Recently US power tool maker Black & Decker has received a hammering from a Swedish advertising watchdog for an advert described as "degrading" to women.
The Black & Decker ad earlier this year promised customers a "pleased wife guarantee", offering beauty treatments worth 350 kronor to the wives of men who bought spent more than 1,500 kronor on its tools.
"Through this text, the council finds that (the company) conveyed an outdated view of gender roles in which women are expected to be placated with beauty treatments while men buy tools".
Women are doing a lot off kick ass stuff now days. The one that most impressed me is being the lead Girl in a Game called Resident Evil. The lead girl in this Alice played by Milla Jovovich. She is so damm hot . She has been voted in as the hottest character in the Video games. This babe is not only hot but kicks ass too. There has also been a Resident evil movie trilogy. Just have a look below where she kicks ass of zombies .
FIGHT MILLA FIGHT......
Also not to be forgotten our very own malashree from kannada movies.

some fundaes
i had been to ericsson dinner yesterday. This dinner was given by ericson AB to students where they get to interact with staff of ericsson to know about the company. To my surprise there were only 3 students from this hardware related field. It was nice to meet the pretty HR staff .
I came to know about some quiet interesting fundae about the swedish names. Martin,The son of eric will have a name of Martin ericson. Anna,the daughter to stravold,will have a name as Anna Stravoldsdotter.Carrying the sirname of dotter has died out about 100 years ago and very few still carry that sirname. To change the surname for girls after marriage is optional. It applies to guys too(yeah !!some change to their wife's surname)
I also met a beautifull belarusian girl . She told me there was a square in her hometown (Minsk,also the capital of belarus)named after bangalore. Its called bangalore square. There also a sqaure known as Minsk square in bangalore. So we were connected in some way. She didn't know why this was there,so do I.
Anybody know please tell me the details about this naming there exists between these two cities.
