Imperfect Spokesman

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. But I'm not going to move just so I can be your neighbor old man.

This morning as I walked down Lexington avenue en route to the subway, I saw a homeless man passed out on the hard concrete of the sidewalk. He looked rigid and lifeless. Right next to him, he had a half-full bottle of vitamin water. Gazing upon this sad scene I couldn't help but think: this would probably be the last image the people over at vitamin water inc. would choose as a snapshot for their ad campaign. I don't remember the color of the bottle, so I can't be certain which variety it was, but nearly all of the drink names would appear misleading in this context, be it revive, endurance, balance, rescue etc. So much for the invigorating powers of that nutrient-enriched beverage, huh Vitamin Water?

While you guys celebrate memorial day this weekend, I'm going to continue my campaining for the new Mammarial day holiday, because women who breast feed deserve a little recognition too.

Enjoy your respective Barbecues.
