MILWAUKEE (AP) -- PepsiCo Inc. is facing criticism for an iPhone application that promises to help men "score" with two dozen stereotypes of women by giving users pickup lines and a scoreboard to keep track of their conquests.An apology by the company - which is using the app "Amp up before you score" to market its Amp energy drink - is igniting more online criticism. But the company is sticking by the app.[...]The application lets users select from stereotypes of women, like the "foreign exchange student" or "nerd" or "cougar." Then it offers possible pickup lines like, "Wasn't I in Space Academy with you?" for the nerd.It also offers other hints, like links to world news for the foreign exchange student. For the "rebound girl" - who has just broken up with her boyfriend - it offers maps of local ice cream shops.The app then lets users add women - along with name, date of the conquest and comments - to the user's "brag list," which can be shared online on sites like Facebook and Twitter.[...]The brouhaha generated new downloads on Wednesday and hundreds of new comments from users of the program, negative, positive and neutral."This is a great app for men, horrible app for women," wrote one user, who gave it a top rating of five stars. "Only download this app if you have been around the block a few times with different types of women."

I don't have an insidious bone in my body. Well, that's not true.
Your mouth says, "Shields up!", but your eyes say, 'A hull breach is imminent."

Heart-stopping CCTV footage of a six-month-old baby's miraculous escape when his pram was struck by a suburban train in Melbourne's east has been released.The baby's pram rolled off a platform at Ashburton railway station about 4pm (AEDT) yesterday and into the path of an oncoming train that pushed it some 30 metres along the track.Emergency services personnel who rushed to the station found the six-month-old being cared for by his distraught mother, said Ambulance Victoria paramedic Jon Wright."Fortunately the train was slowing as it pulled into the station," Mr Wright said in a statement."The baby received a bump to his head and was distressed when we arrived."Luckily he was strapped into his pram at the time, which probably saved his life."The boy was taken to the Royal Children's Hospital in a stable condition.Connex spokesman John Rees praised the male train driver's quick response."The train driver would have been extremely shocked by this incident," he told ABC Radio."He's used his training well and he has applied the brakes as hard as possible.
Especially if he was somehow able to not only derail the train, but get it back on to the rails wihout mass casualties

Boasting muscles a superhero would be proud of, Matthias Schlitte has good reason to be considered the toast of the German arm wrestling circuit.But a closer look reveals that only ONE of his arms is bestowed with bulging biceps.The 22-year-old’s whopping right forearm measures nearly 18in – and is in stark contrast to his puny left arm.Despite its odd appearance, Matthias’s Popeye-esque limb has strong-armed him into first place in a host of competitions, including the Iron Curtain Armwars in Blackburn and the German Championships in Haltern, this year.Matthias, who has been involved in the sport since he was 16, said: ‘Many people’s first association with arm wrestling is a beer-soaked bar-table and drunken sailors – which is completely wrong.’Of how he began his career, he explains: ‘In 2004, a little bar in Haldensleben was looking for the strongest arm wrestler in the region – my first tournament and the beginning of my career.‘Without any knowledge or practise I competed in the amateur-class up to 90kg – being only 16 years old with a weight of 65kg.‘At first, older and more experienced fighters smiled at me for being so light-weighted, but after winning the contest the opinions changed immediately.’
I was surprised that he was a lefty.
Target has pulled a Halloween costume that some in the Latino community found offensive.The costume showed a space alien carrying a green card and included a prison-like jumpsuit with "Illegal Alien" stamped across the front.When word of the costume got out, several Latino groups publicly complained that the costume was insensitive.Executive director of the Coalition for Human Immigrant Rights, Angelica Salas, called the costume "distasteful, mean-spirited, and ignorant..." Lizette Olmos, national communications director for the League of United Latin American Citizens, referred to the costume as "really disturbing"Target says that the costume was never intended to be on the website and blames the mistake on human error during data entry.UPDATE: Anti-immigration groups are now using the costume as a rallying cry, and the head of ALIPAC will be conducting interviews next week wearing the costume. More details here*.
Really, that shouldn't be racially insensitive. Illegal aliens can come from anywhere and don't have to be latino at all. The fact that they'd be upset about it does more to further the stereotype than the costume itself.
