How to Be Healthy in a Hip Restaurant: What to Drink?
I have many questions about this video, hosted by natural foods chef and Apprentice: Martha Stewart alum Bethenny Frankel:
Why a "hip" restaurant? Are we assuming that those at unhip restaurants are fat uglies who care not what they swill? And what exactly is hip about STK, a place given a one-star rating by New York Magazine, who said, "none of the cocktails costs under $12, and none of those we tried was any good?"
Why does it take 3.27 minutes to explain that drinks with sugar have more calories, and that it's better to drink less than more? And after watching her hawkish monitoring of her friends' drink choices, will anyone ever want to go to a bar with Bethenny again?
But my biggest question is: why does this video have almost 96,000 views?

David Hasselhoff's New Wendy's Ad
Here’s what’s curious about this Wendy’s "commercial" crafted from the infamous Drunken Hasselhoff video: it’s actually not a bad Wendy’s commercial. Somehow, they’ve edited out the most repulsive parts of both the Monsieur LeHoff and the Wendy’s burger videos -- the slurring, the drooling, the disintegration into a sodden mess -– and come up with something kind of... sort of... almost... good... ish. I hate to admit it, but watching this really does make me (or at least a small part of me) want to get drunk with David Hasselhoff and order up some Wendy’s. And I don’t even drink. Or like red meat. Disturbing.
