–Women’s Wear Daily reported in October that rock star Marilyn Manson said he was finalizing a personal perfume deal with a “major” company, as a precursor to his own full cosmetics line.
–Parents of McGovern Elementary School students in Medway, Mass., complained to the Boston Herald in October because Paul Trufant’s septic-sewage service, located across from the school, boasts the identifying slogan on all its trucks: “Shit Happens.” Trufant said he would advertise however he wants to: “This is America, not Iraq.”
