ok, I'm really getting fed up with this. I understand a healthy lifestyle is good, but I wonder, is it all getting too ridiculous and out of control? First it was cigarettes, ok sure, they're bad. Fine. Don't smoke, don't allow smoking anywhere. Whatever. I can smoke in my house. Then food.

I couldn't resist. I read this on one of the many wonderful WIRED blogs, and it's just too funny.“Hurry up!” an impatient voice says. “I haven’t got all day.” The order comes from a gray-haired man who appears on a flatscreen television placed in the center of a Hollywood soundstage.

There is little doubt that as long as people are able to think up things, they'll continue finding ways to make them become true. Think cars, the airplane, the internet and bottled water...

Sometimes you find something online that is worth sharing: a "funny" video of a kid getting harrased, an interesting article or a picture worth a thousand words, but then there's also the people who just forward recycled thoughts around... it's usually the same people who think all "The Internet" is for, is checking email.
