People are so nice on the Internet
Hello Friend,
Compliments of the day to you, I do hope all is well. I am the wife of a powerful retired executive of once one of the biggest manufacturing company here in Asia and I have information on a transaction that I believe will be of mutual benefits to both of us. It is necessary that this business be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect us from any breach of the law. What is required will be your complete trust and honest cooperation to enable us to see this transaction through. You will have to show commitments to the cause as time will be of great importance in what we have to do.
Mrs. Chung Hee-Ja

A meatless menu... with prawns?
And at the tables, the meatless menu included a mix of Indian and American favorites, including some African-American standards. Collard greens and curried prawns, chickpeas and okra, nan and cornbread were served to the 320 guests — including some well-known Republicans and prominent Indian-Americans — who started off with arugula from the White House garden and finished up with pumpkin pie tart. (After a tasting at the White House on Sunday, the Obamas gave the dishes their stamp of approval, Mr. Samuelsson said.)

Target's pathetic and insulting adversting
Have you seen this woman in Target ads? She's spastic... and just plain... yuck.
Target often has stylish ads, but this is an insult to America's intelligence and misses the whole concept of the meaning of Thanksgiving.
Talk about an ugly, consumerist, obnoxious American—they've certainly portrayed that here.
