Wonder if he eats amounts like that when non competing.
If so, I guess he must be Number 1 customer of a certain Fried Chicken chain we all know!

Sandbags, eh? What a wonderful high tech solution those are. Course if they happen to get used, the sand becomes radioactive, so what do you do with the sand?

I bet there are no cars produced by anyone that get the miles claimed.
I have a Toyoto Corolla, that believe it or not, gets the mileage claimed (I tracked it for 2 years). It can happen, but I do think some of the hybrid claims are clearly overstating the mileage.

Imagine Yoko in a lead singing role in a Bollywood extravaganza. She could sing Don't Worry, Kyoko--the audience would be sitting in shock listening to that one.

Movies--very exciting to see in the 1920's, 30's etc...but in today's world, hardly a novetly and "must do" form of entertainment. I don't know why media even goes on and on about it...I mean I really don't care what the Box Office gross was last weekend.
The typical movie goer is someone under 30. Ask them how much they spent on video games last year vs how much they spent on movies. The answer is obvious.

Seriously? You must have one weird idea about karma.

Perhaps they should move their artistic movement to Singagpore...but I am 100% sure they would not like reaction to their vandalism.

The boar was eating cabbage? A little ironic considering how well ham and cabbage go together. I am getting hungry just thinking about it

It is a sad photo, no doubt. I recall staying at a hotel in Asakusa for a week last February....one night I was out later than usual and realized that most of the subway exit and stairs was being set up with cardboard for sleeping purposes. Not just the sleeping there is the issue, but I wondered how they all got through the long boring day and cold evening. It's not a lot of fun trying to kill a full day even with a little money in your pocket...imagine doing it all day with virtually nothing in your pocket.
I felt kind of guilty knowing I would soon be in my hotel room and enjoying a hot bath.

but on Friday said it needed more time to compile the results
Perhaps a more correct word would be "create" the results. You can hide a lot in a financial statement and earnings report. More often what they don't tell you is more important that what they do.

Legal and moral are 2 different things. However, when you start differentiating between the two to justify your behaviour, you just know that isn't right.
Seems like someone could make some money teaching ethics to some of these business leaders.
