Eggs carry anti-teen prostitution message

QUEBEC CITY A Quebec City-area egg marketing company has joined the crusade against teen prostitution.

Acting on a recommendation by his 16-year-old daughter, Daniel Lavoie, director general of Ovale-brand eggs, has added an anti-teen prostitution message to his company’s 18-egg family pack.

Ovale, which supplies one in three supermarkets in Quebec, has stamped the words.” Prostitution juvénile” on 700,000 egg cartons. Over the words is superimposed a red oval with a diagonal red line through it.

Lavoie’s daughter told her father she knows a girl who was entangled in a teen prostitution ring, suggesting the egg-carton message so families would talk about the issue.

“It is a very, very hot issue here,” Lavoie said, referring to the highly-publicized arrest of pimps and customers of teen prostitutes that has been the talk of the town for more than a year.

“I thought it was a good idea,” Lavoie.

Pet peeve: people who think that “everyone in Southern California” or even more amusingly “Everyone in California” is superficial, obsessed with beauty and wealth, and in shallow pursuit of someone to use.

Ahem.

Dear The Everyone Else:

Southern California is a large place full of many types of people, including but not limited to: Longshoremen, 85-year-old Armenian Ladies, Russian Jewish Immigrants, aerospace engineers, respiratory therapists, Foursquare Gospel deacons, industrial laborers, Mexican-American lesbians, lots and lots of Korean people, and an assortment of shallow, beauty-obsessed twits who moved here because they thought that’s what we were about.

Do not believe your TV. That last group is small and insignificant to the rest of us.

Hugs,

ignatz

P.S. And if you include all of California, please note that Redding, Needles, Salinas, San Bruno, Porterville, Hemet, El Centro, and Auburn have very little to do with the Melrose Place lifestyle either.

Invest in a boot stamping on a human face, forever.

Correctional Systems, Inc. (CSI) has a corporate commitment to providing safe, secure and humane correctional services which give our client population an opportunity, perhaps their first and best opportunity, to make positive changes in their lives.”

narrative fragment #2

Our hero is not a proud man, nor is he polite, so he simply stares at her across the room. She is engrossed in some other conversation and unaware, so it’s almost as though he were watching television. Her face is expressive and alert, and her eyebrows and eyes move quickly and constantly. Occasionally a strand of hair, too short really to be done up, falls and she instantly shoves it up with two fingertips, a tic he finds enthralling.

He sits back in his host’s chair and turns his attention to her shoulder and neck. She is delicately built and the curve of her shoulder, closely fit with a wool coat, attracts him. Frequently one hand will flip up and touch the shoulder as she makes a conversational point, or toy with the collar of the coat, emphasizing her fine bone structure and the line of her neck below her ear.

Finally she takes a break from the conversation and notices him. For a long moment she looks directly at him with a cat’s cool unblinking gaze. Then a tiny quick half smile and she’s up to walk down the hall towards the restroom.

On bare feet as she walks away, her woman’s weight is immediate, real, a touch and not a picture, thumping along to the back of the apartment. He can feel it in his stomach like a little temblor.He knows now that he needs her physically and staring won’t do anymore. By the time she’s settled back in her seat he’s outside, through the screen door with a crash, partygoers watching his back as he bolts off pitched forward and striding down the dark suburban street, fumbling for a cigarette and coughing at the sudden cold.
