by: DariaDiGiovanni
As I discussed in Part One, while it’s easy to blame the internet for the plethora of dishonest players, the truth is, it is simply another vehicle through which to play the serial dating game. In the 21st Century, technology has provided an efficient method for both the upstanding and not-so-upstanding among us to either [...]

Satire from The Endive…
America’s obese youth, fed-up by the First Lady’s one-woman campaign against youthful fatness, have launched a campaign of their own.

NBA All-Star Weekend!! (sarcasm intended)
On February 10, 2010 at 6:00 am
Who really cares that the NBA All-Star weekend is coming up?
That’s the real question at hand. Who cares about the NBA at all until the very last playoff series?

The Ladies Room: An Epic Romance
On February 9, 2010 at 9:40 am
That fateful fake holiday is rapidly approaching. Valentine’s Day. The day where the nation divides into lovers or haters. There’s no room for indifference. Battle lines are drawn.
It’s hard to believe that we’re caught trying to make the most of a made-up holiday. People don’t get nearly as uptight about Arbor Day. I know there’s [...]
A Look at the Super Blah Ads
On at 9:19 am
For two years running, the game has been more exciting than the ads. Good for football, not so good for those of us who watch for the ads.
As a hardworking humorist (check out my web site, The Endive (Cha-ching!)) who has worked in advertising, I don’t have much patience for a company who blows a [...]
Keep the Change
On February 8, 2010 at 9:32 am
It’s David versus Goliath, new millennium style.
On February 2, Rhiannon O’Donnabhain, former man, coast guard sailor and construction worker won a potentially historic case against the IRS. In 2001, she claimed $5000 worth of medical deductions from $25,000 in costs incurred during a sex-change operation. The IRS initially allowed the claim and then reneged, initiating [...]

Author’s Note: I originally wrote this piece about a year ago, but with all of the controversy surrounding the new series, Jersey Shore, it seemed like a timely addition to the conversation. In full disclosure, I’ve never actually seen MTV’s reality television series, although I’ve read many differing critiques.
Surprise! Most Americans of Italian descent speak [...]

Who takes home the Lombardi Trophy?
Everyone talks about what the Super Bowl win will mean for different parties involved. A Saints victory would be tremendous for the city of New Orleans. A Colts victory will solidify Peyton Manning’s place in history as one of, if not the best quarterback to ever play [...]
Hit the Gas! Or Don’t…
On February 3, 2010 at 8:46 am
Toyota’s in a bit of a pickle.
CNN even compared the crisis Toyota is facing to the Tylenol poisoning crisis of 1982 – a stable of all my public relations classes in college. Toyota took the high ground in reacting fairly quickly and doing an extremely wide-reaching recall.
It looks as though Toyota may not have caught [...]
