Adding to the downbeat sentiment were record-high oil prices, the slumping dollar and reports that a rescue of bond insurer Ambac has hit some roadblocks. (Read More)

LETS HOLD HANDS AND BRASS POLES

Strippers, river rats, sand sluts, soccer moms and people with just bad taste now have 46,000 square feet of shopping free of toilet water. Gucci doesn’t need your toilet water to make crops grow!

Fake Steve Jobs strikes again by dishing, scooping, spreading and splattering wet, dry, sloppy and smooth analogies about two enormous, clumsy, awkward elephants that don’t really like each other are supposed to mate while riding on skateboards Read More... (pie)

Looks like housing troubles have begun to ripple across the pond. Though the Bank of England plans future rate cuts they are going to be less drastic than what’s going on in the US. (pie)

The Halifax numbers follow those from the Nationwide which indicated a 0.1% month-on-month fall in January, the third successive monthly decline. Read More

Rating the best and worst ads of the Super Bowl.

The Piecap: In short this was by far the worst round of advertisements I have ever seen during the super bowl. If it wasn’t for the local comical back and fourth ads about Indian gaming i would have lost it. I would say my favo was either the Jack N The Box or Charlie Brown Coke ad.

Here’s a breakdown of who got their money’s worth and who should ask for a refund. Read More…
