Donna Summer Died

Bliss — Thu, 17 May 2012 16:18:51 GMT

RIP, Donna.

TMZ is reporting that Donna Summer has passed away in Florida this morning. She was reportedly battling cancer.

I was just listening to her last night....:( Even posted her classic song...
I loved her...she was before my time where I could really appreciate her, but when I reached the age to appreciate her music, I fell in love, like everyone else.

Will Smith astounded by French tax proposal

Iggy — Thu, 17 May 2012 10:34:02 GMT

When confronted with proposals by Socialist French President-elect Francois Hollande to raise the millionaire tax to 75 percent, actor Will Smith � a supporter of President Barack Obama�s proposed Buffett rule � was shocked.

Slate�s Matthew Yglesias wrote about the interview Monday. The Buffett rule calls for taxing individuals with earned income over $1 million at a 30 percent rate.

Smith, one of the highest paid stars in Hollywood, told the Associated Press that he is �very supportive� of the increase in taxes that would affect around 210,000 tax payers.

�America has been fantastic to me. I have no problem paying whatever I need to pay to keep my country growing,� he said.

The anchor told Smith that Hollande is proposing tax increases on earned income over 1 million Euros, asking what Smith�s view is on the American debate over a 30 percent rate.

Smith responded that he�s happy to pay extra money and is happy to be an American along with the taxes that come with that. Then the anchor told Smith that the French proposed rate isn�t 30 percent, but rather 75 percent.

Smith�s response: �Wow, that�s different. � God bless America.�

NFL 2012 Thread (news, scores, fantasy updates, etc.)

Tony Soprano — Thu, 17 May 2012 06:41:23 GMT

Figured now was as good a time to get started since free agency & the draft is over. Even though my guys got the worst QB since Todd Marinovich (Blaine Gabbert), our 1st round pick in Justin Blackmon makes this year a lil bit better. In my 25 years of following the NFL, this kid could be another Michael Irvin. (if only)

The Racist Airline Passenger

Kid Rasta — Wed, 16 May 2012 18:56:54 GMT

A 50-something year old white woman arrived at her seat and saw that the passenger next to her was a black man.

Visibly furious, she called the air hostess.

"What's the problem, ma?" the hostess asked her

"Can't you see?" the lady said - "I was given a seat next to a black man. I can't seat here next to him. You have to change my seat"

- "Please, calm down, ma" - said the hostess
"Unfortunately, all the seats are occupied, but I'm still going to check if we have any."

The hostess left and returned some minutes later.

"Madam, as I told you, there isn't any empty seat in this class- economy class.
But I spoke to the captain and he confirmed that there isn't any empty seats in the economy class. We only have seats in the first class."

And before the woman said anything, the hostess continued

"Look, it is unusual for our company to allow a passenger from the economy class change to the first class.
However, given the circumstances, the commandant thinks that it would be a scandal to make a passenger travel sat next to an unpleasant person."

And turning to the black man, the hostess said:

"Which means, Sir, if you would be so nice to pack your handbag, we have reserved you a seat in the first class..."

And all the passengers nearby, who were shocked to see the scene started applauding, some standing on their feet."

vogue calling for healthy body image

lottie — Wed, 16 May 2012 18:48:45 GMT

I'm still not sure how far this will change things but it seems a step in the right direction; time will tell.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/17996975

Nineteen international editors from fashion magazine Vogue have jointly agreed to a pact where they they will only work with "healthy" models.
The guidelines appear in the UK magazine's June issue to encourage a healthier approach to body image.
UK editor of Vogue magazine, Alexandra Shulman, said: "We have to have a conversation with designers, models and take the message out to schools.
"We can make a difference but won't change things overnight."

Model agents are not dishonest about the girls' eating habits but they can be a bit flexible with the truth

Alexandra Shulman Editor, UK Vogue magazine
The fashion industry has been criticised in the past for using models that some say promote unrealistic body types and help contribute to eating disorders among women.
The editors have agreed to ask modelling agents to check IDs and say they will "not knowingly work with models under the age of 16 or who appear to have an eating disorder".
Alexandra Shulman said: "Model agents are not dishonest about the girls' eating habits but they can be a bit flexible with the truth over all aspects of the girls."
She said that while it was impossible to be completely scientific about the health of a girl, the magazine did not want to use pictures of girls with eating disorders.
"Sometimes I will say to photographers, 'She looks too thin' and we won't use her."
In 2009, she also criticised fashion houses for sending sample clothes too small for many models to wear.
She said that she was frustrated that the industry hadn't acted.
"Nothing has changed monumentally about sample sizes and I am disappointed as it would be a good starting point," she said.
'Like cattle' In the pact, Vogue editors have now promised that they will "encourage designers to consider the consequences of unrealistically small sample sizes of their clothing... [because it] encourages the use of extremely thin models".
Eating disorders: The statistics

It is estimated that one in 100 women aged between 15-30 have anorexia
Eating disorders are around 10 times more common in females than males
1.6 million people in the UK suffer from an eating disorder. 10% suffer from anorexia and 40% suffer from bulimia

BBC Health: More on eating disorders
Earlier this year, Israel brought in laws on using skinny models on the catwalk and in adverts.
However, Alexandra Shulman said that she was against a similar move in the UK.
"I am very anti any legislation," she said. "The idea that you start weighing in girls and checking the body mass index is treating them like cattle.
"It goes too far. It's not to do with how much someone weighs. This is to do with healthy eating."
Eating disorder charity beat described the pact as a positive step.
"We are pleased to see the doyennes of fashion taking their responsibilities seriously because they influence young people," it said in a statement.
"We would like these proposals to be far-reaching and followed across the whole industry."
