Puma saying goodbye to shoe boxes
The sporting goods maker is launching eco-friendly packaging, cardboard frames wrapped in reusable bags, for its sneakers next year to reduce its carbon footprint.
Puma Chief Executive Jochen Zeitz told Reuters the company would not save money with the new packaging. What?! Fire this guy!
"To begin with, we don't expect to save costs with this. It may even have a negative impact in the short term. But over the long run, there should be cost savings," he said.
"Sustainability is not only absolutely necessary considering the situation our planet is in, we as companies are also overdue to take responsibility," Zeitz said. "We can't wait for governments. Companies have to lead the way and we want to be among the leaders."
I tell ya, hippies. They are really not aware, are they?
Justin Bieber glad he's not a 'corny' Disney star.
The teen pop sensation says the hip-hop community has embraced him because he didn't go the 'Disney route"I think it's because I didn't go through the Disney route. I didn't go corny, but, like, at the same time I've been cool and collected."
But there is one former Disney child star Bieber is inspired by -- ex-Mouseketeer Justin Timberlake.
He adds, "Well, basically I look at people like Usher and Justin Timberlake and how they went from being a child star to blowing up and doing what they're doing now. I look up and see what they do and see that's what I want to do ... and things that I want to do that's different and things that I wanna do that's working for them.
Umm... double standard?
Justin T. was a "corny" Disney star, as were a majority of people this dummy probably admires. Have you heard his crap? It's worse than Disney, trust me.
Now, more than four years after his son died in a Humvee accident in Iraq, Albert Snyder's legal battle is headed to the Supreme Court. And his tireless efforts have drawn support from across the country, including a wave of donations after he was ordered to pay the church's court costs — a $16,500 judgment that the congregation plans to use for more protests.
Lance Cpl. Matthew A. Snyder, 20, was not gay. But for the Westboro church, any dead soldier is fair game. Pastor Fred Phelps oversees a congregation of 70 to 80 members — mostly his children and grandchildren. They consider themselves prophets, and they insist the nation is doomed. Talk about boiling blood. These people are a whole new level of crazy!
Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly pledged to pay the entire $16,510, and the American Legion has raised more than $20,000. Every day, hundreds of envelopes arrive at Summers' office. Snyder plans to use the money for other court fees and to donate what's left over to veterans.
The judge who ruled in favor of these wackos should have the same treatment at his funeral. Seriously, a funeral is no place for First Amendment Rights to be exercised, and anyone who thinks otherwise needs to be taken down a notch or 20. What really gets me about this, tho is this "church's" use of God in their cause. It's really irritating that people like this use the God-of-convenience for whatever they feel will justify their cause. I am so weary of anyone who uses the God-of-convenience for whatever. I think God is pretty clear on a lot of issues, and those who want to muddle His meaning for their own cause are asking for a judgement that I can't even imagine.
