OMG. Did you know what McDonald is putting in the bag of treats that comes with a kid's happy meal?
McDonald is giving away kid's CD that has pop songs that are remixed for kid's called kid's bop.
The thing though is that some of the songs from the original artists have swear words on them. They were altered with non-swear words on the kids bop CD but when you listen to it they really still sounds like the original swear words. "Lookin' around" and "Fuckin' around" does not sound too different if you sing or say them fast.
I heard that McDonalds has no plans of pulling the product out for the public. Instead they instructed the employees to tell and calm the people that complains what the correct words.

Canada and Korea-based Jobs Available for Pinoys
More Filipinos will have a chance to work in South Korea based on the new Employment Permit System (EPS) to be signed by the Philippines and South Korea this May.
According to Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Assistant Secretary Reydeluz Conferido, EPS is scheduled to be signed in late May of this year. The agreement contains several improvements that will result to bigger employment opportunity from South Korea.
DOLE officials have requested South Korean partners to relax the language requirement and to carefully evaluate the companies that seek to employ overseas Filipino workers (OFW) to ensure they are financially sound and would not lay off workers.
Asst. Sec. Conferido, in his interview with the press, said that OFWs are required to take the Korean Language Test every time they return to Korea to work. As of the moment, the department is requesting that this will be amended and to avoid multiple language testing for those who have already passed the examination.
The last EPS between the two countries was signed in 2006 and expired last October 2008.
Meanwhile, about 25,000 jobs are exclusively available for Filipinos in Canada, according to Mr. Richard Mills of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines.
In his interview with ABS-CBN News, Mr. Mills stated that the available jobs come from the engineering, health care, and oil industry.
DOLE Sectary Marianito Roque disclosed that the job openings are part of the memorandum of understanding between the Philippines and Canadian provinces, namely British Columbia, Manitoba, Alberta, and Saskatchewan.
In addition, the country has similar hiring agreements with Australia and Japan where there are employment opportunities specifically in healthcare, education, energy, and real estate sectors.

In a statement posted in the DOLE website, Sec. Roque said, “the positive development is an indication that more affected workers would be returning to their regular jobs. “ The Secretary added that several firms are slowly returning to their normal operations and work hours. As such, workers who were laid off on a temporary basis where called back to work for their companies.
Furthermore, Sec. Roque revealed that despite the crisis, investors are coming in to the country to establish their businesses, paving the way to job generation and employment. The Cavite Economic Zone, for example, attracted new investors aiming to put up new hotels and resorts in the country.
Meanwhile, the number of overseas Filipino workers (OFW) being displaced has decreased “to almost negligible levels” according to DOLE Undersecretary Rosalinda Baldoz in her interview with the Philippine Daily Inquirer. In the same interview, Usec. Baldoz disclosed that employment situation in Taiwan has significantly improved. Sec. Roque revealed that 851 laid off OFWs were rehired by their foreign employers. On the other hand, 468 Filipino workers found new jobs in Taiwan last March.
