POPSReader's Digest plans to file for bankruptcy
"The Chapter 11 filing will apply only to the company's U.S. businesses. Its operations in Canada, Latin America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia-New Zealand will not be affected. "Restructuring our debt will enable us to have the financial flexibility to move ahead with our growth and transformational initiatives," said President and Chief Executive Officer Mary Berner, in a statement." The Pleasantville, N.Y., media company said the bankruptcy would help facilitate an agreement with lenders to exchange a portion of its $1.6 billion in senior secured debt for equity, and transfer company ownership to the lender group. --- "The agreement, which is subject to court approval, also includes a commitment from some members of the senior lender group to provide $150 million in debtor-in-possession financing, which would help fund operations during the reorganization. The pre-arranged plan proposes to cut debt by 75 percent to $550 million, from the current $2.2 billion."

POPSDunkin Donuts Goes Completely Insane There are certain times in history that make us look back and wonder, "how is it possible that civilized people behaved in such craven and irrational ways?" The Salem Witch trials, for instance. The present moment will likely be looked back on as another such time. Case in point: Dunkin Donuts just pulled an ad in which TV cook Rachael Ray wore a scarf that somewhat resembled a traditional Palestinian head dress -- because imbalanced bloggers accused the company of promoting terrorism. I'll skip speculating on the sheer pandering nuttiness of Dunkin's decision, to point out merely what a dumb business decision this was. It's a global company. There are 1.3 billion Muslims out there. The math is simple.

POPSChristian Dior vs Dunkin Donuts What an odd pairing. High fashion vs fried cake? Recently both have been seen to cave to PC fringe groups over messages they sent. Dunkin Donuts with its "terrorist" scarved spokesperson, Rachael Ray and now this, Sharon Stone making a comment about "karma" in relationship with the recent earthquakes in China. Both companies acted irresponsibly over silly, non-issues.

POPSOr Maybe it WAS just a scarf! Sunk to new lows... Then again, if you are really rejected from Dunkin' Doughnuts by Rachel Ray in a scarf, then maybe you are just that stupid

POPSWar on Terror Won by Right Wing Bloggers America sleeps easier as we are saved from terrorist scarves . Score one for freedom, liberty, and inane dumbasses with way too much time on their hands. Now, if we can just get them to all stop being chickenhawks and go to Iraq.

POPSTerrorist Racheal: America's Crisis Continues! First, the news came out that Food Network's Racheal Ray was a terrorist , wearing a keffiyeh around her neck to show her solidarity with Palestinian terr'ists -- in a Dunkin' Donuts ad. Yikes! Then Michelle Malkin announced she was considering a donut boycott. Now, Dunkin' Donuts is covering up for Racheal's sympathy for evildoers. But sharp wingnut Jon at Exurban League isn't buying it:

POPSSize Matters in Magazine Covers - Newsweek propagandizes a Gender message through Rachael Ray If Racheael Ray Gets Newsweek's Cover ("Women & Power, Oct 15, 2007), with her hands on her revealed breasts with that Ray-esque expression that screams - "can you *believe* how adorable I am? No? Me either!!!" - in the front, a second Arianna Huffington 75% RR's size, and the least "photogenic" African-American Mayor Shirley Franklin on 75% of Huffington's size, what do we as men and women REALLY think of gender roles. I have never seen a more- women, economic times are tough, unemploymen is around the corner--therefore: women-back-to-the-kitchen propagandized op in my life.

POPSRachael Ray Has New Food Network Series I probably will like this because I enjoyed the one of her traveling around the US, but I think this might be overkill by continuing with her "30 Minute Meals". There's only so much Emeril you can watch and the same thing is happening with Paula Deen.

POPSRachel Ray's answer to reality TV: Think you can cook? I guess i shouldn't be surprised that this show will exist-- it seems that by the end of the year reality tv contests will cover every genre that exists in the world. I think Rachel Ray has totally overexposed herself-- she was cute and quirky on her 30 minute meal program, but now i find her simply ANNOYING

POPSRachel Ray launches her own extra virgin olive oil After being a fan for many years of her cooking show on the foodnetwork, i was really curious about Rachel Ray's 'EVOO' -- aside from it being a bit pricey, i used it this weekend and i think it's DELICIOUS! Good EVOO makes all the difference-- and this one rocked!
