Yeah, it is two days after Christmas, but like Erin Murphy I am in LA and it doesn’t snow here. I so miss snow and that instant snow is way too cool not to have. Whether you live in LA or Toronto, it is dog pee-free snow and not cold enough to melt…but sadly not hard enough to throw an ice ball at someone or sleigh down a hill with. But either way it is still freaking cool!!!
Sprint PCS dropped over 1,200 customers for over calling their customer service department according to News4Jax. Sprint is not cutting off the people that call 1 or 2 times a month, but the 1,200 people who called over 40 – 50 times a month. Sprint feels these people are not happy, so why not just get rid of them. They said, "Rather than continue to operate in a situation that was unsatisfactory for Sprint and our subscribers, we chose to terminate our relationship with those customers to allow them to pursue other options." Those people that were dropped were sent a letter last month letting them know. My question is, if you drop people like that aren't they going to call and complain even more that they were dropped?
And BTW good for Sprint for doing that! Those people need to get lives and stop their complaining so much. Now I have to go call my cable company for the 50th time to find out when they are going to fix my cable.
Sick of fumbling with those old-fashioned prophylactics? Well have no fear, the spray-on condom is here! Jan Vinzenz Krause from the Institute for Condom Consultancy and his team are developing the ultimate in comfortable protection for men, Reuters reports. No more strewn condom wrappers or pesky imprints in your wallet … the condom of the future will be spray-as-you-go. Krause’s invention consists of a can-type device that sprays latex from all sides. "We call it the ‘360 degree procedure’ — once round and from top to bottom. It’s a bit like a car wash." Krause says the plan is to have the product work in about 5 seconds, making it especially convenient for those heat-of-the-moment situations where time is of the essence. He says the product will be extra-effective since it will be custom fit and won’t slip. However, before the new condom can be sold in shops, the company has to ensure that the latex gets evenly spread when it’s sprayed. Mr Krause hopes the hi-tech condom, which will be available in different strengths and colors, will on the market by 2008. Krause said he had hit upon the idea when considering the difficulties some people faced using condoms, and drew inspiration from spray-on plasters now used in medicine.

It’s never too long before the latest craze to sweep America makes its way to the UK but most would wish this one really hadn’t. Celebrity wigs designed for babies up to nine months old and are set to hit the market, to the outrage of children’s charities. There’s a Bob Marley style dreadlock wig, a Samuel L Jackson afro as seen in movie Pulp Fiction and a Donald Trump comb-over – perhaps for that mature look. For the girls there’s flowing pink locks based on singer Lil’ Kim. But Michelle Elliott of Kidscape said as well as unnecessary the wigs could be dangerous. "This is ridiculous. Any parent who buys one of these wigs for their child needs their head examining." Wigs are incredibly uncomfortable for a start. Babies are wonderful but dirty little things and the last thing they need is a wig." The wigs are manufactured by California-based firm BabyToupee and cost £14. The firm’s website says its aim to "show that while parenting can be a great responsibility, it can also be a source of endless amusement." Founder Graham Farrar said: "Having a baby doesn’t mean you have to stop having fun or do everything by the book. We don’ take ourselves or our products too seriously."
