6916: Picture Imperfect.


Developing news in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• Ritz Camera warned of possible liquidation, saying it does not have enough cash to survive the summer. You mean those commercials with honcho David Ritz and Carmen Electra didn’t ignite sales?

• The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that over 26 percent of Americans are obese. Somewhere, Ronald McDonald is proclaiming, “Mission Accomplished.”

• J.C. Penney same-store sales for June fell 8.2 percent. Target same-store sales for June fell 6.2 percent. Free sales-inducing ideas: Stock more plus-sized garments and execute promotional tie-ins with Mickey D’s.

• Turns out former D.C. Mayor Marion Barry was busted for stalking his girlfriend, shortly after the two had a spat. Hey, if Barry joined Twitter, would women be upset to learn he was following them?
