Smart is the New Sexy



Uploaded on Mar 14, 2011
There are 1.4 billion people in the world living in extreme poverty. That's 1.4 billion people living on less than $1.25 a day.

The Global Poverty Project has developed a multi-media presentation, 1.4 Billion Reasons, that is travelling the globe engaging and inspiring audiences to understand and get involved in the movement to end extreme poverty.

Book or attend the 1.4 Billion Reasons presentation at http://www.globalpovertyproject.com

Really, I thought that some 20-odd threads of meltdown over one beach photo was the tasteful, dare I say bare, minimum.

Honestly, if the Ukraine hadn't fallen apart, I'd wager some folks would still probably be starting threads gravely tsk-tsking and somberly tut-tutting about the damn thing.

But hey.... who knows!

Jeannie is smart as a whip!
She really is, but seriously, intelligence is sexually attractive.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]You We must be that far advancedith. I've always found smart to be very sexy, too -- as opposed to dumb/uninformed, especially when also very opinionated.

Here's to being ahead of the times!
