"If you think getting your teenager out of the mall will keep money in your pocket, think again: dELiA*s has her covered -- or almost covered -- with bare-midriff peasant tops, short shorts, and barely-there sandals, not to mention Feng Shui necklaces and iridescent lipgloss. The company sells trendy clothing and accessories to girls and young women between the ages of 10 to 24 "

What does this sound like?
A copy from an ad campaign about a to-be launched pret line?
A warning about teenage spending habits and the root culprit?
A company description on Hoovers, a financial information provider, touting to be "The Business Information Authority"TM.

But all the same, its make a heavy research job fun sometimes.

I was just discussing with a colleague in the US about the importance of the issue of offshoring in the U.S and how it might play out in Presidential race, he had this to say "Americans are fickle - they want cheap prices, but when given a choice over supporting a job here, or say one is Hyderabad, they'll say "USA!" but then buy the service offered cheaper thru an outsourced operation. E-Loans is doing that now - gives customers a choice of US loan underwriting or India-based. If you pick India it's either faster or cheaper, and guess what - most pick India. Ah politics and religion -without them we'd have peace :)"
