Nowadays, no major chain misses the opportunity to brand you when you leave the store with a nice shopping bag that identifies you, at least until you get home, as a happy customer of their empire. But what do these bags say about you?

 So apparently, lots of guys are signing off text messages to each other with "x". As in "kisses". And when I say lots, I mean almost a quarter. While I think it's nice that guys aren't afraid of a little SMS (short message snogging) with each other, it might make some of their wives jealous if they found out that their guy friends are getting more textual love than they are. Still, it makes me wonder: if fully 75% of 18-24 year old men are "Metrotextuals" and 48% saying that the kiss is commonplace among their friends, what kind of messages are they sending to each other? (Also, did T-Mobile get our permission to do this research?)

 The product description reads "Never again will you have to choose between having sushi or having a USB memory drive--thanks to the USB storage sushi drive." Thank god! Now you can transfer your files from place to place on a small piece of sashimi, sushi, or even a bottle of saki.

[Editorial note: we were recently contacted by Wonderbra about this story because of some incorrect statements we made. For an update, we posted the full Katie Green story with a more accurate tale portrayal of Wonderbra.]

 You may not know who Katie Green is. Well, you are not alone. But Sony thought it would be clever to have her pose in her unmentionables for for their new press release showing how thin their new flat-screen TV is. The irony? Not too long ago she was fired by Wonderbra because she wasn't thin enough and refused to slim down. Of course, putting her in the TV pictures frankly makes it hard to see the TV, but I suppose that's one way of selling a £3000 ($4300) TV. You'd think just pointing out that it's the world's thinnest would be enough.
