It's Pronounced, "Beembo"

Ever wonder about Bimbo bread? Ever sat back and thought, "what is the deal with Bimbo bread" well if so today is your lucky day cuz I got some deets on this wheaty goodness.
According to Wikipedia:
Grupo Bimbo was established in Mexico in 1945 by Lorenzo Servitje, Jaime A. Sendra, Jose T. Mata, and Jaime Jorba. Today it is one of the most important baking companies in brand and trademark positioning, sales, and production volume around the world. The company is currently #5 among the largest food corporations in the world, just behind Unilever, Sara Lee, Kraft Foods and Nestlé[citation needed].
Also:

The name "Bimbo" has no specific meaning in Spanish; thus, the name has not caused significant uproar as it would in the United States, where the word "bimbo" has a negative connotation. The official version has it that the name Bimbo, coined in 1945 when the company was rebranded from its previous name, Super Pan S.A., was chosen because the company thought it competed well with the existing Bambi and Dumbo brands in Mexico. In addition, the innocent, childlike name went well with the brand image they wanted to build[4].

In Mexico as in some Latin American countries, it is common to refer to any bread brand as "pan bimbo" (bimbo bread) instead of the proper "pan de caja" (loaf of bread). The name "Bimbo" has almost become a synonym for bread. The brand is highly trusted for quality and taste, and is known to have one of the most expansive distribution networks in Latin America, often making it available even in the most remote places.

Also:

The corporate image, a small white teddy bear, was inspired by a Christmas card sent by the grandson of the company's founder to his grandmother during the early 1950s[citation needed]. The teddy bear in the picture was thought to be ideal as Bimbo's corporate image, and was, literally, stripped of its clothes and given a white apron and a chef's hat[citation needed]. In order to represent Grupo Bimbo, which also encompasses non-food related companies, a new more traditional and mainstream logo was developed. However, the white teddy bear remains the image the general public most relates to Bimbo as a brand.

Wow, I never knew so much about Bimbo bread before. At least I know it tastes good! Well actually my fellow blogger says it tastes good but I have never tried it so I can't be sure. Well at least I know it's Mexican!

Sad Time At The Emmys

Well the Emmy's were kinda a bust last night. Lost didn't win a single pointy trophy thing. John Cryer didn't win even a single award. Everyone was pretty sad. Here are a bunch of pictures I took last night of the Lost cast throughout the show.



But there is some good news too! It was a great night for TEMPLE GRANDIN!!!!!! I was so proud of everyone involved in this project, but mostly for temple. Mostly for Claire Daines freaky acceptance speech and voice. Winner of the freakiest voice and demeanor in an acceptance speech: Claire Daines.

LOST FOREVER

Lost lost the final loss.
well at least we got this picture

Lost

Oh, by the way, she is also lost. She lost.

Lost


So sorry Jack Bender. But at least you won the award for best name of a director ever.

LOST

I hate my life right now. I wanna go back to the island and go crawl next to Vincent and just lay there and die.

Lost

Lost. Lost. They Lost. We all lost. It's all our loss. We are all losers. I am done making my own kind of music. It was never Penny's boat.

Lost


They just Lost. Should have won. It's the last year for Losty and I want them to get the most. I want them to get their moneys worth.

Excuse Me?

Uuuuuuuhhhhhhh...... what?.......

Here is a picture of matthew fox and his mother


here is a picture of matthew fox and his wife


notice something? yes, they are the same person. this salt and pepper combo is out of control. there is something called "matthew foxes wife syndrome" and now we know where it comes from. matthew foxes wife syndrome is when you have a hot body old face. JUST KIDDING. it is when a person looks really old but is actually probably young. at least younger than they look. in order for it to be a true full blown case of the wife the person must look at least 20 years older than they actually are. and if they are married to salt and pepper it is even better.


Matthew J. Fox


Hey check out this little Emmy red carpet interview."Hey Matthew, so what are you wearing tonight?" "Salt and Pepper" Also check out what Matthew Fox looked like before he was salt n pepper. He was just milk and turtlenecks.
Also, its so obvious that Lost is gonna win the Emmy for cutest candid cast photos. Can't Wait!


Ryan Seabreast

It is painful to watch Ryan Seacrest interview Christina Hendricks. He is concentrating so hard on not staring at her boobs. He tries so hard to stare into her eyes. It all too quickly becomes too much to bare and Ryan blurts out a comment about Christina's "two cents" or her, "a little more than two cents" whatever the fuck that means. He then goes on to wave her Mad Men Barbie doll around in front of her breasts making sure the camera lingers. While her husband looks on.

Great job Ryan, always a creep, never change (please change)

Charo or Churro?

inspired by events at the emmys, do you prefer charo?

"Official documents in Murcia, Spain (where she was born) and the United States indicate she was born in 1941, but Charo insists she actually was born in 1951."



or churro
"Churros, sometimes referred to as a Spanish doughnut, are fried-dough pastry-based snacks, sometimes made from potato dough, that originated in Spain"


Hi I'm Temple Grandin

Hi I'm Temple Grandin. Just kidding I'm Claire Daines and I am talking about Temple Grandin. I am talking to Ryan Seacrest about Temple Grandin. Here are a couple of the things I said.
"She recognized herself in my performance." "I cherish her". And then when I was asked about how I looked tonight and about my glamorous style I said. "It's not very Temple" and then Ryan said, "Antithesis of Temple".
This just in, when reached for a comment Temple Grandin responded, "Shut up Claire Daines. Why don't you go sit down and watch Brokedown Palace. Then when you blow your brains out after viewing it the blood splatter can be the antithesis of Temple." Thanks Temple.

No one's favorite show is Brothers and Sisters. Also BRENDA!!! Bren, what are you doing over there? This is how much nobody's favorite show is Brothers and Sisters, I didn't even know Brenda was on this show. Also Brenda is a snake.

good one, guiliana

glee's secrets are more closely guarded than the pentagon's.


gulie, listen, stick to the script, they dont pay you do make up shit. you know, i dont even hate you. you are better than a lot of e's hosts. but it doesnt give you points when you say stupid things. your words are more stupid than a yellow guy with a crayon in his brain.

why the heck are you crying?



my fellow blogger broke into tears a few minutes ago. i dont know why. I would really appreciate it if you sent her letters of encouragement. encourage her to tell me. also send her letters of cheer. cheer her up. cheers with your beers. this has been the weirdest emmys yet. my blog partner has been so strange and it is freaking me out. what should i do?

Funky Feet

This just in. Us here at the Emmy's sitting here at the Emmy's listening into conversations just heard a great lil snippet. Guiliana Rancic just told the most AMAZING story. So she was showing off her lil ensemble. Obviously since this is E! they had to use the shoe cam to check out her shoes. Well here is where it gets interesting, while lingering on her feet Guiliana says, "I know I have ugly feet, I'm sorry, I played soccer as a child." HAHAHAHAHAHA Great story G! I like the part where her normal feet were called ugly and how its cuz she played soccer as a kid and how girls shouldnt play sports cuz they might get ugly feet and then one day when they are on a shoe cam they will have to apologize. I also like the part where a shoe cam is a thing.
But also there is another side to this story. I am so stupid. I was thinking of getting a funny picture of feet to go along with the blog and then I made a huge mistake. I typed in gross feet and pressed search. Then I cried cuz it was disgusting and I tried to shield my eyes but the damage was done. And then I was like, why don't I just type in feet. Well guess what, even if you just type in feet the first pictures are of deformed feet. Scary feet. I cried some more. I am wiping the tears away still.
Oh well, it's Glam Cam 360 time!!!!
