This year's Honda ad features celebrity yearbook photos urging viewers to follow their dreams. Life WTR - "Inspiration Drops". We could all use a little inspiration in these dark times. Thanks, John Legend and Life WTR. Mr. Clean - "Cleaner of Your Dreams". Sure, maybe it's a little uncomfortable, but it's also kind of funny. Squarespace - "Calling John __link__".

Prior to the lawsuits, premium squads like the Oakland Raiderettes paid a low $125 per game to cheerleaders. The Buffalo Bills' cheerleading ...

Sixty-seven percent of men between ages 18 - 34 were responsible for cleaning their own clothes in 2014, up from 44 percent the previous year, according to data cited by the Wall Street Journal.
