAGE, where businesses paid $1 per pixel to have their logo displayed on a giant home page? Yeah, they made their money (and a lot of press).

Jason is doing the same type of thing, but instead of selling pixels, he’s selling his body.
