Why Men Hate Being in Pictures (Video)
November 27, 2014
Hahaaaa! I can sorta relate to this… Get ready for some more ‘guy truth’ everyone. Don’t worry. Not so much a rant as it is an explanation for all you ‘Shutterbug’ folks out there.
I think that pure joy on a man’s face captured in a photo is probably the most embarrassing thing that can happen to a man…
– Robbie Sherrard
Of course… you could take a pic of a dude watching the eye candy in the vid after the jump if you want to see pure joy in your photo.

Wal-Mart Could Help Eliminate Poverty By Sharing The Wealth… With Its Own Employees (Video)
November 27, 2014
Heartbreaking letter from LaRanda Jackson, a 20-year-old Wal-Mart employee who posted it to Alice Walton (heiress to Sam Walton’s Wal-Mart empire) on Wal-Mart’s “Hunger Games” Tumblr page.
I’m writing to you because it hurts to see the pain in my younger brothers’ eyes when we can’t afford food to fill their stomachs. Sure, they see that I’m working hard, taking the bus an hour each way to get to work at Walmart. Even though they know that things are tight right now, that our mom is often too sick to work, they just can’t understand why last year on Thanksgiving they didn’t get turkey and gravy like other kids their age.
But hey, what can Alice do? How could she help? All she did was inherit tons (literally) of money. Well, Walton family, listen to activist economist Robert Reich (above).

New Orleans’ NBA Franchise Should Change Name To “Scorpions” While Anthony Davis Is Becoming A Star (Video)
November 26, 2014
It’s no question that Anthony Davis is going to be a significant star in the NBA, but I just wish New Orleans would change the name of that dang franchise. I mean c’mon man…. The Pelicans?! I’ve said it on twitter several times over they should change the name to the “New Orleans Scorpions.” Ever since the Charlotte Bobcats changed their name back to Hornets they’ve had impressive sales & huge response from fans in the city. I believe if New Orleans would switch to “Scorpions” they would do the same. I know I spent too much time on this issue instead of Anthony Davis, but I just had to get it off my chest. Make it happen New Orleans…
