Test Drive of A Full Cup Coupon Site

OK, so straight up, I am not a coupon clipper. I like the idea of it, and from time to time I’ve bought papers and cut them up. But from week to week, I just don’t have time to do that clipping and organizing. But then, you know, five humans and four pets and a crappy economy came along....

Motrin’s Offensive Mom Ad is Proof Companies Must Hire Chief Mom Officers

Have you seen this ridiculous Motrin commercial? The one that says moms wear their babies because it’s in fashion, and to look like an “official mom.” The one that asks if baby wearing makes moms cry. Also be sure to watch the baby version, which claims moms secretly want to be committed....
