...Guardian (UK): "A reply to a question in Notes & Queries yesterday recommended purchasing lion and tiger urine from Chester Zoo to stop neighborhood cats from urinating in a vegetable patch...Chester Zoo would like to forestall requests for its big cats' urine: it asks us to make clear that it does not in fact sell either tiger or lion urine. Many years ago the zoo sold elephant dung, but it no longer does...
...doubtful that consumers will start switching razor brands (unless, perhaps, he endorses Bic out of spite). Yet Procter & Gamble, Gillette's parent company, is no fan of controversy. "P&G is known as being a traditional, conservative company," says Sturner. Plan on seeing more Roger Federer - and no Tiger - while he takes his hiatus from golf...

"They are not going to drop the product line," says Ganis. "They've got too much...
...Upper Deck On Tuesday, in its first public statement since the scandal broke, Upper Deck, a trading-card and memorabilia company, said it is standing by Woods. "Tiger and his family have our full support," said Richard McWilliam, founder and CEO of Upper Deck. "We look forward to his eventual return to the PGA Tour." Upper Deck, which has created Tiger Woods trading cards and collectibles like a Tiger Woods bobble head, has an exclusive licensing agreement with Woods. Upper Deck has no good reason to back out of the arrangement. If Woods catches fire again, the company's Woods...
