Three stories that caught my eye in the headlines box on Yahoo! this morning:
Study says you're not grown up until you turn 26 Apparently, this comes from that being an age where an individual has finalized the transition from education to the working world, is financially independent, and is starting a family. Something else I'm behind the curve with.
Government to go after fast food places for enabling obesity I'll admit to not having read all the details here, but this seems out of place for the current administration. You'd think they'd be trying to set liability caps for burger joints or something. In any case, I'm picturing an ad campaign with Pudgy the Squirrel, talking about how eschewing acorns and eating discarded Big Macs has ruined his health.
Massachusetts to sell naming rights for state parks As if we needed any more proof that our state government is completely bereft of ideas, vision, or leadership. Some of you may remember a similar idea a few years back to sell naming rights to T stations. Considering there's no "Baldini's Pizza/ICA" stop on the Green Line or "Border Cafe/Harvard" stop on the Red Line, you can imagine how that worked out.
Corporate naming rights seems like it should be the next bubble to burst, if it hasn't already in these tight economic times.
