    In reply to Bed Bugs Invade Ad Firm. Is JC Penney Responsible?
    Bedbugs have evolved pretty much right alongside humans, i.e. for millions and millions of years. In other words, they're pretty damn adept at survival. As for their niche in the environment... that's a question I've been struggling with since I discovered my own lil' colony living in my box spring. If any crazy creationist out there wants to defend their deity's decision to "create" bedbugs, I'd love to hear the explanation.

    man, if i worked there, i would be working from home. and i'd sue my employer if i got bed bugs in my home. that shit is hella expensive to get rid of and the psychological toll is immeasurable.

    I recommend staff not bring any purses, briefcases or bags to work ever.

    @Lymed: that's how I got infested with them. A friend had been staying at a youth hostel and we were on my porch and I glanced at her camera bag and purse and saw these little critters running around. Thinking they were baby roaches we put her stuff in sealed tubs then later killed them dead. Nope, didn't work.

    A month later I noticed dried blood on the sheets and electrical sockets (where it turns out they do their wild thing, little nasties).

    This was 9 years ago. The exterminator sprayed for $100 and we didn't move them to our next place, 6 weeks later. I don't remember having any bites on my body. Flea bites I still get...alas.

    I am beyond interested in how bed bugs evolved, what part of the Earth they originate from, and what role they play in an environmental niche.

    It's important to remember that the only difference between us and the animals is the ability to accessorize--so I guess we NEED to buy some accessories!

    So she killed it to save it? Have you actually LOOKED at Vogue? The cosmic cluelessness in evidence here is truly noteworthy.

    Ok - One of them has had some kind of relationship with Lindsey Lohan, but why would anybody know her brother and why would her sister get a clothing line?

    @Cynical Media Bitch:
    ...and that gets you a clothing line?

    I understand Paris Hilton. She's worked hard to market a brand and has become a multimillion dollar conglomerate; Bruce Jenner's stepchildren are on some kind of reality show, but Daddy had a song and my sister rode the "Love Bug"? I'm sure the kids in Iowa are going to lining up at Penneys, for sure.

    @Magister: I should have said "step-daddy", and yes, connections do get people places in life. Shocking, I know.

    And let's not give Paris too much credit; the girl was born on third base, it's not like she hit a triple. Let's see how her conglomerate is doing in a couple of years, and if it's selling anything more than Deluxe Editions of the Stupid Spoiled Whore Funtime Playset.

    @Magister: Are you nuts? Mark Ronson is a most excellent producer of music. Lily Allen, Amy Winehouse, Robbie Williams, Jack White, etc. + ad infinitum. Jeez! Do you kids not listen to any actual good current music? He's the real celeb here not Sam.

    @snugbug:
    Unfortunately, I'm old and though I recognize all of those names, I rarely listen to popular music.

    So, okay, the brother has done blow with the right people and he simply has a bad publicist, but that still doesn't explain the sister. (Though, she's not in the photo, so that may say something for her level of "fame", but it might not bode well for Penneys.)

    For some reason, I can no longer "approve", but after reading your reprimand and some of the other comments, maybe I should've kept my mouth shut.

    (Again, I'm old and I don't know designers)

    @Magister: Aww, dear.. Hope we haven't been too tough on you. Not your fault that the two legit Ronson sibs (Mark, Charlotte, in that order) are lesser known to the tabloid trade and/or covered on Gawker. Tschüssi!

    @snugbug: Don't worry about it. Though now I've learned that my previous instinct about ignoring the bold names, I don't know was probably correct, but it's no skin off my nose.

    What I find remarkable is how wrong my impression of the Sam person has been; I've always thought she was just some kid who worked a few parties and Lohan had hooked-up with the help. Sort of like, how I used to hit on waitresses and barmaids, when it was closing time and I didn't want to go home alone.

    Oh well, live and learn.
