Puppets, Peaches, and Pink: A Deadly Trifecta

GiggleSugar — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 01:00:00 -0700

I'm not sure if this is a music video or a four-minute ad for canned peaches, but there's enough pink in this video to make Barbie go blind.

Twin Peeps?

Looks like Pink and Bart Simpson share more in common than their outspoken and rebellious behavior. What do you think? Is Dopplegangr correct in thinking that these celebs look like the cartoon characters, puppets, or other worldly creatures and toys they've been paired with?

Say What? Daniel Pink on Left-Brain vs. Right-Brain Thinkers

TresSugar — Fri, 08 May 2009 13:00:00 -0700

"In many professions, what used to matter most were abilities associated with the left side of the brain: linear, sequential, spreadsheet kind of faculties. Those still matter, but they're not enough.

What's important now are the characteristics of the brain's right hemisphere: artistry, empathy, inventiveness, big-picture thinking. These skills have become first among equals in a whole range of business fields."

- Daniel H. Pink, a former speechwriter for Al Gore, on how right brainers will lead the way in the 21st century. Design and storytelling will be more important, he argues, than more traditionally left-brained activities like accounting and computer programming.

Atheists and Marriage

Tres Community — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 06:00:01 -0800

This post is written by user PinkNC in the TrèsSugar Community group Religions of the World.

Here’s the question: If you’re an atheist and you marry a Christian or any other religion, inside of a church, are you a hypocrite because you went through with the ceremony and vowed under a God you do not believe in?

There's lots of great stuff going on in our community - join it, check it out, share your posts or advice in the great groups and maybe we'll feature it here on TrèsSugar!

Code Pink Socks It To Bush With Shoe Protest

LibertySugar — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 09:30:41 -0800

It was only a matter of time before Bush's opponents at home took advantage of last weekend's shoe attack to highlight their frustration with the President. Code Pink, the infamous group of women for peace, gathered outside the White House and in Berkeley, CA yesterday to hold a "Farewell Kiss Shoe-In" for President Bush.

Just like the Iraqis, who gathered in the streets carrying shoes to show their solidarity with the jailed journalists, the women of Code Pink picked up, or untied, the latest symbol of dissent. One member explained the group's motivation:

"It's outrageous that al-Zaidi could get two years in prison for insulting George Bush, when Bush is directly responsible for the deaths of 1.5 million Iraqis and 4,200 U.S. troops, and 5 million displaced Iraqis. The one who should be in jail is George Bush, and he should be charged with war crimes."

While the shoe demonstration could be seen as a little predictable, perhaps Bush only invited it when he said about his attacker, "I don't know what the guy's cause is." With banners dedicating shoes to the "widows, orphans and those killed in Iraq," Code Pink offered Bush an explanation. Check out the pics from the White House protest.

Cute Alert: Pink Dolphins Exist!

GiggleSugar — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 13:00:00 -0800

For those of you still holding out for the existence of unicorns and winged fairies - there is hope after all! A pink dolphin (actually an albino) was spotted last year in a lake in Louisiana. Boatman Erik Rue found it and has been studying it ever since. "I just happened to see a little pod of dolphins," he said, "and I noticed one that was a little lighter." (I never knew that groups of dolphins were called "pods." Adorable. And is it just me, or does Pinky up there seem to know he's special?) Click here to read more and to see a closeup pic of Pinky!

Love It or Leave It: The Little Pink Card

DearSugar — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 10:00:00 -0800

I just came across this handy dandy tool that could make life a whole lot easier for the men out there! It's called The Little Pink Card, and it's a one-stop place for women to jot down important dates (anniversary and birthday) and her likes (favorite flower, designer, store, candy, etc.) so the man in her life knows exactly what to buy her, and when. It's designed to fit right inside his wallet for easy access! So what do you think - do you love this pretty cheat-sheet, or would you leave it?

Oh Snap! The Pink Lady Sets Sail Solo

TresSugar — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 14:00:00 -0700

Jessica Watson, 16, set sail yesterday from Sydney Harbor hoping to become the youngest person to sail around the world solo, non-stop, and without any assistance. If all goes according to plan, she will spend 230 days at sea on her yacht, named Ella's Pink Lady, and travel 23,000 nautical miles. Good luck, Jessica!

Très Bizarre: Rammstein Box Set, Now With Bonus Dildos!

TresSugar — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 01:00:00 -0700

Did I mention that the dildos are purportedly molded from each band member's well . . . member?

I love the over-the-top German industrial metal band Rammstein the way I love over-the-top band Abba - with a serious dose of irony. You can never tell if their shtick is for real or tongue-in-cheek, but either way, I like to dork out to them on my way to work.

Well, it turns out that their new box set Liebe Ist Für Alle Da comes with a metal case filled with handcuffs, lube and six pink dildos that are supposed to "reflect the sizes of the six members’ wienerwursts" as Daily Swarm put it. Ha! I guess this is one way of getting close to the musicians you love! Is this better than a personally autographed photo?
