YOU'RE JUST GIVING UP TOO EASILY

BEST QUESTIONABLE ADVICE

Editors note: Today's lucky selection advises daters to perhaps go a bit far. This release barely edged over a "best new title release" about someone moving but not for lack of substance: we have a lurking suspicion that we are not doing the blogland a favor by encouraging unhealthy persistence.

HEADLINE: He's Just Not That Into You? Then You're Just Giving Up Too Easily;
Love Expert Tom Mcknight, of Relationship.com, Debunks the New Dating Trend of Walking Away From the One You Want Just Because You Think He May Not Want You

How many times have you heard happily married couples say, "We really didn't like each other that much at first, but after a while, we grew on each other!" Great relationships take time and effort. Giving up easily and simply murmuring the new mantra "I guess he/she just isn't that into me" is really a cop-out.

Eds. note some more: OK, really, if after reading this think that you might want to stop by your love interest's house at 3:30 this coming morning, write us and we will call the cops.

KEEP YOUR POPCORN TEXTURED

BEST NEW PRODUCT

Editors note: It was a close tie today between a new reality TV show that pits "living humans" against "predatory spirits" and the selection below. Product press releases generally contain far superior safe harbors than entertainment releases, and have the potential to improve the lives of our readers. Today's product screams out to the segment of our audience (and half of the forward looking staff) that answers to the call "Hey! All you out there living in your synthetic carpeted, press-board paneled shit holes watching TV with the volume up to drown out the sound of your neighbor's bathtub farts, this is for you!"
