Wine
connoisseurs already know this - technically, to be called
"champagne," it must come from the Champagne region of
France. Everything else must legally be called sparkling wine. It
seems nobody knows this better than Canadian Danel Macduff. He was on
a Sunwing Airlines flight to Cuba and ordered champagne. But he was
served what he calls a cheaper sparkling wine. He seems to feel this
is worthy of launching a class-action lawsuit against the airline.
Sunwing calls the lawsuit frivolous saying Macduff took its marketing
materials too literally: It promised "champagne vacations"
and "champagne service," which it says were describing the
overall "level of service" one would receive. A lawyer for
Macduff retorts that it's really not at all "about the pettiness
of champagne versus sparkling wine" but instead about the
"consumer message." Lawyer Sebastien Paquette said, "You're
trying to lure consumers by marketing something, and you're not
giving them that something ... It's a dishonest practice." In
the meantime, Sunwing is still pouring the bubbly, but has wiped the
promise of "champagne service" from its marketing and
advertises "sparkling wine" online. Paquette also claims
some 1,600 people want to join the suit, which has not yet been
"certified," which would set it on course for trial. Oh,
and adding insult to injury - the "champagne" was
reportedly served to Macduff in a plastic cup. (BBC)

SCOOP
OF THE DAY:
Apple
announced yesterday that an economic slowdown in China has weakened
sales of its iPhones, Macs and iPads. The situation has forced the
tech giant to lower its financial guidance. Apple says revenue for
its fiscal first quarter will total about $84 billion, which is short
of its $91.5 billion estimate. CEO Tim Cook explained to shareholders
in a letter that the Trump administration's trade tariffs "appeared
to reach consumers" in China and reduced retail sales there.
Comedian
Bob Einstein died Wednesday following a battle with cancer. He was
76. Einstein, the older brother of comic actor/writer Albert Brooks,
launched his show-business career as a writer on “The Smothers
Brothers Comedy Hour” in the late 1960s before creating the
daredevil character Super Dave Osbourne that he performed in sketch
comedy specials and on Showtime. Einstein more recently portrayed
Larry David’s friend Marty Funkhouser in HBO’s “Curb Your
Enthusiasm.”
Musician Daryl Dragon, who is best known as “The Captain” in the 1970s duo the Captain and Tennille, died Wednesday of renal failure. He was 76. Dragon paired with his longtime partner and ex-wife Toni Tennille in the duo. Their song "Love Will Keep Us Together" climbed to No. 1 in Nov. 1974, where it remained for eight weeks.
The wrestling world continues to mourn the loss of iconic host, Mean Gene Okerlund. This guy was so beloved that many people thought he should get into politics. But in the end, wrestling and politics were way too different. One is filled with ridiculous made up story lines designed to get the crowds all worked up. And the other is WRESTLING.

A
Massachusetts man accused of robbing a bank branch with a stick was
captured after he fell out of a tree. 30-year-old Michael V. Taylor
was arrested Monday after a four-hour search by police from five
different departments. He was charged with armed robbery, resisting
arrest, and failure to stop for police. Taylor allegedly demanded
money from a teller at the People's United Bank at about 9:30 a.m.
His weapon in the Christmas Eve robbery was a stick. He then fled the
bank in a red Jeep and soon after a State Police lieutenant tried to
pull him over, but he refused to stop. Taylor allegedly stopped the
jeep in Holyoke and ran across the highway into the woods. That set
off an intensive search and State Police and Easthampton K9 officers
assisted with their dogs. Northampton Police Chief Jody Kasper said
Taylor was able to elude police for hours until his hiding place gave
way. Kasper said, “The tree branch that the suspect was standing on
broke, sending him to the ground, sack of stolen cash in hand.”
Taylor again tried to run away from police, but he was
apprehended.
Back
on Christmas Eve, a crappy prank landed a Pennsylvania man in jail on
arson and other criminal charges. Firefighters and cops were
dispatched following a report that a “bag of dog poop was lit on
fire on a porch” in Shippensburg. A female tenant told police she
was awoken when other residents spotted the fire and began “yelling
to call 9-1-1 and to get out of the house.” The fire was quickly
extinguished and there was no damage to the residence. Asked who
might have set the bag of feces on fire, the tenant fingered
18-year-old Dylan Printz “due to them having a falling out that
night and she told him he could not stay or be there anymore.”
Police subsequently located Printz, who reportedly copped to starting
the fire. He said that he “grabbed a brown paper bag from a Chinese
food order” and filled it with dog poop. He then “put the bag of
feces on the porch and lit it on fire with a Bic lighter.”
