This new BK Spongebob commercial is under fire by some parents other parents disagree and say “What’s the big deal!?”
“Spongebob Squarepants is a character for pre-schoolers,” said Joe Kelly of the organization Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood. “And it’s being used in this highly sexualized ad that objectifies women and that’s an incredibly outrageous message to be sending to kids.”
Burger King responded by saying the ad is aired “only during shows targeting adult audiences” and “is intended to show that even adults can have fun.”
“Models shaking their butts? ‘Baby Got Back?’” one mother said, pointing to her daughter. “Next thing you know, this one will be doing it.”
A different father disagreed, saying “It’s beautiful. There’s nothing indecent about it. I like it.” Source
Seems for the most part people are just overreacting, there’s far worse commercials out there than “square butts” oh my!
Today is the 62nd anniversary of the day Jackie Robinson stepped onto Ebbets Field as a professional baseball player. The first African American baseball player successfully play a complete season, let alone have a Hall of Fame career.
Jackie Robinson not only changed the face of Baseball forever but the views of America as well. There is never enough that can be said or done to thank Robinson for all that he endured in his baseball career and after with his affairs fighting for civil rights.
Major League Baseball has already, fittingly, retired his number from all of baseball, but now this year marks the first year that every player and coach and all on-field personel will wear the number 42. This only goes for one day a year on the anniversary of his debut in honor of Jackie Robinson.
Mariano Rivera the only active player who is allowed to wear the number 42, due to the fact that he wore it before the league-wide retirement of the number.
A five-centimeter fir tree has been found in the lung of a man who complained he had a strong pain in his chest and was coughing blood.
Doctors x-rayed his chest and found a tumor in one of the lungs. Suspecting cancer, they made a decision to perform biopsy, but when they cut the tissue, they were amazed to see green needles in the cut.
“I blinked three times, and thought I was seeing things. Then I called the assistant to have a look,” says Vladimir Kamashev, doctor at the Udmurtian Cancer Center.
The five-centimeter branch was removed from the patient’s body.
“They told me my coughing blood was not caused by any disease,” Sidorkin says.
“It was the needles poking the capillaries. It really hurt a lot. But I never felt like I had an alien object inside of me.”
It is obvious that a five-centimeter branch is too large to be inhaled or swallowed, doctors say. They suggest that the patient might have inhaled a small bud, which then started to grow inside his body.
