STICKY SATURDAY

Highs into the 70's today but it'll be a muggy one.
Here's a BUNCH of stuff!




WE SHARE EVERYTHING ON FACEBOOK...ALMOST!
Facebook has made us into a world of OVERSHARERS. In a new survey, an employment website called Glassdoor.com wanted to see if there's ANYTHING that most people are reluctant to share online.

And they found there are only TWO things that we all agree are not for sharing online. Those are...details about your SEX LIFE and details about your SALARY.

Only 2% of Americans said they were comfortable sharing either of those.

I could probably point you in the direction of some folks who ARE in that 2%, but I won't...

Nothing else was close...although a good number of people also said they were reluctant to share their kid's activities and their household purchases.

The survey also found that 18- to 34-year-olds are most likely to share info about their relationships and jobs...women are most likely to share relationship details, vacation photos, and shopping photos...and Northeasterners share the least.









HEY FOREIGN PEOPLE...SUCK IT! WE'RE FRIENDLY!
Here's a message to all the other countries out there who say Americans are rude and obnoxious...EFF YOU. We're super, super nice, you a-holes. And we have the data to prove it.

According to a new global survey by HSBC Bank and "Forbes", the U.S. is the FOURTH friendliest country in the world.

The only countries that beat the U.S. were Canada, Bermuda, and South Africa.

The rankings were based on four factors: How easy it is for foreigners to befriend locals...success in learning the local language...capacity to integrate into the community...and the ease of fitting in to the foreign culture.

The full top 10 goes: Canada, Bermuda, South Africa, U.S., Australia, Spain, France, United Kingdom, Malaysia, and Germany.

As for the least-friendly countries...of the places included in the study, Qatar got the lowest score. It was just below Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Switzerland, and India.









THIS WON'T GET HER TO GO HOME WITH YOU...
Last week, a 21-year-old man was at a bar in Destin, Florida. His name hasn't been released, but it was 2:20 A.M., and he wanted to pick up a woman before the night was over.

So he started trying to talk to a 21-year-old. Her name wasn't released either, but we do know that she wasn't interested and wouldn't talk to him. Which was a great instinct on her part, because the guy turned out to be QUITE the gentlemen.

He was so upset that she was rejecting him that he got belligerent, loud...and then PUNCHED the woman in the FACE!!! He gave her an uppercut that left bruising and swelling on her chin.

Whatcha bet he had an Ed Hardy shirt on? Affliction?

The man was arrested and charged with misdemeanor battery.








DUN DUN DUN...
KRAYZIE BONE has QUIT BONE THUGS-N-HARMONY...and the other guys are NOT happy about it.

Flesh-n-Bone and Layzie Bone tell TMZ that Krayzie is a, quote "dumb (eff)" for leaving the group, because Bone "made him who he is."

Flesh adds, "Krayzie might as well say '(Eff) Eazy-E' because he is disrespecting Eazy-E's legacy by leaving the group." (The late Eazy-E discovered Bone back in the early '90s.)

Bone will go on without Krayzie, and they say they will welcome him back if he chooses to return.








HOOVER PULLS THEIR ADS FROM ABC...
Last week, ABC announced that they're killing their soap operas "All My Children" and "One Life to Live".

But some people think there's a chance they could be revived, since nothing ever REALLY dies in the soap opera world. (Except their audiences??)

And get this: The crusade to resuscitate the soaps is being led by HOOVER! Yep, the vacuum company started right here in North Canton. Not only is this NOT a joke, but Hoover is playing some serious hardball.

Hoover's VP of Marketing Brian Kirkendall is so "disappointed" that ABC has canceled the soaps...that Hoover will be yanking their ads from ABC. The Hoover spots will be pulled ASAP...and all of them will be gone by this Friday.

His aggressive response could have something to do with the fact that his wife and mother are "passionate" fans of both shows...as are some of his friends at Hoover.

He's set up an email address to, "help pull together the mass emotional outpouring of support," and he will forward the fan responses to ABC. And he's also ranting about the canceled soaps on Hoover's Facebook page.

he email is SaveTheSoaps@Hoover.com...and the Facebook link is: Facebook.com/Hoover. ABC has not responded to this.








STRESSED OUT? MIGHT BE YOUR CHOICE OF CAREER!
Unlike air traffic controllers, pilots actually HAVE to stay awake when they have your life...and their own life...in their hands. And going without a nap like that is really stressful.

The website CareerCast.com just put out its annual report on the top 10 most and least stressful jobs of the year...and commercial airline pilot was named the number one most stressful job.

In general, the jobs on the high stress list are ones that are dangerous, intense, filled with crisis situations, high-pressure, or some combination of those. The low stress jobs are ones that have very little danger and minimal physical demand.

The least stressful career of 2011 is...audiologist. If you don't know, that's someone who diagnoses and treats hearing disorders.

The top 10 least stressful jobs are: Audiologist . . . dietitian . . . software engineer . . . computer programmer . . . dental hygienist . . . speech pathologist . . . philosopher . . . mathematician . . . occupational therapist . . . and chiropractor.

The top 10 MOST stressful are: Commercial airline pilot . . . PR executive . . . senior corporate executive . . . photojournalist . . . newscaster . . . advertising account exec . . . architect . . . stockbroker . . . EMT . . . and real estate agent.







BLAME IT ON THE BIRD. THE BIRD IS THE WORD...
On Sunday afternoon, outside of Toronto, police spotted a 58-year-old woman swerving down the street, continuously honking her horn.

They tried to pull the woman over but she kept swerving...and crashed into a CITY BUS.

That brought her car to a stop, and fortunately, no one was hurt. And when the police went over to the woman's car, they found something strange...she was HALF NAKED.

Tragically, no reports have said whether it was the top half or the bottom half. Or why she was naked in the middle of a Sunday afternoon.

The woman wasn't drunk or speeding...no, she told the cops she lost control of the car because her PET BIRD got loose inside and was flying around like crazy.

She was arrested for reckless driving. The bird is being cared for by the humane society.







NICKI MINAJ...
Rockin' the LAPDANCE! Yummy

JUSTIN IS LOSING HIS HAIR...
Yep, JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE...the guy that 99% of ladies wanna bang. I hafta tell ya, this makes me feel better about my hair that's slowly crawling back on my head!

There's a reason Justin keeps his head well-shorn these days: HE'S LOSING HIS HAIR.

"In Touch Weekly" says Justin keeps his hair short so people won't notice he's going bald. In the meantime, he's using, "specially formulated shampoo to promote hair growth."








STUFF COSTING MORE?
There were some new numbers last Friday about the Consumer Price Index...that's a measurement of the overall price of household goods. According to the new stats, it's gone up 2.7% in the last year.

And the price of gas...which has gone up 28% in the last year...is just the tip of the iceberg. Here are ten other things that either ALREADY cost more, or are ABOUT to cost more.

#1.) Plane Tickets. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, domestic fares went up 22% between August and February, mostly because of gas prices.

#2.) Insurance. State Farm just announced an average rate hike of 18.8% for homeowners in Florida, so we can assume they'll do the same thing everywhere else soon. And Allstate has been raising rates for auto insurance too.

#3.) Chocolate. Late last month, Hersey's raised its wholesale prices by almost 10%. The prices in most stores haven't gone up yet, but they will in May or June.

#4.) Coffee. The price of coffee jumped 27% between December and March, and companies like Starbucks, Folgers, and Dunkin' Donuts have all started charging more.

#5.) Fast Food. McDonald's is raising prices this year because the cost of ingredients is going up. And Wendy's says they expect to pay 15% more for beef in 2011. So expect the price of a burger to go up at basically EVERY restaurant.

#6.) Produce. Even when you take the growing season into account, the price of fruit and vegetables has gone up an astounding 23% in the last three months. Bananas are up 10%, and potatoes are up 39%.

#7.) Furniture. Companies like Ethan Allen and La-Z-Boy are charging up to 7% more because the prices of cotton, yarn, leather, and steel have gone up.

#8.) Juice. Last month, Tropicana announced they'll be charging 4 to 8% more for some types of juice, because cold weather damaged citrus crops in Florida. And Minute Maid is doing the exact same thing.

#9.) Soft Drinks. The price of carbonated drinks went up by 14% between December and March, mainly because of higher costs for ingredients, packaging, and transportation.

#10.) Tires. Between September and March, U.S. tire prices climbed 6%, and last month Cooper Tires raised their prices for the second time this year.

When they announced the price hike, the company said the price for rubber had gone up 75% in just a few months.








IT'S NOT THE WRONG SIZE, IT LOOKS GREAT...
I had no idea so many women walk around HATING the way their lady parts look. Especially since, when a guy actually earns his way down there, the LAST thing he cares about is how picturesque the view is.

But that's not stopping the self-loathing. According to a survey, 89% of women, or eight out of nine, say they don't think their lady-junk is attractive, sexy or beautiful. And more than 57% think their stuff is the IMPROPER SIZE.

There's a new photography book out called "I'll Show You Mine" that features shockingly close-up photos of women down there.

The photographer says the goal is to show women that, quote, "[the] stunning diversity and beauty of the female vulva does not abide by the unrealistic ideal of a neat clamshell propelled by mass media and mainstream pornography."








ARKANSAS MORE ADVANCED THAN US?
When it comes to the states with the most households that aren't using landline phones anymore, numbers one and two are Arkansas and Mississippi.

That means they're more technologically advanced than the rest of us and rely on their cell phones...or that even landline technology hasn't reached them and they're using two tin cans on a string.

According to the National Center for Health Statistics, 35.2% of people ages 18 and older in Arkansas live in households that don't have a landline. For Mississippi, it's 35.1%.

The rest of the states where more than 30% of people are in non-landline households are: Texas, North Dakota, Idaho, Kentucky, Oregon, Colorado, Nebraska, and Oklahoma.

As for people who are still using their home phones, New Jersey and Rhode Island are the leaders. Only 12.8% of people in each of those states lives in a household without a landline.

The rest of the states where less than 20% of people live without landlines are: Connecticut, South Dakota, New Hampshire, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New York, California, Maryland, Montana, and Alaska.








I KNEW IT!!
Bad news, Purell junkies. According to the FDA, you're wasting your time.

Sure, hand sanitizers do kill SOME germs...but when it comes to protecting you against the biggest antibiotic-resistant infections, they fall way short. That includes things like E. coli, salmonella, H1N1, staph infections...and even the flu.

On their website, the FDA wrote, "Consumers are being misled if they think these products you can buy in a drug store...will protect them from a potentially deadly infection. The FDA has not approved any [of these] products."

They say that washing your hands with warm water and soap for 20 seconds is still their recommended method for avoiding bacterial and viral infections.







YOU STAY CLASSY, SANDUSKY...
For one brief moment in time on Tuesday, 19-year-old Andrea Musser of Perkins Township, near Sandusky, was the homecoming queen, belle of the ball, and Girl Gone Wild all at the same time. That moment of glory ended very quickly, though.

On Tuesday night, Andrea went to visit a friend of hers at a jail in Erie County. As she left, she stood outside the jail...and lifted up her shirt to FLASH HIM...and I'm guessing every other inmate who was lucky enough to be watching.

Unfortunately, jail personnel were also watching...and Andrea was arrested and charged with public indecency and trespassing. She got a 10-day suspended sentence and a $223 fine. LOL!








INCREASE YOUR SEX APPEAL...
A sense of humor is one of the most important things people look for when they're dating. So to help users find people they're comically compatible with, Match.com came up with a list of the ten different types of humor.

You'll fall into at least one of these categories, but hopefully a few.

#1.) Laugh-At-Life Humor. According to Match.com, people with this type of sense of humor tend to like the kind of satire and fake news you'd find in "The Onion".

Basically, they don't take life too seriously, and look for the absurdity in situations.

#2.) Bonding-In-The-Moment Humor. This type of person uses humor to bond with people. And their jokes are usually good-natured rather than insulting. So it's a good type of humor to use on dates.

#3.) Slapstick Humor. This one's pretty straightforward: If your favorite movie of all time is "Airplane" or you've seen every episode of "The Three Stooges", then you're probably a fan of slapstick.

#4.) Sarcastic Humor. This type of person enjoys dark, scathing jokes, like what you'd find on "The Daily Show".

Sarcasm on a first date can be tricky. So Match.com says you should use it in small doses, and always pair it with an appropriate facial expression or tone of voice.

#5.) Self-Deprecating Humor. Chris Farley and John Belushi are two of the most famous self-deprecating comedians. And in small doses, it's endearing. But if you overuse it...especially on a date...you'll seem like you have bad self-esteem.

#6.) Deadpan Humor. If you crack people up without smiling or even raising an eyebrow, you have a deadpan sense of humor. The only problem is, your jokes can fall flat because people don't REALIZE you're joking.

#7.) Highbrow Humor. It's like what you might read in "The New Yorker", and it's a great style of humor on dates...as long as your date knows all the obscure references you're making.

But if you ONLY have a highbrow sense of humor, you can come across as a know-it-all.

#8.) Insult Comedy. If you loved Perez Hilton BEFORE he decided to stop bullying celebrities, this is you. And if you find the right person, you can sit on the couch and rip on people all day.

But it's a very negative style of humor. So it won't go over well on a date unless you know for sure that the person loves making fun of people too.

#9.) Cultural References. People who use this style of humor know a movie quote for every situation in life. The problem is when they talk to someone who's not up on pop culture like they are, their jokes don't make sense.

#10.) Bathroom Humor. If you like gross jokes and jokes about bodily fluids, then you like bathroom humor. Most people do on SOME level, but if you're over the age of 13 and ONLY make bathroom jokes, people will just think you're a moron.








And now...you're armed with proper knowledge...go forth into your weekend! Hoppy Easter!
