Some people seem to want to flaunt virility. According to the Post, Biskind estimates the bedded-by-Beatty women figure at "12,775, give or take, a figure that does not include daytime quickies, drive-bys, casual gropings, stolen kisses and so on.” This seem to be an incredible statistics. One can posit that to boost morale of people under the recession-driven economy, one may grope on someone's elses sleeping behavior.
On a lighter note, the FirstPost in the UK reported that America is out of a recession. It reported that “America has officially emerged from recession, its economy expanding at an annual rate of 3.5 per cent in the three months to the end of September.” However, as of this writing, the unemployment rate as the Bureau of Labor and Statistics predicts would be 10.1% or above. Surely, one can say that people are on encouraging false hopes and false epicenters of confidence. Negative publicity is negative publicity. Some people in America seem to confuse improvement with stagnancy. They also seem to mistake innovation with idleness.
One could hope that the US would follow Japan's lead in terms of innovation. For instance, an improvement in an old product would be appropriate. In Japan, the flavors of Kit Kat are numerous. There are 22 flavors as of the present. The Japanese considers KitKats as lucky charm. They find the ch chocolate brand itself is akin to the Japanese phrase kitto katsu, which roughly translates to "You will surely win!" As a result, most schoolers would bring KitKat to school as lucky charm for examination and quizzes. Nestle Japan capitalize on this obsession and innovates to improve the product. One could hope that US would do the same thing.
Here is the screen shot of the different flavored KitKats:
