Big Boy, WKQI-FM Darken Radio with Britney Suicide Watch Contest
This Week’s Top Scrooge - October 5, 2007
By ALEXANDER
TheScroogeReport.com
Poking fun at people can be fun. How many of us have wisecracked about Britney Spears? Maybe you were not the originator of a Britney "observation", but you're certainly up on her recent trials and join the finger pointing with seemingly the entire nation about her weak parenting skills.
How can we not help but shake our head as we are deluged every day with her tabloid headline making actions?
That said, DJ Big Boy and radio station WKQI-FM, better known as Channel 95.5 in Detroit displayed gross insensitivity when they announced a "Britney Suicide Watch" contest Tuesday night...

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: Romancing the U.S.
This Week's Top Scrooge - September 28, 2007
By ALEXANDER
TheScroogeReport.com
In Iran, people are executed for consensual sex. Amnesty International also reports that women are frequently jailed, flogged, and stoned simply for speaking out about women's rights.
The human rights watchdog group also reports that Iran continues to have one of the highest rates of executions in the world, including the stonings and executions of child "offenders"...those under the age of 18 accused of alleged crimes.
Yet, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad came to America earlier this week, sounding like a women's rights activist and overall compassionate nice guy. His apparent new-found love and respect for women is matched only by his joy at reporting to the world that his country does not have any homosexuals.
Sadly, like the flaming alcoholic that proclaims he only has a few drinks every now and then, Ahmadinejad denies that his regime habitually abuses women. Oh, and one other thing, his denial of homosexuals in his country is a weak attempt at covering up the fact that he executes them at quite a clip. Reports are that as many as 400 people have been killed for false charges of rape and abuse, when indeed the sex was consensual...

Bruce Springsteen: Back in Familiar Territory
ASBURY PARK, N.J. (AP) - Bruce Springsteen was back in familiar territory with a rehearsal show Monday night in the city that has become known worldwide through his songs.
The show at the oceanfront Convention Hall was the first of two benefit rehearsals for Springsteen and the E Street Band, who are about to embark on their first tour together in four years. They will also play Tuesday night, and a third rehearsal concert has been added for Friday at Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford.
Springsteen and the band opened up with "Radio Nowhere," a song from their new album.
"We're going to run through some things, some new things, some old things. There may be some mistakes—but I doubt it," Springsteen told the crowd.

Betray Us: MoveOn.org or HateOn.orgy?
TheScroogeReport investigates HateOn.orgy on charges of being intelligent and patriotic. The investigation begins with an excerpt from the internet-chatroom-success-story group’s “About Us” page.
This Week’s Top Scrooge - September 14, 2007
By ALEXANDER
What is HateOn.orgy (MoveOn.org)?
The HateOn dysfunctional family of quasi-organizations brings real Americans (or Americans that love to really hate) back into the political process, i.e.; screaming in meetings of Congress, name calling to the nth degree, and general immature behavior. With over 3.3 million kool-aid drinking members across America – from carpenters to stay-at-home moms to business leaders (and from geeky bloggers to stay-on-the-couch dads to spoiled rich people) – we work together to realize the digressive promise of our country. HateOn is a “service” – a way for stressed-out but concerned global units to find their political voice in a system dominated by successful people and the Clinton News Network.

Blingo: Searching Your Way to Riches
Blingo is a search engine with a twist. Each search on Blingo is also a chance to win a prize. And guess what? It's powered by Google so you get the same high-powered searches. I'm not into gambling, but this doesn't really smack of it at all. No personal information is given other than your email address. I recommend bookmarking the search page and use it every time.
This from AP:
TOO TRUE TO BE GOOD?
A handful of companies, however, are really giving users something for doing nothing by combining two of the most common reasons people use the Internet: searching and winning.
Exhibit A is the search engine Blingo.com, a site that recently entered Nielsen's list of the top ten visited gambling and sweepstakes destinations. Here you'll find the same search results that you'd get using Google, but with one key difference: Users who search at the times closest to secret, randomly selected milliseconds designated by the site each day will instantly earn a prize -- anything from a $5 gift certificate to a car to $20,000 in cash.
Better yet, it requires no personal information. All it takes is a mailing address -- after all, if you win something, they've got to have a place to send the goods, right?
"We're the white hat of this industry," says the company's founder, Frank Anderson of San Francisco.
Anderson, who previously helped launched the internet company iAmaze, came up with the idea to bring a prize element to search engines in 2004. Unlike most give-away sites, all Blingo's revenue comes from the advertisers who pay for the Google-generated small ads on the top and bottom of the pages.
The income, Anderson explained, is split between his company and Google (many sites, including AOL, use Google's search engines and split profits in the same way. Similar prize-offering search sites, like iWon.com, partner with other search engines in a similar manner).
In Blingo's case, a percentage of the company's profit share goes toward giveaways and prize money.
To date, he says, the site has given away close to a $1 million.
So, let's give it a whirl! Go to Blingo.com now!

Leona Helmsley Earns This Week’s Top Scrooge Posthumously
"But God said to him, 'You fool! You will die this very night. Then who will get it all?
This Week’s Top Scrooge - August 31, 2007
By ALEXANDER
TheScroogeReport.com '
How many church sermons will include the story of Leona Helmsley and her dog, Trouble, this Sunday?
In case you missed it, Trouble...her pet...inherited $12 million. And for good measure, Trouble’s "fortunes" won’t be over even after her life ends. “I direct that when my dog, Trouble, dies, her remains shall be buried next to my remains in the Helmsley mausoleum,” she ordered. And she left another $3 million to ensure that final resting place is well maintained, including money for a yearly wash or steam-cleaning.
Twelve million dollars. That's two more million dollars than two of her grandchildren are getting combined ($5 million each) and $12 million more than her other two grandchildren are getting...because they are getting zippo as in nada, nothing, and zilch.
I don't make this stuff up, folks. Read the online story at CityNews.ca if you want.
If this is not a modern day parable to be told to congregations everywhere on Sunday, then I don't know what is.

Fat Is King in Mississippi, West Virginia, Alabama
WASHINGTON - Loosen the belt buckle another notch: Obesity rates continued to climb in 31 states last year, and no state showed a decline.

Colorado continued its reign as the leanest state in the nation with an obesity rate projected at 17.6 percent.
