They might have better results if the doll looked like this one.
Anyone got a $20 — I can show you how I can make it dissappear. Spoooooky.
Did they accidentally hit her with the Bristol Palin filter?
For the first time, I think the "after" torso and hips are much more realistic-looking than the "before" ones.
Ok. You're only allowed criticize NYC-ers who go "wah" if you live within 50 miles of NYC. We know it snows more in Buffalo, Minnesota, and Canada (to name a few), but guess what — we don't live there for that very reason.
You think us crazy for paying $8 for a carton of milk, putting up with 120-degree subway platforms, and paying as much as your mortgage for a run-down apartment smaller than your walk-in closet. We put up with a lot of stuff, and should be allowed to "wah" at the occasional 20" of snow. All in all, we suffer the other stuff rather quietly. Rant. Over.

Funny, but I like this one too.
Awesome, now I know I can hide my gun and explosives inside my protective shorts!
Is it Waldo?
I used to work with a technology company 10+ years ago who always had the latest in electronic whiteboards in their conference rooms. The board could capture what was written on them and send a copy through email — pretty cool for the time.
The best technology though didn't prevent them from accidentally writing on them with sharpies.

I bought a Christmas List app last year but I didn't get any more presents...
Looks like China needs a good old-fashioned El.
I think this has less to do with censorship and more to do with private property rights. Like it or not, a Walmart store is private property and they can, and do, have restrictions on photography within the store. Apple had opened up a huge front- and back-end liability by agreeing to sell the app.
On the front-end, others were profiting from shots taken on private property (the Walmart) — it doesn't matter how the content got there, the photos were obviously taken, without permission form the store or the shoppers, at a Walmart.
On the back-end, I'm sure the app muddied the retail relationship between Apple and Walmart as anyone would understand how in the reverse scenario — an app sold via Walmart showing embarrassing shots taken at Apple stores — would damage the relationship.
On the line is Walmart's pending deal to sell the iPad in time for Christmas and a potential lawsuit against Apple for profiting form photos taken on Walmart's property. Don't blame Jobs, blame his lawyers.

This smells of a desperate viral marketing attempt. Luckily, it's so bad, it does more harm than good — Hedonism is known for being a swingers' club but WHO would want to hook up with that?!?
I'm suddenly missing the "Downfall" clips. Somehow I think Hitler and Mel would have gotten along.
Great. Now I'm craving Hong Kong egg cakes (and missing the lady who sold them on Mosco Street in Chinatown) I'm gonna have to go find myself a pan this weekend.
Wow. Spotted the Richard Simmons tag (as other have below). Did some googling — am now totally creeped out: [www.thedollpage.com] and http://infomercial.tvheaven.com/richard-simmons-dolls.htm
I'm not a vodka drinker but I do have a jumbo size bottle of hendricks handy. And limes. And I keep forgetting to buy tonic.
Expect an update to this trend piece tomorrow.

Since the bomb scare last week, I've ridden the subway more than a dozen times to Times Square, driven RT over the GWB, watched as manholes exploded in the street in a block-long underground electrical fire, saw Times Square shut down (again), and had a fire in the building next door which knocked out our power.
NYC is all about scale, people. More than 18k people use my (small) subway stop every day — more than double the size of the town where I grew up. If you think we're all running scared, you need to live here. We're tougher than that.

According to the local papers, the vehicle was left running, parked in front of a fire hydrant, had no registration and only one license plate, and the owner covered the car with a tarp before leaving it.
It was obviously a PR stunt. The parking garages (right around the corner) are a lot less expensive than the $175 parking ticket you get from blocking a hydrant.
If I had been there, I would have smashed the window in personally — just for being an attention-whore asshat.

@meechybee: And we're also pretty tired of viral marketing on our sidewalks and taking up our parking spots.
