You can really tell that the holiday season is coming by the commercials you see on TV. I'm not just talking about the Norelco sled in the snow or the K-Mart layaway pitches. I'm talking about the high end, classy jewelry and perfume commercials that are there to give guys ideas about what to give their spouses.
One of the most beautiful perfume ads I've seen in a long time has been getting a lot of exposure lately. It's for Chanel N°5 with the French actress Audrey Tautou. You probably have seen it, but might remember it more if I tell you about the music. It's a very soulful, bluesy rendition of "I'm A Fool To Want You."
A reality show stunt got way out of hand near Montevideo,
Uruguay on Friday. Hundreds of residents of one town were pulling on a train as part of a reality television show
fundraiser for a local hospital. They were tugging at an engine and two attached cars when several contestants fell and
were run over by the train. Seven were killed.
