Neat, I guess. Maybe it's my advanced age, but when I see things like this, or someone selling a 30 million dollar home, or any other extravaganza where millions are spent, I think of the homeless families, the out of work families or the "on the edge" families, and wonder if perhaps this obscene display of wealth could not be put to better use.
Hey, today is Mothers Day. Let's get EVERYONE to go to Walmart, or somewhere, buy just one potted plant, take it to any nursing home, and present it to some Mother, who has no one. Do that, and my guess is you repeat the gesture, and brighten the lives of a few more............
All 800 mothers of Olympic and Paralympic athletes will get $1,000 Visa reward cards to help offset the cost of traveling to London for the upcoming Summer Olympics. The cards are a gift from Proctor & Gamble and part of the company's "Thank You, Mom" campaign.
The $1,000 payments are part of P&G's big ad push; you know, the one with the commercial that has you trying not to cry while you're watching the commercials on "American Idol."
P&G will set up a private "home away from home" in London where athletes can relax with their families, brush their teeth with Crest and swap out Duracell batteries in their camcorders. Don't try to bring in Neutrogena products, though. That could get you Tommie Smith'd from London.
