Is There Anything Bacon Can't Do?

Perhaps. But it helps your sex-life. At least, so says Cristina Kirchner. And hell - it's not like I needed another reason to eat bacon, but I'll always accept new justifications.

Least Essential Albums

As they do every year, the A.V. Club has spoken, and it is good. Or rather, the list is good; the music?.....well, Creed has a new album out. 'Nuff said.

Most. Inappropriate. Product-Display-Arrangement. EVER.

So, earlier this week, I was at Macy's down by Penn Station (the Macy's of Miracle on 34th Street) doing some Christmas shopping. I happened to be browsing in the jewelry section, when I came upon a little case displaying various charms. One was a World Trade Center charm. Maybe a little tacky, but whatever. But RIGHT NEXT TO IT in the display case?

This charm.

I have no idea if this was intentional or accidental. Equally shocked and amused, I almost said something to the salesperson along the lines of, "um, are you aware of this? Does it strike you as perhaps a bit inappropriate, at least in New York?," but I decided to let things be and leave others with the chance to be amused or appalled. Seriously, you couldn't make things up like that if you tried.
