6628: Assorted Losers.

Transforming the news in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• The Los Angeles Times reported General Motors’ money troubles are adversely affecting its ability to provide marketing firepower for movie tie-in partners. Even super-powered robots can’t transform GM into a financially stable company.

• Ex-New York Governor Eliot Spitzer spoke out on his infamous prostitution escapades. “Like most of us, I suppose, I’ve had flaws,” said Spitzer. “I’ve tried to think about it deeply, address it. There are no excuses. I have tried to address these gremlins, confront them.” Hey, if Ashley Dupré is a Gremlin, we can’t wait to see the Ghoulies.

• Reports show more and more companies are cutting back on employee healthcare benefits and 401(k) matches. Whatever happened to the notion that a company’s most important asset are its people?

• A new study shows 1-in-5 U.S. 4-year-olds is obese, with a higher rate among American Indian kids. Look for Mickey D’s and Burger King to start visiting the reservations.
