it's so difficult to keep up with today's trends in political correctness and social consciousness. it's ok now to ask "where's the beef," thanks to mr. atkins, but make sure that you're not wearing one of those beefy Ts manufactured by a child's hands in a distant country where geography quizzes die happily.

to make our lives easier so that we can keep up with angelina jolie's next cause, the Women's Environment & Development Organization (WEDO) launched MisFortune500, (www.misfortune500.org) a project profiling fortune 500 companies that uncovers their abuses against women through the denial of rights to decent work, a clean and healthy environment, and access to land, water, food and quality public services.

before you buy your entire summer wardrobe at american apparel, the "sweatshop-free" clothing line for socially responsible consumers with fashion needs, make sure you read about how the CEO is sweating with lawsuits. some of the charges include: "using crude language and gestures, conducting job interviews in his underwear, ordering the hiring of women in whom he had a sexual interest and giving one of the plaintiffs a vibrator."

american apparel is now american appalling.
