Whitemen toothpaste, which is most frequently seen in its miniature form in hotels across Taiwan, was sued by Darlie (formerly Darkie) Toothpaste for the similarity in brand name and appearance of the packaging. However, after 10 years of litigation, Taiwan's Supreme Administrative Court in 2010 ruled in favor of Whitemen concluding that consumers "would not confuse white with black."

This is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper...

I think it's making us lazy.

Remember when you were a kid and you knew all your friends phone numbers? I can hardly remember my wife's phone number; let alone kids, cousins or friends numbers. And why learn something in school when you can "Google it".

I had to "ground" my daughter a couple of weeks ago. Kinda hard to do when she's been locked in the house since March.

All I had to take away from her was her phone.

"But how can I talk to my friends?"

"Use the land line. Dial their number like I did when I was your age."

"I don't know their numbers."

 

I cannot begin to imagine the mental torture that the inmates went through:

Two former Oklahoma jail employees and their supervisor face misdemeanor cruelty charges after investigators found they forced inmates to stand handcuffed for hours and listen to the children's song “Baby Shark" on repeat, a prosecutor said Monday.

The Agony Booth

 

I'll pass on clicking the video's for Baby Sharks and Gummy Bears, thank you. I don't want to end up in the "Agony Booth" either.

Apparently you don’t have grandchildren who have smart phones or tablets. Periodically playing it all day long while visiting. Soon you’ll find a way to block it out.

Unfortunately, Baby Shark is a major earworm. It's been on repeat playing in my head all morning since I posted the video.

Can't turn it off.

My daughter plays the kid's stuff enough. When they visit they're not allowed to annoy grandpa or grandma. But yes, they're not old enough for cell phones. Their screen time is controlled (limited) to inside the house. They don't have tablets. Oldest is 8 and we're expecting #5 in six months.

The FBI considered playing THIS over and over outside David Koresh's Branch Davidian Compound in Waco Texas:

"Achy Breaky Heart"

You can tell the world you never was my girl
You can burn my clothes when I'm gone
Or you can tell your friends just what a fool I've been
And laugh and joke about me on the phone

You can tell my arms go back to the farm
You can tell my feet to hit the floor
Or you can tell my lips to tell my fingertips
They won't be reaching out for you no more

But don't tell my heart my achy breaky heart
I just don't think it'd understand
And if you tell my heart my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man

You can tell your ma I moved to Arkansas
You can tell your dog to bite my leg
Or tell your brother Cliff, whose fist can tear my lip
He never really liked me anyway

Or tell your Aunt Louise tell anything you please
Myself already knows I'm not okay
Or you can tell my eyes to watch out for my mind
It might be walking out on me today

But don't tell my heart my achy breaky heart
I just don't think he'd understand
And if you tell my heart my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man

Don't tell my heart my achy breaky heart...
I just don't think he'd understand
And if you tell my heart my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man

Don't tell my heart my achy breaky heart...
I just don't think he'd understand
And if you tell my heart my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man

He thought it was a joke at first: "Once they even played the Bee Gees' Saturday Night Fever soundtrack all night long. 'Hardly,' I thought,'‘enough to break anyone I knew.' ... 'We'll talk. We'll all talk,' I said in half jest when they played it, 'just turn that crap off please!'"

But as the torture began to stretch on, it became unbearable. "It was terrible, there was no light at all, it was so tight, so hot, sitting in there. You can't see or do anything, nothing to see, nobody to talk to, nothing to do but bang the walls. And then to have the music blasting ... I met several people who'd been in there ... [who were] ready to tell the Americans anything they wanted, whether it was true or not."

 

Unfortunately, Baby Shark is a major earworm. It's been on repeat playing in my head all morning since I posted the video.

Can't turn it off.

Fortunately, Baby Shark wasn’t a thing when my children were young. But, I had to deal with Barney!
