Family Guy used Peter, Brian and Stewie to promote Windows 7! Note they don't use the same people or scenes to sell their product. Maybe that is why people are confused with the licensing agreement! via Mashable and YouTube

The chances are: pretty slim despite of: "Among general populations, the chances of having twins in the 21st century are about 3 in 100, or about 3%. Your chances are better than ever; researchers have recorded an increase of nearly 60% since the early 1980s. The most recent statistics, part of a 2004 study by the National Center for Health Statistics show that twins represented 32.21 of every 1,000 births." via About.com

QoD: Storytelling

People have forgotten how to tell a story. Stories don't have a middle or an end any more. They usually have a beginning that never stops beginning.

RIP all your needs 2 Wal-Mart?

Flickr photo by Uploaded on October 4, 2009 by vmiramontes Since I live in Canada, I don't need to say that the nearest Wal-Mart will not be selling or even put online for sale for funeral services anytime soon. In the US, Wal-Mart is now an one stop shop for almost all of the stuff you need for your needs. You can go at anytime of the day or night. Starting from when you're a baby to when you get frail and forbid we don't want to say more..... I think this is a tad too much convenience and becoming more impersonal by the moment!

Legendary photographer, Annie Leibovitz, took photographs of the first family and among many more photographs of famous people over the years. Unfortunately, these past few sets of photos were harshly or unfairly criticized due to her financial stains. Over the years, I saw her works, I do believe her works are works of progress and are of reflection of change. After decades of photographing different personalities, the scenery do change, styles, equipments changes do reflect how people take their photographs. Could it be, the subject becomes more of a reflection more than the photographer herself? Is the subject demanding for better photographs of themselves too?

Barbie's premiere: Black Theme

midori0e — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 15:20:51 -0700

Barbie released a series of Barbies featuring more authentic-looking facial features such as fuller lips, a wider nose, more distinctive cheek bones and curlier hair. So In Style™ (S.I.S™) was developed and inspired by Barbie® designer of 12 years, Stacey McBride-Irby, an African-American mother of two who wanted to create a line of dolls more reflective of her daughter and community.
The So In Style™ line features Grace™, Kara™ and Trichelle™ dolls, three best friends who are all about fashion, fun and friendship. Each of the dolls features its own unique personality and style and reflects one of three varying skin tones.

One of the Barbie collection that I noted and find: Byron Lars Ayako Jones™ Barbie® Doll epitomizes glamour, multiculturalism, and cutting edge couture. Wearing a sleek kimono−style top with beautiful floral detailing, cropped skinny jeans, and sky high heels, this girl knows how to work it. Geisha−inspired face paint and a dramatic ‘do complete the doll’s look.

Barbie has been celebrating their 50 years this year, they have been of people's consciousness for 5 decades, in good and bad times. Barbie keeps aside with boys toys racing cars if you have a brother. Mom can't live without a Barbie! I had a Barbie! What are your Barbie's memories?
