Digesting the news in a MultiCultClassics Monologues…
• Looks like the hot dog wars are nastier than we realized. The maker of Ball Park hot dogs is suing Oscar Mayer over the claims in its advertising. A spokesman for Ball Park declared, “Simply put, we believe that these untrue statements are all a bunch of baloney.” Well, that would mean the statements have more nutritional value than any brand of hot dog.
• Barnes & Noble reported 1Q losses at $2.7 million. Even the most bibliophilic Barnes & Noble employees don’t want to read the company books.
• John Deere 2Q profits dropped 38 percent. Not sure the company produces a contraption capable of digging them out of that hole.
• DreamWorks announced plans to create the first big-screen movie of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. However, the dream may be deferred, as two of MLK’s kids are threatening to sue because they weren’t involved in the film deal. Guess someone forgot to sit down together at the table of brotherhood and contract negotiations.
