A Quick Rant brought about by my fondness for GMA

Okay, so it's 8:47am and I'm sitting here watching GMA (my mom always watched when I was a kid and now I'm hooked. Plus I miss the weather people from WABC Channel 7 because I really enjoyed having weather people who could, gee, I don't know . . . give me an accurate forecast? and by watching ABC I get Sam Champion and sometimes Heidi Jones) and they have a story on Good Housekeeping's VIP (Very Innovative Products) of the year, and I just wanted to rant about the first 2 in particular.

1. The Scotch Fur Fighter from 3M - GREAT. Another disposable product. Use a vacuum people!!

2. Tide Total Care from Proctor and Gamble - Well, P&G. A company that widely tests on animals. See Iams Cruelty or some general vivisection info at AAVS or NAVS. Oh, and did I mention that Iams/P&G likes to use beagle puppies as testers because they don't complain as much?!?!?!?! VOMIT. Oh, and an Iams/Eukanuba truck almost ran me off the road once. Intersting coincidence.

From the NAVS site: (the upside-down triangle indicates that they test on animals.
