Radio Commercials and Marriages...Well, Almost Marriages
In this week's TWIGI, we look at chicken, marriage laws, and fatigue.
I heard in a Publix radio commercial about their chicken being raised on vegetarian diets. I've been trying to find information about what this does for the little guys and I've found this on the Publix website, "All-natural chickens are humanely raised on carefully selected farms in flock houses with an abundance of fresh air, space and light. They enjoy a nutritious, all-vegetarian diet that is totally free of artificial ingredients, artificial coloring, preservatives, meat and animal by-products." But I still don't understand what the point is. They're happier before we fry them...Great.
But chickens are omnivorous. As Wikipedia tells us, "In the wild, chickens often scratch at the soil to search for seeds, insects and even larger animals such as lizards or young mice." I know any shmoe could come along and put some insanity up that came from his drug induces stupor, but I raise chickens and I've seen them do this. I've seen them eat roaches and mice. So some people are artificially controlling the diet of an animal? It may not be putting them in cages and feeding them hormones, but where's PETA? That's twigi!
In Mexico, they've proposed legal contracts penalizing the soon-to-be bride or groom if he or she changes their mind after the engagement is set. I have enough trouble with prenuptual agreements. I mean, if you don't trust the other person enough to assume you'll be married forever...then don't marry that person. But here we are talking about a lack of trust so strong that you're not positive that you'll even get to the marriage day. Also, what if I call off the engagement because I found out she's been sleeping with my 4 brothers, and my boss and his wife, and the bully who picked on me in high school, and my pet goat...but she won't agree to cancel the wedding? Do I have to pay? I know it could probably be written to say there are extinuating circumstances...but I wouldn't want to have to await someone else's judgement about whether or not I have a good enough reason to back out. That's just twigi!
In a related story, a Philippine woman is suing her ex-fiance. Seems he was just about to say "I do" when a woman stepped into the church proclaiming that the ceremony should stop. Seems someone high in the sky has been watching too many Hollywood romances. Anyway, the groom left his bride, hugged the mystery woman, and ran off together. Now she's suing Don Gone for damages. Now, hold the pumpkin, princess. Assuming you and/or your family has put a lot of money into this thing and you have every reason to want that money back. But damages? See, now I draw the line. Yes, it was traumatic. Yes, it was embarrassing. But your asking for $13,500 because he hurt your feelings.
Let's take this a small step further. High school boy takes high school girl to high school prom. Boy and girl have a good time but Other Girl shows up. Boy kisses Other Girl. Everyone sees. She's hurt...embarrassed...Does she get to sue for thousands of dollars?
What if she had left him? Could he sue?
Granted, if you find the right lawyer, you could sue for just about anything. It's about what the judge thinks, or jury depending I guess. So this may be nothing...But if she gets money? Everyone, beware who you date...saying "You're not the one for me" may cost you, and that's twigi!
The woman said she hasn't slept well since December when the incident occurred. And did you know that lack of sleep and poor sleep are the leading causes of fatigue? I heard a radio ad inform me of this. I was shocked! It was for some sleep aid, but I was so surprised that not sleeping or sleeping poorly would actually cause fatigue. Unbelievable! Or well...not.
This is another one of those mind-numbingly obvious statements that your brain actually throws up Duh all over your braincase. Any advertiser for any product who feels he or she needs to ask a question that insults the listeners with the question itself needs to be whipped with a cat-o-nine-tails. Advertisers, did you know that being whipped causes excruciating pain and visible scarring? Did you know asking questions where the answer is obvious is twigi? Now you do.
