Well, dammit Home Depot is implicated as well.

Representatives of Home Depot and several other companies that Florida "Family" has claimed to have influenced say that they only purchased one ad. FFA seems to be including any company that advertised on earlier episodes and not the most recent.

Lowe's, on the other hand, pulled a campaign.

Hec, I think that's Shrift.

Winner winner, chicken dinner!

Who said this?

I don't think I could bear to be murdered and cannibalized by someone in a beret.

Oh, oh...Calli?

My friend Stephany recently wrote a great & witty blog post about Campbell's continuing use of Bisphenol A in the lining of thier soup cans. [link]

That Harvard study has been so miserably misreported by just about everyone. High levels of BPA in urine means that BPA is excreted and is therefore much less potentially harmful than was previously reported. (Which is the exact opposite of what just about every news outlet in the universe has said.)

Here's a very good writeup of the study and the wretched media coverage - [link]

Oh, oh...Calli?

Nope.

What do you mean by linear? And what do you get from categories different from tags (which I see that Pinterest also has)?

Pretty much what Sue said - the ability to have one pinterest account with multiple categories that I can then cross tag and group as much as my twisty mind wants is what appeals the most.

I don't like the 'follow' stuff as much, but I like being able to find where I put something.

In reading the articles about the "All-American Muslims" show, it looks like all of them are taking the list from the FFA website which seems a bit suspect. I'm wondering how many of the companies on that list actually had made commitments to purchase a series of ads and actually cancelled that commitment - which is what Lowe's did. I know that many times, particularly for a new show, companies will buy an ad or two and see how it goes before making a commitment - which is what Home Depot is saying it did. The problem is that we'll never know if those companies didn't buy more ads because of the FFA campaign or because the ROI didn't justify it.

x-post but Ginger was more concise than me.

you would need a tumblr for every seperate fascination

Which I do have. But I'm really adamant about separation of personalities. You don't want the crossover, no you don't.

I don't think Pinterest is for me. Tumblr is fine for stuff I'm willing to share with other people, and I have Evernote and Springboard for stuff I clip for my own purposes. And I certainly don't have the bandwidth to follow people somewhere else.

I do wish I were organised enough for Polyvore, though. I'm just not thorough enough to do it justice.

What no more guesses for cannibalized and berets?

That quote is gold.

Teppy?
