Okay, so after over a month of procrastination I’m finally hauling ass to get my final paper completed by next week’s deadline. I’ve spent most of today working on it and have 7 pages of my draft complete. <\/P>

But because of cable internet access, it’s just too tempting (and easy) to surf the net. Of course, I tell myself I’m doing it for research on my paper (the title is: In My Humble Opinion: The Effects to Commerce, Politics and Society from Expressing Opinion via the Internet). So, I’ll look something up really quickly….and then start surfing for fun.<\/P>

When that’s not distracting me, random things will pop into my head. Like why do Gillete products have all of their labels in English and French? I mean, logically I’m thinking it’s so they can market the same razor blades and shaving cream in Quebec. But why is it only Gillette that does this? I don’t notice other products in my local market that are multi-lingual. Is Gillette just being very cheap (or is it smart)?  Is Gillette just bigger in Quebec than I thought? I mean, they’re corporate headquarters and even a factory are here in Boston so it’s not because it’s a Canadian product. <\/P>

But I don’t know if I’m more perplexed that they have bilingual labels or that I’m actually so concerned about this that it’s distracting me from my homework.<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
