Just between friends with a MultiCultClassics Monologue…
• A new study shows obesity may be linked to friendship. That is, if you’ve got fat friends, you may become fat too. The researchers believe the reason is “the spread of norms from people to people. People change their minds about what constitutes an acceptable body mass index” based on the size of their close pals. It’s also probably linked to people thinking that Ronald McDonald is their friend.
• Walt Disney Company became the first major Hollywood studio to ban the depiction of smoking, proclaiming there would be no puffing in its family-targeted, Disney-labeled films. Plus, the company will “discourage” smoking in movies distributed by Touchstone and Miramax. However, per their contract agreements, Mickey Mouse and the Little Mermaid will still be permitted to smoke in their trailers during filming.
• A Manhattan accountant requested two new credit cards from ExxonMobil when his old card was expiring. ExxonMobil wound up sending the guy 2,000 cards. The man’s credit limit must be incredible.
