This post brought to you by Express. All opinions are 100% mine.
Express Suits is having great contest. If go to their website,you can enter for chance at the- $500 Men's Makeover.
Also, Don't be afraid to share- what you really think- about Express Suits and services.

They are a new sponsor and they would love to get some feedback (with real names, instead of the fear induced, Anonymous name,in the remarks area.)
I personally like the Express 1MX shirt, a true arsenal in corporate fashion. The shirts versatility, for work or play- make it perfect for the man-on-the go.
The best thing about these shirt is how affordable,they really are. They usually go for $30-50. They go for even cheaper at great discount stores, like LA's The Citadel Outlet or Ross Dress for Less. Ross would be the ideal place to shop, for their clothes. Their clothing choices are about, 70% off the retail price.

It looks like the networks have finally found a way around making viewers notice their ads, by disabling the fast forward key on the remote control altogether.
Whenever you order a show on NBC show,you are NOW warned at the beginning. the fast forward mode will not work with this show. ABC and FOX recently added their show to the listings, and now promote this same message. Only CBS (for now) has the fewest ads and will allow you to fast forward any part of the programs.
Time Warner cable subscribers have been given no reason, for why they can't use the fast forward key. The networks are keeping very quiet about the new revelation for viewers. If something isn't done by viewers, this could infect some affect cable channel aligned with their sister networks (USA, MTV,Lifetime, FX;etc.) Will viewers have to go to Congress to get their fast forward buttons back? What's next, the off button?

LIONSGATE® (NYSE: LGF), a leading global entertainment company, and AMC Theatres (AMC), a leading theatrical exhibition and entertainment company, are thrilled to jointly announce the unprecedented success of the AMC Stubs rewards program screenings of the inspirational sports drama WARRIOR. The screenings, which took place at 90 AMC theatres in 47 markets nationwide Wednesday, Aug. 31, marked the first time AMC has offered a free advance screening to members of its AMC Stubs rewards program. Tickets were claimed quickly after they became available to AMC Stubs members on Aug. 12, and over 17,000 people attended the screenings, which were filled to capacity in the majority of their locations.
AMC's Facebook page has exploded with positive feedback from fans about their experience. Comments offered raves for the film, with one attendee describing WARRIOR as a "Great flick! Crowd was cheering, laughing and crying; often all at the same time" and another adding, "Intense moments! Everyone in their seats cheering! Made me feel like I was there ring side and not at the movies! GREAT film!" The film also surprised many attendees with its broader than expected appeal. One AMC Stubs member explained "I usually don't like sports films but this one truly was special. A must see. Thank you," while another emphasized how much his girlfriend loved the film. Along with their gratitude to AMC for offering the free members screenings, many fans underscored that they wouldn't have otherwise seen the film, and that they plan to attend again on opening weekend and will recommend the film enthusiastically.
Said Lionsgate's EVP of Exhibitor Relations and Operations, Mike Polydoros of the partnership, "We've known for some time that the best tool we have to sell the movie Warrior is the movie Warrior, but these particular sneak preview screenings have so many added benefits for all involved beyond the positive word of mouth that we know the film will generate: we love working with our partners in exhibition to add value for their customers in creative ways and drive people to their theaters, and this was a great example of that. And we got a great marketing boost from this collaboration as well; the invitation was extended to more than 1.5 million AMC Stubs members, which helps raise additional awareness for the film."
"Lionsgate shared this special film with us a while ago, and we agreed the story was one worthy of providing to our AMC Stubs members as an incremental benefit," said Sun Dee Larson, Vice President, Film Marketing and Communications at AMC. "Our members were overwhelmingly receptive to the offer and thanked us personally at the screenings for adding this benefit to the already rich rewards we offer. We also received positive feedback on our Facebook page and Twitter feeds."

REUTERS discovered the formerly funny jester, continued his "stirring controversy and alienating large groups of people." The "comedian fired against Stern" on the former game show host, Greg Fitzsimmons (Idiot Savants) new radio show, insisting the shock jock has a "big fat hook nose," and is "miserly."
This Dick reveals his anger is over hosting The S*** Show, for several years on Stern's Sirius Radio channel, Howard 101, back in 2006.
"For two years I did the show and never got paid," the weird, comedian complained. Once Stern learned of the declaration from "a caller (that) informed him of Dick's rant, he said "that Dick's career has been dotted with anti-Semitism."
"So good, Andy's true colors come out." Stern continued, "I'm not surprised by it, I'm used to it. It's just typical." Stern suggested that, "Andy's run out of friends.You're not getting paid a dime because your show sucks, a**-wipe!... Stop blaming the world for your problems. Make yourself valuable, stop looking for the handouts waiting for the Jew to give a job."
The freak comedian "was forced to apologize for using the N-word (a la Micheal Richards) during a 2006 comedy show in Los Angeles." Last Year, "Dick was detained in Huntington, W.V. after reportedly grabbing men's crotches in a bar." Two Years ago, Dick "was arrested in Riverside County on suspicion of pulling down the top of a teenage girl, in a Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant."
He's a cast mate on TV's Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, ,but talk show host Jimmy Kimmel had Dick "forcibly removed from the set of his ABC late-night show, after Dick repeatedly touched Ivanka Trump's hair and legs."

----The real questions is why the show- that constantly attacks others in this society for its greed,and/or stupidity ,being so quiet on this hidden revenue stream- they have invented for themselves.
If you've watched the show for the last few season,the show that dares to subvert and satirize America, has been chocked full secret ads, that rarely or barely have anything to do the the well-written plot, of the ground breaking series.
Recently episodes have featured: Kyle,Cartman and Butters, dinning in Denny's eatery- pushing the weird Bacon-opolis campaign. Cartman beams with pride to his Jewish nemesis,about the fact the store will grind up bacon, into a hot fudge sundae now. At the top of another show, Cartman satirizes the Real Housewives' table shaking incident,by spilling all his friends food and drinks. The Dr. Pepper Logo is visible, even with the purposely crappy animation. Finally, the infamous Tiger Woods/Sex rehab show, where Cartman (notice the trend) and Kenny play a funny, Mortal Combat/Grand Theft Auto style demo of Tiger and his wife's domestic disturbance reports. The problem is the kids, are at a Game Stop style store- with X Box 360 logo, so prominently displayed that only a far sighted person could have missed it.
Product placement is hardly new, and its much worse in the movies, where money has gotten so big- they are now secret sponsors who are basically funding the studio's projects now. On TV though, the commercials are -built into the show as breaks. Since the Dawn of VCR,DVD and DVR era, viewers can ignore or fast forward thorough most of the messages now. So, networks and shows have used this concept, as a last resort to keep sponsors happy and force the viewer to notice its advertisers wares.
Other established shows have experimented with this: The Closer, Burn Notice,Ally McBeal, Buffy, and others have tried this, to obvious and minimal degree. South Park is so far- the only show to succeed in weaving the sponsors (almost seamlessly) into plot without any viewers noticing or complaining.
Still, what is happening to all the money that is rolling in for the show? Is it going to the network? Did the long-time creators of the show: Trey Parker and Matt Stone, use the funds to bankroll their now hit and critically acclaimed Broadway show, The Book of Mormon? Why hasn't the extra money gone into better animation (like the famed Best Buy sponsored World of War craft Show?)
An attempt was made to get a comment, from the network's PR dept.There was no answer by the story's deadline.
