The Lindsay Sues Talking Babies

Published by admin under Coffee Break

Do you remember E*TRADE’s Super Bowl ad?

The one with the talking baby named Lindsay who’s a "milk-aholic"?

It seems Lindsay Lohan believes it’s a slam against her, that her first name “Lindsay” is used like Madonna’s or Cher’s would be.

Lindsay Lohan has filed a lawsuit and wants a whopping $100 million!

Over "milk-aholic"?

What do YOU think?

Me? I think Lindsay Lohan is a whack job who should get over herself. I mean seriously, how many Lindsay’s do you know?

Social Media at Work – Ban or Boon?

Published by admin under Coffee Break

As the average time spent on social media sites increases, some companies are beginning to ban the use of social networking at the office in fear that employees are wasting time. Do you think banning social media sites will increase productivity?

Consider these findings from a 2009 survey on policies and data loss risks from Proofpoint Inc.:

  • 17 percent of companies report that they have investigated the posting of confidential, sensitive or private information to a social network, such as Facebook or LinkedIn.
  • 10 percent have taken disciplinary actions against an employee who violated social networking policies in the past 12 months.
  • 8 percent terminated an employee for violating a social networking policy.
  • 45 percent are highly concerned about unauthorized information being posted on social networks.

If you were an employer, would you allow your employees to engage in social media activity while on the clock?

Catholic Church Bars Child of Gay Couple from Enrolling

Published by admin under Coffee Break

Is it right for a Catholic school to deny a child enrollment because his parents are gay? It happened at a school in Boulder. The Reverend at the church said…"If a child of gay parents comes to our school, and we teach that gay marriage is against the will of God, then the child will think that we are saying their parents are bad."

Those outraged by his actions don’t buy it.

One banner reads: Teach acceptance. Celebrate all of God’s children."

Personally, I think the parents should have known better than try to enroll a child in a Catholic school. The school is a private school and has the right to teach any way they want to.

It would cause confusion for a child to attend a school that teaches what your parents are doing is wrong.

Why would they even want to try to put their kids in a school like that, given the circumstances.

If it’s for the 15 minutes of fame or to create drama – it’s done – now move on already.

For those who can’t get enough Kate Gosselin

kate gosselin

From one reality TV show to another —RadarOnline confirmed that Kate Gosselin will appear on the next season of “Dancing With the Stars.”

What can I say, I never really watched the show before – and I’m probably not going to start now.

I do wonder how many will be tuning in just to see Kate though?

Flying with Children Rules

Published by admin under Coffee Break, Parenting

The National Transportation Safety Board is pushing airlines to make a rule stopping parents from holding babies in their laps during a flight. Should parents have to buy an extra airline seat for small children?

As a former frequent flier, I can easily see the need for children having their own seat.

When driving or riding in a car, kids are placed in their own seats or car seats and no one says anything.

Flying should not be seen as any different.

Once the flight is in the air, I can see a parent holding a child or baby – but during takeoff and landing – there are safety issues that should be considered.

Having and raising children is expensive.

Rhode Island School Fires All Teachers

Published by admin under Coffee Break, Parenting

A high school in Rhode Island is among the lowest ranking schools in the state. The school graduates less than half its students.

Whose fault is that? The student or the teacher?

In order to combat the growing problem, the high school is firing ALL the teachers and staff saying it needs an overhaul.

Is this the right solution or is it too drastic a measure?

Parent Alert: Chatroulette

Published by admin under Coffee Break, Parenting

A new site called “Chatroulette” allows kids to video chat with complete strangers… you click “play” and you’re connected randomly with someone else. You can just imagine what might be waiting for you on the other end

On Chatroulette, a new and controversial Web site, every click lands you in a face-to-face video conversation with a random stranger.

This is one of the big reasons we use and I recommend Firefox! You can utilize a Firefox Add-on called BlockSite and prevent your kids from visiting any site you want them to stay away from.

Howard Stern On Idol

Published by Jody under Grammy's Corner

Please people get your head out of the sand and voice your opinion about the Idol even considering putting the pervert Howard Stern, on prime time TV. The American Idol is watched by millions of people each week this includes young people, do you really want to expose your children to Howard Stern?

What is he going to bring to the show, except shock? Oh let me guess he is going to tell the young girls to expose their breast just before he tries to grab her?

What has happened to our morals, are they considered obsolete? Just look at the people that we are applauding American Idol/Foxin politics, sports, movies, and oh yes TV and then we have the nerve to ask what is wrong with the world?

Do you believe that this would be to bold a move for a show losing its founding father Simon Cowell, or do you think it would be final straw for the family-friendly franchise? The feeling is that it will be one or the other and nothing in between, total failure or a bigger hit than ever.

It is said that Howard Stern’s natural gift for polarizing the masses, makes him a top contender for hosting the top-rated show on television. Stern’s would be excepted to surpass Simon Cowell or crash and burn, what do you think about Stern’s potential success on the Idol?

My guess is that it will all come down to what the show thinks their profits and ratings have to gain, as usual money rules.

Give us your opinion should Howard Stern be considered for American Idol?
